Miranda: Series 2 (2010)

Rounding out 2010 was the second series of Miranda, the old-fashioned sitcom that is just so inexplicably laugh-out-loud funny. Miranda's relationship with Gary almost moved to the next level, but they didn't actually get round to sleeping with each other, as Miranda found out he'd married a girl for a green card. 

There was a fantastic bottle show starring just Miranda and her frightful mother (Patricia Hodge) in a psychiatrist's office. Although the episode slightly wasted the peerless Mark Heap in the guest star role of psychiatrist, Hart and Hodge proved to be a wacky, neurotic, down-right hilarious twosome. The lack of plot (although there's never really much of one) let the comedy have free rein. 

It's uncool to lack such studio-based comedy, but I love the catch phrases: 'Such fun!', 'Bear with, bear with, bear with', '... are we?', 'What I call...' and my favourite, Stevie's Heather Small mask asking 'What have you done today, to make you feel proud?' The best moment of this series was the cut-away gag (very much like you'd find in Family Guy) of Stevie and Miranda playing Where's Miranda? featuring Hart dressed as Wally. Marvellous.

 I'll also mention 2010 Unwrapped with Miranda Hart, which was alright when Hart was on screen, but the rest of the made up/doctored footage was ho hum. I don't know if I'll bother with 2011 Unwrapped, should there be one. I look forward to series 3 of Miranda though!
