Respectful new take on Emma is Austen powered
A new adaptation of 19th-century literary classic Emma is fresh, smart and a visual feast - even with the surprise bum flashes.
Graeme Virtue, The Big Issue, 14th February 2020Emma review
Full of charm, a welcome dose of humour and packed with a stellar cast, director Autumn de Wilde has brought Jane Austen's Emma back to life in a brand-new adaptation of the much-loved novel.
Olivia Hill, The Digital Fix, 13th February 2020Funny girls by Miranda Hart
As she brings Miss Bates, Jane Austen's wonderfully comic creation, to life on screen in Emma, Miranda explains why she is so grateful to the author for inspiring her, and for being the pioneer of so many comedians, from Joyce Grenfell to Victoria Wood.
Saga Magazine, 13th February 2020Review: Emma
A sumptuous Emma... and she looks like she's a bit of a handful.
Brian Viner, Daily Mail, 5th February 2020Emma review: An unexpectedly sexy Valentine's Day watch
Anya Taylor-Joy plays the aristocratic matchmaker Emma in this chocolate-box adaptation of Jane Austen's beloved novel.
Flora Carr, Radio Times, 5th February 2020The BBC just had to crack out one last turkey in the shape of Miranda: My Such Fun Celebration. This faux-nodded to Ms Hart's rise to splendid deserved glory, the subtlety and the lovely co-stars and the winning plea for not everyone to be a 5ft 10in beauty, without actually ever getting it. In front of the London Palladium, poor pratfalls and squawking and "galloping" and catchphrases and jokes about weight and class abounded, and it was sub-awful, and Miranda must be retching.
Euan Ferguson, The Guardian, 5th January 2020Miranda: My Such Fun Celebration review
Like a middle-class Mrs Brown's Boys, Miranda Hart's self-titled sitcom is usually considered a love-it-or-hate-it affair. And this ten-year Such Fun Celebration is only likely to entrench opinions.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 1st January 2020TV review: Miranda: My Such Fun Celebration, BBC One
Well why not celebrate your tenth birthday in public? That's how Miranda Hart marked the tenth birthday of her self-named BBC sitcom. In public. At the Palladium. With nibbles. In front of a packed house of screaming fans.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 1st January 2020Perhaps, like Miranda Hart, I'll be a life coach
This week Miranda Hart, the comedian and actress whose sitcom helped, she says, young women to conquer anxiety and depression "by believing that if Miranda could find love and accept herself then they could too", revealed that she has spent the past three years "researching the keys to wellbeing, taking courses and training to be a life coach". Good luck to her, of course, but if she plans to have clients, might they not find it discombobulating?
Deborah Ross, The Times, 12th December 2019Miranda Hart reveals she is training to be a life coach
The 46-year-old, who stepped back from the spotlight in 2015 following the success of her BBC comedy Miranda, credits the show with helping women overcome anxiety and depression.
