Miranda says good bye

It has been a pleasure and thank you so much for watching and being interested. It means a hell of a lot. This profession is insecure breeding enough but putting a show out there with your name in the title, and playing 'yourself', was always going to be a risk, so I am grateful for anyone who stuck by it. Thank you.
As you will see in this episode I leave a little bit of a cliff hanger in terms of my story line with Gary (Tom Ellis). Here's hoping I get a chance to write more episodes and finish the story, but if I don't, it has been a real joy and experience to have done the one series. To get my own show on the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ is literally a dream come true - I know - ah!
This episode all started with me walking down a ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ corridor fed up that I couldn't think of anything funny that day and then I had an image of Stevie walking in to the shop with a massive Great Dane saying 'sorry I'm late'. It amused me and I found a way to get it in. Hope you think it was worth it!
Time to say good bye. Good bye. Come on, no tears.Ìý
The first series of Miranda (the sitcom) finishes tonight at 8.30pm on ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Two. Read more from Miranda (the lady) about each episode here on the Comedy Blog.
Miranda Hart will be hosting a very silly round-up of the year this Christmas.

Thank you for six weeks of laughs and chuckles. Looking forward to wherever you turn up next.
Dear ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ,
Okay, so it's not earth-shattering, it's not massively worthy, and it's not ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖThree material. Thank [insert your chosen deity here] for small mercies!
Please add this comment to the "more, please" pile.

There has to be another series as Miranda and Gary simply have to get together. And I need another fix of a great comedy.
More of the same, please and the series could run and run, even with Miranda and Gary together. Their wedding reception would be so funny and imagine what they'd be like married with children!
Such fun.

But more than all these - a second series is mandatory...we are bereft, black armbands are already adorned and we have closed the curtains in respect.
Thank you for a fab 6 weeks of laughter - it's been an absolute joy.

Oh you are so so funny and I love the falling over (don't listen to the stuffy radio times) great timing, plus your relationship with Gary has the making of a real Ross and Rachel - I love it - it's the best romance on TV (I loved the violent cookery session). Please come back for more - who do we have to write to?
Thanks Miranda - you bought me (and all my girlfriends - we had Miranda nights) six weeks of serious aching sides.
Happy Christmas :)

I can't stand cliffhangers though so there has to be a second series!!! We have to see Miranda and Gary get together!
Thanks for the comedy, Miranda, it was worth all your efforts.

Its been such a great series- a comedy that laughs at things that havent really been laughed at in previous comedies. My favorite comedy, ever! The programs are so love-able, and will be very much missed by my mum and I.
All the best to all of the cast,
and thank you so much! :)

Please can we have another series?
PS you have a good chance of a gong at next years comedy awards, especially as the rival show 'Big Top' was dismissed as totally unfunny by Ted Robbins on his Radio Lancashire show last week.

I enjoy many of the programmes that you put on the television. Especially Miranda. Miranda is a show that is funny on so many different levels and it really makes me sad to think it won't be on telly anymore. I would even be willing to protest and shun the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ to get it back on the air. There are other great shows on the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ, but none that come close to the splendour that is Miranda. BRING IT BACK!
Thanks,

If Miranda doesn't do another series at least we know we'll be seeing more of her. Hyperdrive was rubbish which was a great shame given the talent of Miranda and Nick Frost. This has secured her continued presence.
I see touches of Victoria Wood, Jennifer Saunders and Frankie Howard. More!

So Miranda, thank you so much for giving us so much joy in so little time. I will be holding my breath until next time. This is not farewell but simply good bye!

How could you do this to us!!! Don't let Gary go! Don't leave us this way!! Over and over I watch on iPlayer just thinking maybe THIS time . . . And WHY might I ask is there no Christmas special?!?!?! I don't know if I should admit this on a blog comment, but a group of us (all girls and my best friend's husband who is also a huge fan) get together to watch on a Monday night! I admit it, we're all a bit weird, but still, what are we going to watch now?!?!! Funniest thing in a long time, so thank you for giving us some very much needed cheering up!
Seriously though, you have to have a second (third, fourth . . . ??) series, they have to be more than 6 episodes long and you have to keep the entire cast! Brilliant, just brilliant! If the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ don't recomission this then I'm getting rid of my TV!!! Hurry back! Please!!
A be in tow! (they won't allow me to post in French so this will have to do!)
Happy Christmas!!!

You have no idea just how devastated I am that your sitcom has finished. I truly loved it sooooooooooooooo much. I really wish there had been a christmas special to look forward to. You are a brilliant writer and comic. I can't remember when I have laughed so much. I have watched all six episodes several times and continue to laugh out loud. Congratulations on getting the go ahead for a second series. I can't wait until the end of 2010 though!!! Do you think you could maybe write and Easter special gto keep all your avid fans going. Thank you please very much!
Regards Nell
ps All the family keep saying "Such fun." Have a great Christmas. Look forward to seeing your new series.

My sister and I are completely hooked and we've even started to quote lines from episodes to each other without realising it, which is a sure sign of a good comedy if ever there was one.... The mad hilarity of the story lines and quality of acting have been a pure joy to watch and we're really delighted to hear you've been given a second series. Can't wait; such fun!

Thanks for bringing the magic back to sitcom Miranda & for brightening our Monday nights.
I haven't laughed so much since Alan Partridge lived in the Linton Travel Tavern. (I particularly loved you trying to climb into the trouser press, hilarious!)
I think there will be a comedy award with your name on it next year. You are a breathe of fresh air xxx

Miranda has taught me once again how funny people falling over can be! It's original without being self-consciously wacky, clever without being smug and above all instead of that rubbishy "edginess" it has warmth aplenty. A joyous experience - I thought comedy like this was gone for good.
