Tubechopped video, representation of old people

I chose 'Nan' from the Catherine Tate Show because she has been dressed and is acting in the was that old people are portrayed in the media. In this tubechopped clip she is shown as being forgetful and also caring. Her outfit consists of bright colour in clothes such as cardigan and a patterned apron.  Her appearance is grey matted hair and a wrinkled face.


Stereotypical characteristics of an old people; grumpy, out-dated, slow, weak, whining, unable to use technology, unhealthy, miserly, hard-of-hearing, ugly, never go anywhere
