Miranda Hart joins charity Gallopathon for Comic Relief
Miranda Hart surprised some of her biggest fans by turning up to join them for a mile-long 'Gallopathon' - such fun!
Susannah Alexander, Digital Spy, 9th March 2015Why don't female standups crack more puns?
It may be Miranda Hart's catchphrase, but 'pun intended' doesn't seem to be the case for many female comedians.
Viv Groskop, The Observer, 18th January 2015Miranda Hart makes her Hollywood debut in 'Spy'
Hart appears in new espionage comedy Spy as the best friend of Melissa McCarthy's Susan Cooper, a dissatisfied CIA analyst who has to step up to the plate and prevent a nuclear disaster when all other secret agents are compromised.
Huw Fullerton, Radio Times, 13th January 2015So, Miranda's over, and leaves us in a fine tradition - Fawlty Towers, The Office - of going on just long enough and no longer, and creating a newly Hollywood-bound personality. Some fusspot critics adopted airs of frenetic postmodern sophistication towards what was, after all, a comedy show. I loved it, every bit, not least for allowing me to finally "get" - albeit only a bit - slapstick. I especially loved it for every reason the detractors resented: its retro nature, its channelling of Eric Morecambe (she even managed, along with his trademark deadpans to camera, to slap Stevie's cheeks) and its big, warm, sexy lunk of a star.
It ended rightly on a high (she married Gary, needless to say) and included bits of girly fun (meh), sharp observation (yay!) and, actually, a twitch more seriousness than has been usual. "That is not being a child," she says at one stage, grown strangely grave. "Sometime the world just needs to be... jollied." Indeed it does, and I raise my glass to Miranda Hart, producer Sarah Fraser, director Mandie Fletcher and all the other splendid women involved: 2015 deserves to be their brilliant year.

Ellie Walker-Arnott, Radio Times, 1st January 2015Miranda: 'all the humour and joy we could have wanted'
Aw, such (terrific) fun. As the curtain fell for the last time, our lovably galumphing comedy heroine Miranda (Miranda Hart) really did get the fairytale ending that she - and we the audience - always wanted. Making for not only a triumph but a very welcome surprise.
