Its potential is imo, to make the audience think "Oh, I hope she won't do anything stupid...please, don't look at the toupé...nothing happened yet...nearly done...she'll succeed" until near the end something happens nonetheless. But this potential doesn't get used because Miranda and her friends stampede in like a herd of elephants on ecstasy from second 1 on.
Well some of that did happen - they didn't go straight into the toupée, for example - but again, that's not the style of the show. It played perfectly in the style it has established for itself to work in. You seem to want it to run in some awful arse-achingly cringeworthy, comedy-of-embarrassment Peep Show-esque vein.
