It was absolutely shockingly and appallingly bad! I sat and watched it because I've heard some people say how funny it is, and yet every trailer I've ever seen only ever shows hapless Miranda falling over, or having her skirt ripped off by a departing taxi, or falling over again, or looking into camera and saying something blatantly predictable and devoid of humour - ALL of which has been done before very very much better than this person. I honestly and truly have NEVER EVER seen a so-called comedy that's so fundamentally unfunny. My partner said exactly the same. The last episode was so cringeful it left me incredulous and actually in discomfort - and I'm not exaggerating. Awful, stupid, predictable, farcical nonsense in which even the actors seemed to cringe at the painful lines they had to deliver in the name of comic gold - which was closer to FARSICAL BROWN! Does anyone on this planet, honestly, ever laugh at this programme? Titter, even? Surely no-one other than Miranda and Miranda's mum laughs out loud at anything in this. Some people are just funny. They have funny bones. They ooze comedy and one cannot help but find them endearing. Miranda Hart, bless her - because she clearly tries very hard - is simply not one of them. She doesn't look funny, move or gesture in any kind of amusing way, and she certainly does not say or write anything funny. Sorry, but she simply isn't comically amusing. Not remotely. Harold Shipman is funnier than Miranda, and frankly I'd rather watch a documentary conceived by him. And POOR POOR Patricia Hodge. She's a quality actress. Why on earth is she doing this contemptuous crap? She seems to get more rubbishy unamusing lines than anyone else - and that's saying something! Why has Miranda singled her out in this way? She must secretly hate her, or else genuinely believe that her script is funny. I do not believe the latter can be so! I really enjoyed Miranda in that lovely BBC midwifery drama. She was great. But, very very very very obviously she didn't write that. The writing of Miranda is shocking and lacking in every way, and this latest episode genuinely stunned me to the core with its shitliness (technical filmy term) and general overall bollocksness of script!!!! I seriously defy YOU to watch the last episode of Miranda and LAUGH one single time. F**k my old boots! I'm so incensed by this insulting drivel that was a good deal less funny than syphilis, that I felt compelled to spew out my outrage here. Perhaps Miranda was only given 4 minutes to write the episode, for some reason. That might explain it. What did you make of it? Sitcom? Shitcom is surely nearer the truth! Ta GB

No,...actually it's the right place I guess :)...that's interesting....I mean isn't it annoying when you see a promotion for a show ( maybe an interview with a video director) and then the content is so different from what they've promised ? I call it a sheer fraud !
