Hi all
As reported in The Sun today, Catherine Tate is planning to kill off her character Lauren in a canoeing.
Taken straight from The Sun Online on 10/12/07 " THIS is the moment gobby teen Lauren Cooper is killed in a CANOEING accident.
Catherine Tate’s terrible teen creation plunges to her death while shrieking “Am I bovvered” - but there’s still the chance writers could bring her back from the dead - just like real-life canoe faker John Darwin.
Schoolgirl Lauren, on a trip with classmates, is warned by a local as she paddles off.
But she teases: “Are you a yokel? Are you married to your sister, is your cousin your mum?” He tells her: “You are a very rude, ignorant young woman.”
Lauren swans off, refusing to listen, and plummets down a massive waterfall, screaming her catchphrase.
The Christmas special sketch then cuts to her pals standing by her grave, with its suitably worded headstone as P Diddy’s track Missing You plays in the background.
I can't help thinking this isn't going to help canoeings image or the Access campaign - don't know if there's anything we can do about it, but if you feel like emailing the BCU....
Don't get me wrong, I love Lauren, but this kind of publicity I think we could do without!
