Daniel Craig and Catherine Tate's Nan to star in James Bond sketch for Comic Relief
Catherine Tate's Nan sets her sights on 007 during tonight's Comic Relief telethon.
James Bond has faced all manner of villains, spy bosses and double agents in his time, but it looks as though he's finally met his match with Catherine Tate's Nan in an upcoming Comic Relief sketch.
Daniel Craig, who's been Britain's resident Bond since 2008, stars in a brand new Red Nose Day sketch tonight alongside Catherine Tate, who's reprising her character Nan – the foul-mouthed OAP seen on The Catherine Tate Show.
The skit is set to air during Comic Relief's three-hour comedy special tonight, hosted by Alesha Dixon, David Tennant, Davina McCall, Paddy McGuinness and Sir Lenny Henry.
Here's everything you need to know about the upcoming Bond sketch.
