Miranda - BBC2

[imnotaceleb]

Just watched the first episode and it was really funny

Ep 2 on tonight.

I loved it too. It was really LOL funny. I am so pleased that we can watch it again and again on the iplayer. I couldn't believe how good it was. The actress who plays Miranda is superb. Her deadpan expression is brilliant.

It's about the actress who plays the lead part - semi-autobiographical.

Sounds bizarre but it's about an incredibly tall woman (Miranda) who (repeatedly) gets mistaken for a man. She owns a joke shop and has no luck in lurve Her mother is a nightmare and her crush from schooldays has just got a job as the chef in the restaurant next door. Try it - I really thought it was on of the best comedies I've ever seen.

Its about me! im sure of it.

the bit where the man atthe tranny shop assumes she's a man, the way she talks about big and long shops etc

it's the life i would have if i were single and childless.
god its so funny its almost depressing

I really laughed at it, I think because I can sort of identify with it.

I'm tall and was always terrified of being mistaken for a bloke or a tranny.

The bit in the wedding dress shop and the baby stuff in her flat had me pmsl!

I enjoyed this last night too! Even DH was laughing out loud (tho he denied doing so!). I love her asides to camera!

Oh good - I did a thread about this after watching last week's episode and there were quite a few people who didn't like it at all.

Good to see so many good female comedians/actors working together without it being a sketch show. Love the end credits too. It's cheesy but just had me laughing out loud.

I also have that self-recognition Mamazon- when she came back from the "transformations" shop looking like a transvestite (although I am not that tall!) - just the whole mystification at the wedding stuff and trying on dresses etc. I laughed at the part when she brought that man back to her flat and it was filled with baby stuff - could see it coming but still very funny

I look forward to watching some more.

I watched this in iplayer, will watch second tonight, it's really not the sort of thing I like but I thought it was brilliant. I have seen teh actress in a few things and have always thought she is better than the bit part/supporting part she always gets.

Loved the 'I'm a ten....ty'
'Yes, I think we have something in a tenty'

Just happened to watch this accidentally last night (cannot move from sofa syndrome).

Thought it was fab.

The one that plays Miranda is great. I didn't think I would like it but the looking to camera bits do make me laugh.

Afraid I don't like the little blonde flatmate one with the silly faces, but Miranda is fab.

liked second one too, made me lol as well. not alot does really. i'm quite sour

she's a bit frankie howerd

dh laughed like a drain, I didn't

Unusual for him. It just felt really predictable and the jokes were too obvious and forced.

I thought it might be too 'American humour' as they do those autobiographical comedies alot over there. But it was very funny i thought esp her aside to the camera (about gymnastics etc.).

The little blonde one is very funny in this

i liked it...

quite funny

Just catching up with this now - love it . Especially the embracing the corniness with the end credits

i liked her mum...the way she whispers words like... racist..

ha ha

Loved it! I am also v tall so sympathised.

LOL Jackbauer the shop owner in that scene is my friend. I also enjoyed this. went to the filming of the first episode and met the rather gorgeous Tom Ellis (swoon)

For me it's pleasantish but not laugh out loud funny.

Oh come on, it is utter rubbish. I had to turn off after 5 minutes. I am surprised so many people enjoyed it.

if you only gave it 5 minutes surely you can't judge it properly

Sometimes 5 minutes is enough. I caught a but of this week's episode too and it made me cringe. All the slapstick with the pasta sauce.

I like it. Thanksfor the link Boneyard I've be trying to think where I've seen her before
