Representation-Old people



This video repreesents old people very well. Father Jack is always cranky and can barely hear. This is a very typical steroetype of old people. We se e hiom not being able to hear properly when he mistakes 'for our lord' for 'Allard'. We also see it as he always shouts. He also is a very heavy drinker which is not a typical representation of old people but adds to his crankiness which is the most obvious stereotype.

Another great representation is Catherine Tate's character 'Nan'. She is a very typical as she is very opionated and hates a lot of things. She constantly complains about everything and is very rude. She normally offends people but gets away with it due to her age. This is a good representation of old people as the stereotype is always of someone very cranky and needs help being looked after which she has from her grandson. The grandson obviously finds her offensive in many ways but still stays with her because she's family.
