Any thoughts that the third series would expose a lack of ideas or run out of energy have been swiftly elbowed into a pile of cardboard boxes. Miranda Hart has been on fighting form, and re-creates the mother-and-daughter two-hander that worked so well when the pair attended a psychiatric assessment.
This time Miranda is gritting her teeth as she tends to a sick, pedantic Penny (“And when I say a fresh towel I don’t mean Febrezed and flapped outside the window”). But it’s not long before the boot is on the other foot.
We’ve missed Miranda’s dad and camp Clive this series, but the remaining cast have kept the laughs flooding in.
About this programme
4/6. Penny falls ill so Miranda takes care of her in her flat, but after five days - five very long days - the shop owner begins to think about the things she regrets in life. Unfortunately, she ends up under the weather herself - and best friends Stevie, Gary and Tilly aren't exactly sympathetic. Comedy, starring Miranda Hart.
