It’s lovely you found this Zooey. Catherine Tate is genius.
The character first had no name, but was immediately dubbed the “AGA Saga”-woman due to the third episode of this character series. The AGA is an expensive and iconic cast iron cooking range beloved by the upper-middle class.
When “mummy” was obliged to interact with NPLU’s (Not People Like Us) she needed a name, and “Mrs Montgomery” was used first but it was too prosaic and so it then became more fittngly Mrs Taylor Thomas.
And then as a complete contrast here she is as Lauren, the “chav” schoolgirl (whose catch phrase is “I ain’t ‘bovvered’–bothered-), including H.M. Queen Elizabeth in the sketch at the Royal Variety Performance.
Thanks for posting all the clips, 5th! I think she’s awesome.
I agree, Turtle. She’s the best companion, because she doesn’t have an undercurrent of unrequited love going on with the Doctor. That gets seriously tedious.
Ah well, that was worth waiting for! Poor fellow hasn’t got a chance, does he? At least she was honest about it!
But wait! There’s more! 😀

And here’s “Angie Barker-Working Woman Detective”. ( there’s a 20 second advertisement first)
Oh and there’s this, which had Daniel Craig in it—just brilliant.
Definitely the best Dr Who companion of the modern era, she had a sexy and comic undercurrent going with David Tennant’s doctor…..
…hilariously funny and a redhead….. mmm, mmm turtle could give up green for red…
