Catherine Tate angry over BAFTA snub
Published Saturday, May 26 2007, 10:16 BST | By Daniel Kilkelly
Catherine Tate has complained that the BAFTAs are unfair after missing out on winning an award for a third year.
The comedienne, best known for her characters of schoolgirl Lauren and foul-mouthed pensioner Mrs. Taylor, has accused the panel of being out of touch with the views of the British public.
The Catherine Tate Show was nominated in the Best Comedy category this year, but the award went to BBC Two's That Mitchell and Webb Look.
"I don't like to use the word fixed but it should be fair," Tate told The Mirror at the Ivor Novello Awards. "Only 10 people vote but have they asked the nation? I've lost three times."
