- Grumpy-conservative, stubborn, resistant to change.
- Enjoying a second childhood- as relieving their adolescent and engaging in activities that they have always longed to do before they die. (Cheeky)
- Older people are also represented as pitied, dependent or and economic burden- helpless and dependent on other younger members of society or family.
Catherine Tate Nan
- Is she stereotypical? No
- Why? Even though she is grumpy, she takes it to the extreme and becomes unrealistic, for example she swears a lot and seems to enjoy being horrible to her family who look after her.
- Look at her iconography, what does it say about her character? She is wearing a dress and knitted cardigan which is stereotypical to the role of a nan. Her skin is wrinkled and and her posture stumped to show ageing within her body.
- What type of genre of programme does she exist in? How does this affect her representation? Comedy, makes her character more extreme and less realistic, she may take the stereotypical role and make it more comical by taking it to the extreme.
