"The Office" is about to get another taste of Tate.
BAFTA nominee Catherine Tate (star of BBC’s enigmatically titled "The Catherine Tate Show") is returning to the NBC comedy this season, reprising her role as Nellie Bertram.
Bertram is hired by Dundler-Mifflin Chairman of the Board Jo Bennett (Kathy Bates) as a favored special projects manager who works directly for the corporate office, enjoying special attention from Bennett.
"Catherine is hysterical," said executive producer Paul Lieberstein in a release. "We introduced her briefly in last season's finale and knew she had to be a part of the show somehow. We'll meet her again as corporate's special projects manager, and her relationship with Robert California (James Spader) will be far from professional. We're thrilled that she's joining the cast."
Tate has also appeared on BBC’s “Doctor Who,” and in the films “Gulliver’s Travels,” “Monte Carlo,” “Mrs. Ratcliffe’s Revolution,” and “Starter for Ten.”

Hey America not everything on British TV is great and needs to be adapted or cast for your entertainment. Some of it is just rubbish.

October 21, 2011 at 7:28PM EST Reply to CommentThe makers of "The Office" seem to think she's funny for some reason, but based on what we saw last season, I can't say I agree. Then again, we only saw a couple minutes of her so maybe I'm wrong. Still, I can't say I'm optimistic.

October 21, 2011 at 8:18PM EST Reply to CommentI have a completely opposite opinion: Now I have a reason to watch this season. I think Catherine is hysterical and will be a breath of fresh air on a dull dull season.
