Miranda Hart- Such Fun!





Let's be honest, you like to laugh, don't you? You like the people who make you laugh, right?  Then, you should like Miranda!
"Miranda" is a fantastic comedy from England starring Miranda Hart. She is not only the star but also the creator and writer!
(You might remember Miranda Hart from some episodes of "Call The Midwife". The very tall one, I think her character's name was "Chummy".) 

 This show is so funny!  Very often, I will chuckle over it and giggle,  but sometimes it makes me howl with laughter! The writing is very clever and Miranda with the other actors make up such a great ensemble. It is a pleasure to watch and listen to witty dialogue.  And Miranda...well, what can I say...for someone to go on a job interview and then to begin SINGING...why no, I have never done that myself, but if you know me, you know I have wanted to!


Another thing about the music...sometimes at the end of the show, they will have a song that all the actors will somehow join in...either singing or dancing, and it just makes the perfect ending.

"Miranda" ran from 2009 until 2015..so we haven't seen all the episodes here in the USA!  Why, I just read that Miranda MARRIED her gorgeous Gary (played by Tom Ellis) at the end of the last season! What! We missed that one!
Also, I have been reading that maybe, just maybe, the series will be renewed and new episodes will be made.    Such fun!

Wait...here is a word that I must say..."plinth".  It just sounds good doesn't it?   (This is the sort of thing that Miranda will say, and it might not seem that funny but it is the WAY that she says it, it makes it very giggle worthy.)


I don't wish to put anyone on a pedestal or plinth. (Yes, I had to say it.) I just wanted to let you know that this is one British comedy that is most certainly my cup of tea.  

Let me know if you like Miranda Hart as much as I do! Not only witty and intelligent, she is also very involved with charities and that is the kind of person that I most admire- a nice one. You may read more about her just here.  It sounds as if she comes from a wealthy background but hey, I won't hold that against her! Laughing out loud! (When is the last time anyone typed that out, I wonder?)

"Thank you and kind regards".

  1. She was my favorite character on Call The Midwife. I will have to look this up on Netflix or PBS. Can't wait to see it!

  3. I've been watching "Miranda" for months and was very disappointed when the show ended. Love it, and yes, she does make me laugh out loud, too! Only by coincidence did I catch one or two episodes of "Midwife"; I had not known before that Miranda Hart was in it, too.
    Such fun indeed :-D

    1. I wonder if you got to see all the episodes that they have shown in England? I know that we have not, we don't always get all the seasons, I think our public television stations can afford to buy only one or two seasons! :-)
      Happy you like her too!

  4. I have seen a few episodes of her show and would love to see more. Laughter is something we all need and like they say, It's the best medicine!

  5. She's certainly very clever, and funny. Life's far too serious to be taken seriously.

  6. I loved that show and used to watch it on Acorn TV. She is such a talented woman, so clever and so funny. I didn't know about the charities and am very glad to hear it.

    1. Researching this post, I realized what a truly nice person she is, and that made me want to write about her all the more.

    1. Yes, be sure you watch this if you can! I am seeing it on PBS just now and I just hope they get more episodes!

  9. I do find Miranda to be very charming and cute in a way. If you enjoyed Miranda then I'd recommend watching Not Going Out if you can find it. She plays a role in that too and she does a great job. I believe it was her role in that that convinced the Beeb to try giving her a show of her own.

    1. Thanks for telling me about that, Mark! We will sometimes get shows from England YEARS after you have seen them, so I will look out for that one! The BEEB, that makes me laugh, since I know that is what you call the BBC! :-)

  10. I'll keep an eye out for that one - there are so many shows, aren't there? This one sounds good.

    1. Miranda will also play the Dew Drop Fairy in a new movie coming out...next year or at the end of this year..."The Nutcracker and The Four Realms". Look out for it!

  12. LOL! I didn't even notice that you had typed it out, Kay! I know exactly where that last photo was taken! The gigantic winged lions at the entrance to the Assyrian lion hunt panels are unforgettable as are the powerful lion images. Sorry, I got sidetracked from Miranda's humor! British humor is awesome!

    1. Hey Louise! You made me look this up because I thought I was losing my mind! Those ARE from the British Museum but they are the human headed BULLS, you might not be able to see them that well in my photo. There are some AMAZING lion images from there as well! Oh no, now I am wanting to go to the British Museum right now! Look what you have done to me! :-)
