Catherine Tate's new comedy vehicle as her starring as Princess Georgiana. The hard drinking, hard partying enfant terrible of the British monarchy.
An incident where she throws up at a schoolgirl in a visit to a high school seems to the final straw with the monarchy, the media and the British public.
Princess Georgiana is shipped off to Australia, metaphorically. She arrives as the new Queen of Australia, wearing a warm jacket. Her dim lady in waiting Anabel assumed it will be cold in January in Australia.
The only issue is, her Australian staff dislike her because they are Republicans and Georgina does not even bother to learn their names.
Essentially a fish out of water comedy. The opening episode paints Princess Georgiana as selfish, moronic and an unlikeable drunk. Not really a stretch for Tate's comedy persona. I noted that the first episode managed to insert a timelord gag.
I guess the character will be softened in later episodes. I just did not find it that funny or satirical.
