The Nan Movie
The Nan Movie is a 2022 comedy film written by Catherine Tate and Brett Goldstein and directed by Josie Rourke (uncredited). The film stars Tate and Mathew Horne. A British-Irish co-production, it is based on the television series, Catherine Tate's Nan, which is a set of four specials that were broadcast between 2009 and 2015, and itself is a spin-off of the television sketch series, The Catherine Tate Show (2004–2007). The film centres on the eponymous Nan character who travels cross-country to visit her dying sister, and includes several flashbacks to their upbringing and early adulthood.
Foul-mouthed and cantankerous London woman Joanie "Nan" Taylor (Catherine Tate) is living her best life and her grandson, Jamie (Mathew Horne) now has a YouTube channel making short films. Nan receives a letter from her younger sister, Nell (Katherine Parkinson), who tells her she is dying. Jamie wants to go to see her but Nan is reluctant, however, when she gets an invite from her neighbours to have dinner with them (who Nan tells Jamie they are naturist) she decides to go see Nell. Jamie gets his craft van, which helps people with emotional difficulties, and he and Nan head to the island off of Ireland, but Nan would rather head to Coventry to spend her vouchers. During the journey Jamie asks why she and Nell fell out to which Nan tells him.
When she was young she and Nell got on really well until their father died. This meant the two of them had to go on his horse and cart and sell things, but when World War II happened things changed. One night in a club Joanie and Nell meet an American soldier called Walter (Parker Sawyers) and they are both immediately smitten with him. As time goes on Joanie and Nell try to get Walter to fall for them, but Nell gets between Joanie and Walter, and he falls for her. Later on Joanie receives a letter from Walter asking to meet him at a train station before he is called away, but shortly after Nell reveals she is expecting so when Joanie goes to meet Walter she rejects his feelings for her. The next day Terry Taylor (Jack Doolan), who has always loved Joanie, ask her to marry him and she accepts. After the war Nell marries Walter and tells Joanie that she wasn't really pregnant, she feigned it to get Walter. They fight and Joanie and Terry walk out on Nell.
Back on the road trip Jamie deliberately misses the turn-off to Coventry and ends up in Liverpool, where they are greeted by Officer Mahler (Niky Wardley) who used to work at the council before Nan caused her to be fired. In the hotel, Nan and Jamie are woken by a noisy party of Australians going on down stairs, which leads to Nan go clubbing with them; Jamie has to pull her away. The next morning the two head to what Nan thinks is Coventry but, whilst she is asleep, Jamie heads to a ferry to take them to Dublin, with Mahler following them.
When in Dublin, Nan makes friends with a man called Mick (Tom Vaughan-Lawlor) who she calls Mick, Mick, Mick because he has three Ms tattooed on him. In the van the three get really close, but on the radio they discover Mick is a vegan activist who helps animals escape slaughterhouses and the three Ms mean "Meat Means Murder." Mick uses the help of Nan and Jamie to sneak into a poultry farm with explosives to help the chickens escape. With Jamie distracting the guard, Nan and Mick blow up the slaughterhouse and escape, while Mahler was watching them the whole time.
Realising they are in a lot of trouble, Jamie tries to think what to do, but Nan telephones her Australian friends, who help them disguise the van and themselves. When cornered by the police, Mick decides to hand himself in, causing a distraction to let Nan, Jamie and the Aussies escape. However, Mahler is following them Jamie has to speed up and make a massive jump to catch the boat to the Island off of Ireland. They manage to make it, but Mahler falls in the water. On the boat, Nan reveals that she is jealous that Nell got Walter, but Jamie adds that she had a nice life with Terry.
When they finally reach Nell's, Nan agrees to see her. Inside, Nan is reluctant to see Walter, but discovers he dresses in women's clothes, which she finds hilarious because she thought they had the perfect life. Nan realises that she did love Terry and he was her true love. Jamie later joins them and they all reminisce about the old times. They soon make their goodbyes. Nell and Nan finally know that they both married the right men. Nan and Jamie decide to head home and Nan tells Jamie that she loves him and is proud of him.
Back in London, Nan heads back to her flat where they are greeted by their neighbours, who actually are naturists. They ask if Jamie and Nan would like to join them, to which Nan says her old catchphrase "What a fucking liberty."
