Penny: So, tonight at…
Miranda: No, I can’t tonight, I’ve got plans. An art class. I do things!
Penny: Miranda, the last time you went out after 9 o’clock was when you forgot to put the bin’s out!

I first saw Miranda earlier this year. It’s so silly but incredibly funny! Love at first watch
It is such a feel-good show. How far into it are you? Don’t want to give away any spoilers.
Don’t really follow it yet. Only seen a few episodes here and there
I hope you get to see more 🙂
Classic
Always a worse put down when it comes from your mum haha.
Ha ha ha! Love it 🙂
Which other British sitcoms do you enjoy Alex? 🙂
Blackadder, Father Ted (okay, it’s Irish), Fawlty Towers, Coupling, Spaced, Not Going Out. Feel free to recommend any you think I’ve missed. Oh, and this gem 🙂

You star! What excellent choices, your list mirrors my own 🙂 I LOVE the Father Ted Christmas episode where they get lost in the lingerie department ha ha! Spaced and Blackadder are two big favourites as well and I love Lee Mack and Tim Vine!!! (Not Going Out!!!)
Will check this other post out 🙂
I love Father Ted. I remember someone described the premise to me when it came out, and it sounded so ridiculous I just had to check it out. Lee Mack and Tim Vine’s stand out is amazing. Spaced is the definitive cult comedy. Blackadder has the best sitcom ending ever. I won’t swamp you with links, but you’ll find all of them here if you wanted to check some of them out https://alexraphael.wordpress.com/television/
Thanks Alex 🙂 I never mind being swamped with cool links!
I love Father Ted too 🙂 one of those rare comedies that still makes me laugh out loud even after years of watching! I think the Eurovision episode is my favourite ever but I love all of them. “that money was just resting in my account!”
I ADORE Tim Vine and I guess it was because of him that I started to get into Lee Mack’s work as well, they’re both hilarious! And totally agree with your thoughts on Spaced and Blackadder. I saw a random episode of Spaced the other night in fact and Paul Kaye was in it! (and David Walliams!) I love seeing people I recognise in old TV shows and films 🙂
Ricky Gervais is in the first episode. Can you believe it? I had no idea David Walliams and Paul Kaye were in it. Well spotted! My favourite Tim Vine joke is when he says he rang up BT to complain about a nuisance caller and they replied “Not you again!”
I’ve got them all on DVD so I will have to re-watch! I can’t remember seeing Ricky Gervais!! Ha ha ha! That Tim Vine joke is SO…Tim Vine!!!
My favourite is “Morris dancers, ring any bells?” I saw him in pantomime once and he did drop a few puns but I’d love to see him do live stand-up 🙂
Almost part of his contract haha. That one is hilarious too.
If “bin” means what I think it means, Alex, the synchronicity with our posts today is AMAZING.
Spooky! Also Synchronicity by The Police has one of my all-time favourite songs, Every Breath You Take.
I love Miranda Hart.
I don’t think there’s another character like her in comedy. Her jokes at her expense are hilarious. Her nickname is “Queen Kong” and in the first episode she gets called “Sir” haha. Not to mention all the physical comedy!
She really knows how to make people laugh.
