New exhibit shows archive pictures of BBC comedians

Compton Verney exhibition charts 60 years of comedy, from Hancock's Half Hour to Miranda Hart.

Tom Ellis ponders bringing back Miranda

"We would love to revisit them at some point," Ellis tells RadioTimes.com, whether that be "the possibility of doing the movie, or a special, or something like that. Obviously we bookended the series quite nicely and I think where do we go from here in terms of their story and the idea of them in their married life with children is something we'd like to explore."

A triple bill from the queen of affable slapstick. This binge includes the episode in which Miranda's plan to take French classes backfires when she runs into a loathed former teacher, played by Peter Davison - whose occasional TV appearances are a reminder of his exemplary timing. It also includes the one with the Officer and a Gentleman ending and the usual sterling support from Sarah Hadland, Sally Phillips and Patricia Hodge.

Miranda Hart is considering a Miranda film

Hart's co-star Sarah Hadland reveals that the Miranda creator is "thinking about" a future movie.

Miranda Hart on the possibility of more 'Miranda'

It's been nearly six months since we bid farewell to the happy couple - but don't give up hope on a return for the BBC One sitcom just yet.

Miranda, a review

To call the character Miranda (Miranda Hart) hapless is a cliched understatement. She is not only clumsy and inappropriate, but she walks that treacherous line between awkward and too social for her own good.

Sarah Hadland: I want to do a Miranda film

Sarah Hadland recently hinted that she and Miranda Hart planned to reunite - and now she's revealed that their BBC One sitcom might be getting a big screen outing. "I'm hopeful that we will do a film," she told chat show host Alan Carr.

So, 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.

A mostly spoiler-free look at the Miranda finale

I'll admit I shed a few tears at the end, both joyful and melancholy.
