Long Live the Demented FanGirls!

Last summer, when Catherine Tate was appearing in a play in London, DFGs [livejournal.com profile] hooloovoo_42, [livejournal.com profile] zinke and I went to see it, and managed to meet CT afterwards. We chatted for a while, and then Fenny presented her with a DFG T-shirt featuring a mug shot of one Mr Whitford (taken in NY), together with a smaller, heart-shaped photo of CT and David Tennant underneath. Ms Tate seemed a bit bemused initially, but when she realised it was a pic of Brad on the shirt, she whooped with glee, and yelled, "oh, I love him!!!!"

Anyway, this morning on Radio 2, Tate & Tennant were sitting in for Jonathan Ross - and I really think they should do it more often, because they're a fantastic double act - and a listener emailed or texted in to say that they had been given a t-shirt for Xmas which had David Tennant's face on it, and that she was wearing it - and her husband was sulking. Heh.

CT then went on to describe - IN DETAIL - the shirt that Fenny had given her last year! If it's up on Listen Again, it was in the first half hour or so of the programme.

Someone has to record this and send it to me immediately!!!!!

I think Fenny is trying to find it on the iPlayer or Listen Again...
Mr Caz and I were sitting here grinning from ear to ear :-)

That's fantastic!

The West Wing changed my life too, Ms. Tate.

omg I was listening to the show and I heard her describe that shirt, thinking 'Brad shout out! How cool!'. Little did I realise it was YOU GUYS SHE WAS TALKING ABOUT!! WIN!

Hee! I was amazed as well at the detail she went into - it was almost a year and a half ago!

Has anyone managed to snag this yet? I can try with Freecorder, if nothing else.

What a fangirl...she was totally still excited about it, you could hear it in her voice. :-)

and I really think they should do it more often, because they're a fantastic double act

They were delightful! I need to finish listening to the whole thing.

They've been on telly together a few times over Xmas and you can tell they really do get on fantastically well and just "click". This is the second time they've sat in for Jonathan Ross, and I hope they can manage to get them to do it again.

I'm not sure if [livejournal.com profile] zinke has managed to hear it yet - I'll ask her :)

I'm in the process of d/l it and can make it available. If you want the whole thing, that's easy. If you just want the bit with the t-shirts, I'll have to do some editing.

Oh, that's okay! I just wanted to be sure someone could snag it, because that needs to be preserved for posterity! :-)
