History Series / Miranda2009

* {{O.O.C. Is Serious Business}}: Miranda's friends and mother are all in total shock and show serious concern when she offers a snack that she "forgot to eat" as well as when she goes against her natural instinct of pushing Stevie down and actually eats one of her fruit friends in the {{Grand Finale}}.

* MouthingTheProfanity: This is a recurring gag for Miranda, who will especially mouth "sex", "breasts", and "moist". This is then played with when Miranda's mum (it all runs in the family) does something similar, but mouths the innocent words around the profanity instead, notably in such an embarrassing way as: "I'd say she was company, but [''whispered''] [-she looks like-] [''shouted''] a HOOKER!"

* {{Flanderization}}: Miranda started off as a hilariously clumsy and socially awkward character, whose social mishaps were mostly natural. However by the third series she is deliberately going out her way to be anti-social, sociopathic and cause trouble as a way to appear funny, even when there's no real call for it, including damaging property/items on purpose, such as hitting wine glasses with a tennis racket at her mother's tennis social, as well as cutting a boy's earphones off on the train, and getting right in a yoga instructor's face. This applies for other characters too, such as Gary appearing to make her jealous, whereas previously he was more considerate, with all the characters overall being far more over the top with the behaviours.

* {{Flanderization}}: The third series appears to go downhill after what was a very strong first and second series, with a lot of the jokes coming across too desperate and over the top, as well as the behaviour of characters.

The series ran for three seasons and a two-part finale special, ending with Miranda and Gary [[TheyDo finally getting married]]. At the height of its popularity, it became one of the few shows to [[ChannelHop jump from]] BBC Two to BBC One, and received new attention from American viewers when it began streaming on Creator/{{Hulu}} in the US.

* {{Alpha Bitch}}: Tilly among her friend group of Miranda and Fanny.
** Stinke Von Tusse, the woman who was Head Girl at Miranda’s Boarding School when they were teenagers seems to have been this, and still is when she meets Tilly and Miranda again.
* {{Ambiguously Bi}}: Penny has an active sex life with her husband, Charles, much to the horror and disgust of Miranda. Though she also mentions that she and her best friend (and worst enemy) Belinda "Belinda and I had a fun time at school,” when Miranda pretends to be a Lesbian to avoid marriage to wealthy, eccentric country men.
** Stevie agrees to pretend to be a Lesbian with Miranda so they can get married and then Miranda can live life without Penny trying to pressure her into marriage. However, Stevie gets very into character and becomes offended when Miranda reminds her that they aren’t actually in love or about to get married, they are just going to fake love. Stevie’s obsession with Heather Small, even cutting out her head from a cardboard model of her, could be seen as this.
** Gary is of course Miranda’s love interest. Like her, he’s from a rich background with a mother constantly trying to get him married. Gary has a mutual crush on Miranda, but when the attractive Doctor comes he seems taken with him like the girls.

* {{Beta Bitch}}: Fanny is this to Tilly. Fanny was supposed to be a Series Regular for Series Two, but her actress couldn’t be this because she had to return to another series. During the final episode of Series One, when Tilly becomes half-naked accidentally at a party, Fanny is mortified and rushes off. Seeing as she doesn’t appear again, it’s most likely Fanny ended her friendship with Tilly.

* SlapstickKnowsNoGender; a lot of the sight gags revolve around "Queen Kong", ie the six-foot tall Miranda among petite family and friends, or else Miranda getting into increasingly unflattering situations and embarrassing physical comedy often resulting in her outer clothing being torn off. A recurring gag involves Miranda wittingly or unknowingly swiping her tiny friend Stevie so hard she is bowled over.

* {{Corpsing}}: In the first episode of season two, Penny briefly adopts a Polish accent to pretend to be Miranda's housekeeper in order to help her daughter impress Danny, the new American chef working at the restaurant. You can hear in Patricia Hodges' voice that she's trying REALLY hard not to laugh.

* ItsPronouncedTroPAY: Listen to Penny saying "Lady Gaga". Or "Lady Guh-GAAH", as she puts it.

* HeightAngst: Miranda sometimes displays this concerning awkwardly towering over just about everyone else in the cast. It doesn't help that her mother is a petite five-foot-two and her best friend Stevie would struggle to break five foot tall. She also has gloomy bouts of NoGuyWantsAnAmazon.

* LadyLooksLikeADude: PlayedForLaughs on several occasions. It's a running joke of the series that Miranda is mistaken for a man, especially due to her height and small chest.

* ClothingDamage: Miranda seems to end up in her underwear at some point in several episodes.

* BottleEpisode: Series 2 Episode 5 takes place entirely in one room.

In 2020, ''Series/CallMeKat'', an [[ForeignRemake an American counterpart]], premiered on Creator/{{FOX}}. Hart is a producer of this remake alongside ''Series/TheBigBangTheory'' star Creator/JimParsons.
