After 'Doctor Who,' Catherine Tate Was a Royal Treat in This Comedy Series
Image
Shove over Donna Noble, BBC One's Queen of Oz is officially Catherine Tate's cheekiest role. Known for her razor-sharp wit in series like Doctor Who and The Catherine Tate Show, Tate continues her streak of comedy gold as Princess Georgiana, a scandal-prone and disastrous royal spare who finds herself Queen of Australia after her mother unexpectedly abdicates the throne.
