Appalling programme. I understand that the first series was co-written with an ex-girlfriend of hers, hence it being better than the 2nd series. The ex wasn't credited. Someone involved in the production of the first series told me this.

Agree, have really tried with this but it must be me. I just dont get her.:(

Well, there's a reliable source if ever I heard one.

This week we learnt that the tune to this years laugh is 'poker face' by lady gaga. Does anyone remember what the tune to Miranda's mum's laugh was last year?
Well that's me banged to rights by the naysayers...
I love Miranda.........and this must really get up their noses...I also like The Office, Curb, Big Bang Theory etc....But you know what is exceptionally treacherous of me? I don't see what the fuss is about Morcambe and Wise!! All i seem to see of them is silly slapstick sketches....hardly the 'cutting' edge comedy people hold it up to be. I appreciate they had their time and place in comedy history. I do feel if they were fresh out in 2010 the very same people hammering Miranda would say the same thing about them. Dull, predictable, silly...etc etc etc

Who cares about weather it's 'old fashioned' or not.
(i.e it's not another copy of Curb Your Enthusiasm or The Office.)
I find it very and entertaining and funny, and that's all that matters to me.
Some sketch shows are brilliant - and some are rubbish.
Some post modern comedy is great - and some is boring and pretentious.
Some stand-up comedians are hilarious - while others are unfunny and annoying.
It ain't the format that matters - it's how funny it is that matters.

I'll forgive you, just this once.
I don't think Morcambe and Wise were ever considered "cutting edge"..I'm not even sure the term was around in their day ? They were just great family entertainment, with the emphasis on "family". I suppose they may have pioneered the idea of the big name guest coming on and doing something completely different to their normal routine. They are just remembered very fondly, I'm sure Miranda will arouse the same nostalgic memories in years to come,

I agree with you....just old fashioned family fun. But because they were the first they're held in much higher esteem. I doubt Miranda will be widely remembered....suppose i'll just enjoy it while it's on.
Watched it last night on Catch-Up. Loved it! I love its simplicity. I don't think it's trying to be clever or cool. It's just silly and funny, with likeable characters.
Loved Episode 2 and thought it was a hilarious improvement on the first episode with the funeral, care home and library scenes. Weird about the repeat not being on tonight though Still, it's the funniest thing on tv at the minute by what I call a country mile.
The show is basically Miranda making a tit of herself constantly, but somehow it works. I love it!
This^^^^^^^ it shouldn't work but it does, i can also see how some people dont get it but for me it's one of the only programmes that really makes me LOL and i dont really know why.
I love this because it is not unkind, just gentle poking fun at oneself and others' foibles.
Don't get me wrong, I do like edgy comedy as well, but sometimes, it is really lovely to sit and laugh out loud at plain silliness - but plain silliness that is very well written.

None are true for me. Can't people understand comedy is SUBJECTIVE

Apparantly the repeat turned up last night at 10pm unannounced.
And last week's repeat turned up on Wednesday at 7.30 also unannounced.
The BBC may be piloting a new idea where they don't reveal their schedule beforehand. We all have to tune in at any time for a surprise.:rolleyes:
thanks for that
Well written and with a fantastic cast.
Loved this week's ep with the library scene. So funny and where she punched the vicar.
