Got a postcard yesterday that I somehow must have missed in the post. It's from BBC Worldwide and reads:
Dear Derren
We are pleased to let you know that
THE CATHERINE TATE SHOW Series 2
Has been licensed to BBC America.
Proposed first transmission date is 23rd June 2006.
I can't hide the fact that the thought of being on the telly in America is quite exciting. I don't care if only 3 people watch BBC America, the thought of someone switching on a TV programme in New York and me being on it is bizarre and wondrous to me. I loved NY so much the first time I went I was almost in tears in the cab heading for JFK at the end of my week's stay. I've never been to the west coast of America, not sure I would enjoy it.. give me fat, loud, drunk New Yorkers as opposed to thin, tanned, botoxed Californians any day. So I may have to put the 23rd of June in my diary so I can raise a glass and celebrate being in the living room of some Greenwich Village apartment (probably). Hopefully that will keep me going until my next visit to the only city apart from London I would ever consider making my home.
