Miranda Hart

Miranda turns the wish to behave appropriately into physical and verbal chaos around a joke shop, friendships and romance. Hart's performance makes a failed attempt at sophistication as important as a fall or a badly chosen word. Begin with the first series to see the character's relationship with the audience develop. The embarrassment is softened by her willingness to share it, so viewers can recognise the pressure to fit in without needing to treat the character as a model of the performer's private life.
