A genuine successor to French and Saunders/Catherine Tate and going right back to Joycw Grenfell.


Miranda is a terrific Clown in the happy and comedic sense who is not afraid to take risks and make herself appear foolish, which she is, obviously, far from.


Great timing. marvellous "confidences" to the viewer/audience and plays her part in her feature series at just the right pitch. Her performances with the excellent Pamela Hodge are worth watching for alone. If these 2 don't win awards for the current series I will be amazed.


She also seems a genuinely pleasant and decent person. Very likeable.


I'm pleased as well, as all my funniest people have been Male for Decades from Peter Sellers to Leonard Rossiter to The Pythons to The Blackadder Boys to Steve Coogan alongside Tommy Cooper, Morecambe and Wise, Bob Monkhouse, Paul Merton, Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie and more latterly Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant and if I cate to think about it probably many others.


Miranda-"Such Fun"..>:D<

As Alan Partridge is one of my favourite 3 Characters of all time, we will have to differ on that one!

Dunno Narnia - am a Lancashire lass, and we had a lot of bobbins in our neck of the woods back in the day, what with t'mills and all. No idea how it came to mean a bit rubbish though.


And yes Sean, you're right, she is tremendously likeable, and very happy to poke fun at herself, and seems intelligent - all admirable qualities. But I've watched two episodes of this now, and didn't laugh once.

I am a big fan and laugh like a drain when she is on. It is embarrassing for all around when I watch it on a plane, with headphones on, because I can't help but roll back my head, hit the armrest heavily with my palm and repeat the punchline whilst snorting loudly. More please!

I agree she is likeable ,there are loads of people I think are likeable , dunno if they should get a series on the tv though. There are a lot of people I don't find likeBLE David Mitchell for instance who I think is a little smug twat , and seems to be beeming up at at you every time you pick up a copy of the fuckin observer these days

Hmm Huguenot, I'm unconvinced, having never once heard anyone in Manchester use rhyming slang (and rotten seems a bit harsh for the way bobbins is employed).


Just did an internet trawl and the suggestion arose that 'there were nowt left but bobbins' could be the cause. I like that more. Only the rubbish left, none of the thread. Nice.




Edited for forgetting the ion in suggestion.

Gosh how very Orwellian of you siousxie.


Go the whole hog and deprecate 'she' whilst you're at it.


Ive seen this person interviewed and find them intelligent, charming and self deprecating.


The sitcom in question is a perfect example of the sort of mediocre comedy this country manages to produce in bucket loads, and I want to hate it, but having caught it a couple of times,it is SO ridiculously daft and puerile i do chuckle away at it. I guess it must have managed to inject it with a certain infectiousness that works.

Siouxsie is right - "Comedienne" is in the same vein as "Poetess". (Pass the sickbag).

Not wishing to diverge entirely from the subject in hand, but feminists of the EDF.....is this really what gets your goat?


Is it such a crime to differentiate the sexes through grammar? Our continental friends seem to do it no end to no ill effect. Germany makes train stations male yet still has a female head of state.....how do they do it? Probably by worrying about something important I would imagine.

      Fly the flag

      I don't know all this. Children are starting school and people are scared because the children might be attacked by asylum seekers? What do you think spray painting St George flags does to make children safer? The flag campaign has absolutely nothing to do with patriotism, or about addressing male violence (many of those behind the campaign have violent criminal records themselves). It's about xenophobia, fear, and intimidation.

      The issue, with children starting school again, is that there is an unknown risk, and people want to know their children are safe, which they do not. You know all of this, I don’t need to attempt to outline the views for you as it’s widely available.  There is outrage at how some people are behaving. Did you not see women attacking a man being interviewed? As with all things, the actions of a few is damaging.

      What priority are asylum seekers being given over the community?  Whilst it's terrible that a girl has been assaulted, why are the criminal actions of an individual being seen as reason to attack a whole group of people? Many of those involved in the 'raise the colours' campaign have criminal histories, including domestic violence. Perhaps there should also be community outrage at that, instead of those people apparently being lionised as 'patriots'. There is a very clear attempt by the like of Farage etc. (who contributed significantly to the current 'crisis') to stir up unrest. The flag campaign has absolutely nothing to do with patriotism. I don't think anyone believes it does.

      All to do with the issues in Essex, with a child allegedly assaulted by and asylum seeker residing in a local hotel, ensuing community outrage, particularly with asylum seekers given priority over the community. The whole thing is toxic.
