Miranda - Series 1-3 [DVD]

The box set was on a bargain price, shipping as described. I'm satisfied with a purchase, recommend!

All three series of Miranda, though missing the belated two episode finale. Starring Miranda Hart as the socially awkward lummox Miranda, part of the joy of this series is the continual breaking of the fourth wall as Miranda confides her real thoughts directly to the audience. Like a big child who has never grown up Miranda has a love-hate relationship with her as I call it mother Penny who is forever trying to fob Miranda off on whatever man would have her - such fun! Miranda runs a joke and novelty shop with store assistant manager and best friend Stevie, wonderfully portrayed by Sarah Hadland and their childish brinkmanship is a joy to behold, particularly when they resort to name calling which often quickly disintegrates to trading insults about their physical characteristics. Stevie is Miranda's childhood friend and the sort of shorthand language they use establishes this long-standing relationship well. Stevie is often just as half-soaked as Miranda, prone to the same level of silliness at times and the interface between these two characters is beautifully portrayed. The supporting characters too are all strongly written, with Miranda's lust for next door restaurant owner Gary and exasperation at posh friend Tilly, who still uses public school rhetoric as well as the always amusing 'bear with' catch phrase whenever distracted by her mobile phone.I like that this is eminently silly, often exaggerated and always strongly written. Laughs come often, usually at Miranda's expense. What is also clear is that Hart is a fabulous physical comedian, using her stature to excellent effect. This is a character that in some ways refuses to grow up but in others is desperate to and that dichotomy is one of the strengths of the writing. Miranda often finds herself in quite bizarre situations, and her frequent awkwardness as she tries to squirm her way out of yet another tight fix, wrapping herself in ever tighter knots is always a joy. One can suspect that some of this is an only slightly exaggerated version of Hart's real personality, so naturally does she portray the social awkwardness. This is a traditional British sitcom, there's nothing hugely groundbreaking here except the sheer excellence of it's cast and writing and the continued breach of the fourth wall which has since become a staple of the very different "Mrs Brown's Boys" and "Fleabag". Definitely on of the best the BBC has produced in the 21st Century.

As an American, I discovered Miranda Hart as a guest on the Graham Norton Show. Her humor is self-deprecating and quite hysterical. So, I kept waiting and waiting for her show to come to the U.S. When it didn't, I bought this DVD and I watched every episode multiple times because it's just so darn funny, I love the fact that she breaks the "fourth wall" and talks to the audience. I love her interactions with her mother. And I especially love her relationship with Gary. It's a wonderful comedy -- funny but also poignant and warm-hearted.

Miranda hart I love you I spent a week going through this laugh out loud box set I never laughed so much in ages such fun! I love the Miranda Gary storyline I hear there's only going to be two Christmas specials and that's the end of the show Noooooo but some shows do tend end at the 3rd series Little Britain being one. All good things come to a end I guess even at least I can relive it all on DVD. Also this box set is a great price many supermarkets selling for a few quid more get the best offer on Amazon and get laughing.

Love Miranda good clean fun, watched with all the family. However by time it got to series 3 the trips, slips and falls had probably become a little tiring, we certainly couldn't have done another series, but it is very funny nonetheless.

Nothing to dislike, arrived on time. Now looking forward to watching Miranda.

She is so full of fun and life! We miss so many great shows state side! Glad we found Miranda! Enjoying her humor and love of life!

Arrived fairly quickly. Brilliant series! Have been going through some serious health issues and this always cheered me up and made me laugh out loud. If you’re looking for sophisticated, cutting edge humour buy something else. If you want some life affirming, generous, self-depreciating, ‘we’ve all been there’ moments humour buythe set!Note: the final 2 episodes are on Miranda the Finale. Don’t miss!

I never found this show in a USA format so I had to buy the British version which meant I had to get a Region Free dvd player. Found this DVD set at a good price and the dvd player at a good price so I bought them both. It was worth it. I wish this show would have had a longer run. The writing is quick and sharp and funny.

DVDs arrived on time in excellent condition.

Die ganze Familie liebt sie, wir sehen uns immer wieder mal eine Folge an und lachen uns krumm. Wunderbar!

Serie spassosissima! Peccato che non ci fossero i sottotitoli in italiano, ho faticato un poco ma sapevo esattamente cosa stavo acquistando.

Recomendable100%! Lastima no tenga subtitulos en español! Pero igualmente es un no parar de reir!! Estas series tendrien que ser de vision obligatoria
