Mandy season 3: Release date, cast, plot and trailer
Mandy Carter is returning for a third run.
TV's most disaster-prone, work-shy, squinty-mouthed woman Mandy Carter returns to our screens for the third season of the aptly named BBC comedy Mandy.
Speaking about her favourite episodes this season, creator, writer and star Diane Morgan said: "There's three I like equally – the first episode, Destination: Dundee, is great because it feels quite filmic and it was lovely to work with Paul Ready from Motherland again, and he's really great in it.
"Episode 5, Nandy, because I liked playing Mandy's nan, which was fun, and there's some puppets in it, so that was a bit different.
"And the final episode, because it's got a lot of visual moments in it that I always enjoy. It's very dramatic, and it's got a musical finale, and who doesn't like that. One of my favourite bits in it is where I have a party hat on – that's probably my favourite bit of the whole series, but it won't be anyone else's."

Mandy season 3 plot: What will happen?
"The nation's hero of the zero-hours economy Mandy returns for another series of micro-aggressive adventures, in which she battles her own personal cost-of-living crisis in a number of short-lived, ill-thought-through and poorly-paid jobs," reads the official synopsis.
Speaking about how she comes up with the many, many ideas explored in the series, Morgan said: "Sometimes it's things you see or do. The other day I was in a woman's changing room with my jeans round my ankles and I slightly lost my balance, and I thought – wouldn't it be dreadful if I held on to the curtain and pulled it down and exposed myself to the shop.
"It's sort of catastrophising. I saw that clip of the woman being pulled up by shop shutters and I was jealous because nothing will be as funny as that."
