Trivia / Miranda (2009)

• Actor Allusion:
  • In the season 1 episode "Job", Miranda claims to be an excellent actress, before looking down the barrel of the camera lens with a grin.
  • From the Comic Relief episodes: "Comic Relief is a big TV night. It's the night comedians ruin their careers." (Aside Glance)
• Channel Hop: Moved from BBC One to BBC Two for its third season onwards.
• 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.

• What Could Have Been: Miranda Hart originally tried to get '70s sitcom star Penelope Keith (To the Manor Born, The Good Life) to play her mum, Penny, but she turned it down. She apparently also floated the idea of having Ronnie Corbett as her dad.
