[etni] A bit of comic relief...with some Shakespeare

Don't know if any of you (especially the Brits) have heard of Catherine Tate.   
Apparently she is a wildy popular British comic whose speciality is appearing 
in sketches as "Loren" an English "frecha" school pupil in various classes.  
Here is a link to a sketch with the English class which some of you might 
appreciate.  Great for any of you who plan to teach one of Shakespeare's 
sonnets. For those who are not "in the know", the actor plays "Dr Who", a time 
traveling scientist, in a sci-fi series that has been running for about 30 
years in the UK - changing the actor who plays the main character from time to 
time. 

If you enjoy it - check out her other clips on Youtube, she has something 
similar with a chemistry and French teacher.  I couldn't believe how she speaks 
to the Queen in the royal command performance....breaks all the "taboos".

Not the most highbrow entertainment I've seen but certainly interesting as a 
comment on British society these days.  

Best wishes,
