Miranda is back on. Shall we re-open the debate on how crap it is or not?

[remsby]

Can't bear it - it's not funny. Feel free to prove me wrong.

[whyme2]

Well I really enjoyed Rev but it took a couple of episodes before I really 'got' it. I really enjoyed it and would love to watch it again.

[MaryAnnSingleton]

Rev is fabulous !

[invicta]

My dcs (aged12 and10) love it as well. Also loved Rev. I've never found Ab Fab funny, and am usually bored by it.

[UnknownGnome]

That's true, Psammy. It's a bit Terry and June-ish. I remember watching those kinds of programmes when we were growing up. Harmless humour that all the family could enjoy. Terry and June, One Foot in the Grave, The Good Life, Ever Decreasing Circles, Home to Roost, Only Fools and Horses, Just Good Friends, Duty Free. Gosh, they're all coming back to me now!!

And I love Miranda. My kids are too young for it but recently my dh watched it and actually laughed!

[psammyad]

(Miranda that is, not Rev which I like but watch on my own as no-one else does.)

[psammyad]

Quite like watching it with DD (13), somehow reminds me of watching things like Terry & June with my mum. Good clean farce with a few mildly grotesque characters in a Surrey setting?

[Tryingtothinkofnewsnazzyname]

I watched one episode of Rev after reading gushing press and was utterly bored. Have filed under 'too subtle' unfunny

[out2lunch]

i like it - its silly humour you have to kind of go with it

[MrsFruitcake]

How can you dislike Rev? 'Fancy a festive blow-job?' is a bit of a catchphrase in my house now (not in front of the kids obviously though).

[fussychica]

Totally unfunny but then I hated REV which all the press loved.

[ToothyMcTooth]

Total garbage.

[Avalicious1980]

I hated it and then watched it by accident on a long haul flight, laughed (quietly) to myself all the way through it, and now I LOVE IT!!!

Mmmmmm Tom Ellis....yum yum!

[slartybartfast]

and tilly, love love tilly, fabulisimo

[slartybartfast]

oh i love it, i love all the characters. it is such a farce, love her mum, the polish cleaning coming down for the polish

[PropositionJoe]

Oh it does have really funny moments above the cringing. And at least it's clean, so you can watch it with the kids. That Christmas special with "the breast clap" had me howling.

[almapudden]

Oh I saw about five minutes of this and thought it was dire. She's awful! If she were a real person I wouldn't be seen in public with her.

[ripsishere]

I thought you meant a new series. DD loves this program me. I think it's the biggest pile of crap out there. Apart from Mrs Browns Boys.
IMO, Miranda is OK, it's the peripheral people. Mother, friends etc that get my back up.

[SuePurblybilt]

Cringy. But not the worst.
The dancing bit is Beyond the Pale though. Stop it now, please.

[noddyholder]

Awful predictable rubbish.

[Ilovewaleswhenitrains]

I'm glad I am not the only one who dosen't think Miranda is funny.

[Panzee]

I cannot stand it.

[SoupDragon]

I didn't think I'd like it and there is a fair bit of cringing but there are always occasions where I actually laugh out loud which is unusual for me.

And who cares if the Love Interest is deemed too good looking? Do attractive men really only ever go out with stick thin Barbies? Besides, I'd rather look at him than some character actor :o

[BeckAndCall]

I assumed it would be teenage humour as my DCs love it so much - but am watching it this time around and think it is 95% genius and 5% cringe.

[HecateHarshPants]

My sister made me sit through two episodes she had on record. I've seen clips of it and thought what utter SHIT and never bothered. So I was amazed that I actually laughed three whole times. I also spent at least 10 minutes with my fingers in my ears and a further 25 cringing my arse off. I even told her to bung the next episode on when I was next round there, and I had two occasions of laughter, 4 of cringing and 5 minutes where I exited the room.

It really is the most odd programme. Mostly cringy with unexpected showers of humour.

[MrsFruitcake]

I really like it - it does make me giggle a lot. But DH hates it, and Mrs Brown's Boys too, which I also think it very funny.
