    ^ Another celebrity edition of that show would be a good excuse for her to rattle on about her divorce and, of course, weight!

    Miranda Hart.
    For reasons beyond my ken,both women
    imagine themselves to be somehow hilarious.
    Baffled!

    i am baffled too but I really like Miranda Hart in Call the Midwife. She is great as a drama actress, I think that is her forte, not comedy.

    She seems to be everywhere just now.

    It's not even "just now" - she's been forced in our faces like this since around 2010!!! It's absolutely crazy. I still don't understand how she's become this runaway success, nor do I understand the media's obsession with her. Although I suspect the BBC probably like her 'cause she fills an equality quota or two. ;) But there really isn't any excuse for this level of overexposure when she's so one note.

    I know we all have different tastes but I don't know how anyone can find her funny. I hate vulgar/too much information style humour and I avoid it like the plague, but with the way SM is thrust at us constantly it's really hard to not catch sight and sound of her now and then. :mad:

    Is she really a runaway success though? I don't think she is on the same level as Peter Kay or Michael McIntyre in the success stakes and I don't know anyone who would go out and buy her DVDs or buy a ticket to go and see her on stage(although there must be one or two folk out there :confused:) I think you may be right about the equality thing as I can think of no other reason why we are saturated with her on TV. She is a comedy bore.

    The show is part of a scheduled series, she didn't just pop up to annoy you.

    Don't you understand the concept of TV or did you just want to contribute an inane comment ?

    It would be a bit odd if she didn't feature in her own programme.
    It beats me why anyone who seeks to avoid her would tune into a programme with her name in the title. It's just backward.

    I've seen her live and me and her had a bit of a chat. While I think she stole my thunder seeing as I am a plump Geordie with glasses (and contacts) and am pretty rude I actually think she's a nice enough lass. Her TV show is tripe like and she's rammed down our throats on telly. I know you have to make your money while you can and everyone has a shelf life but there is a fine line between making the most of it and milking it and she has taken a huge step across that line. I find myself avoiding things she's on because to be honest I've heard it all before. Ross Noble I'd watch loads though - he is bordering on the insane at times and is different rather than me Mam, me boyfriend, me cat and me fanny.

    Is that the Geordie version of The Cook, the Thief, His Wife and Her Lover? :eek:

    When the announcer warns at the beginning about strong language on Sarah Millican's show, they probably mean from all the posters on here, effing and blinding because she's on TV yet again!

    Seems "grumpy" has a hard time taking a "hint"... or, rather, a hard time comprehending the starkest, simplest things. :D

    ...

    Still, it's not as if this thread is about anything other than warning others about Sneaky Sarah. It's not some low bile-bilge depository! How very dare you! (as the "other" "other one" says).

    The BBC do seem to be obsessed with shoe-horning celebs in to most programs.

    Let's hope nothing goes horribly wrong ;)

    Isn't this a repeat? I'm sure she was on this a year or two ago. Was Simon Pegg on it tonight?

    According to the TV listings magazine in my paper today the Millican thing will be on Charlie Brooker's Weekly Wipe next Thursday. fingers on the fast forward button during her segment I think.
