Could she be the new female Lee Evans?

She doesn't sweat enough.

She's gonna need to lose some weight for sure! Plus of course Lee Evans is quite funny and 'this' is an anagram of what I think this series pretty much is.

Miranda Hart really isn't fat. She may not be disgustingly Paris Hilton thin, but she's not fat, just very tall. Distorts the perspective and gives the fat illusion.

It really is fairly depressing to still see comments being made about Miranda Hart's looks/size this far into the run. Please someone tell me why this continues to be such a major issue? Sure, Miranda's appearance is played for quite a few laughs in the sitcom, but I'm astonished that this thread still occasionally reads as though it's fallen off the 'Heat'/'Loaded' website. :(

Some people are twats Tim, you meet them in the pub and sure enough you meet them here. Is all.

To be fair, I was occasionally the biggest twat in the pub... Errr

As the cliche goes though, "I'm not so much angry as disappointed" on this issue. Come on, we're better than this, chaps, aren't we? ;)

I bet you weren't and also don't be disappointed, people who are sophisticated and intelligent like Miranda - the others are just frustrated and jealous I reckon :)

Miranda may be sophisticated and intelligent outside of 'Miranda' however the series is full of cliched stereotypes [mother wants to marry her off/friends are all well off shallow women who are really terribly terribly shallow-I could go on) and wait for it, not funny! As for her physical attributes. She uses it as a comedy vehicle I didn't realise that it was exclusive. I suggest some people get off their high horse and come back to Earth where they will be welcomed with an anal probe (if they're lucky).

You may be? Your little dig at my physical reference to Miranda sounded high horse-ish (is that a word?) But like I said nothing she doesn't throw out their herself and pretty bloody tame in my opinion. And uncalled for. But tis a free world.

Apologies if I've upset the apple-cart, Roscoff, my comments weren't particularly directed at you in the slightest. It's more the general tone of the thread as a whole, which seems to keep coming back to Ms Hart's appearance. Wasn't meant to be a dig at anyone specifically. Sorry for any misunderstanding or offence. ;)
