British Comedy Guide, 30th June 2021Three things make me laugh: It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia, South Park and now Miranda, a new comedy for BBC2 starring Miranda Hart. Boy, she's a big lass... and funny. And I don't mean whimsical, wry, dark or clever, I mean fart gags, chocolate willies and ludicrous set-ups that deliver great visual gags! It's all rather old-fashioned, right down to the It Ain't Half Hot Mum credits, but I laughed, out loud, a lot. Nice.
