Miranda Hart 'madcap' Red Nose Day challenges

Miranda Hart will be attempting a series of "madcap challenges" for Comic Relief.

Midwinter Mondays have been fluffed up considerably for the past six weeks, but make the most of Miranda Hart's vegetepals and aghast looks to camera, because this is the last in the present series.

Our lanky protagonist is a bit down after last week's spat with Gary (Tom Ellis) and her inability to resolve her feelings for Mike (Bo Poraj), so she's bought six kittens to cheer herself up. The prospect of her parents renewing their vows and Tilly's surprise boyfriend (an old face from the show) do little to lift Miranda's spirits, so it's time for a big life decision.

This third series, which has turned procrastination into an art form, was given a real boost by the channel switch from BBC2: around 7 million now watch it as opposed to 3 million for the first series. The US-style audience involvement really shouldn't work but does, and the high laugh count over half an hour is, as Tilly would say, "totes amazeballs". No word as RT went to press on a fourth series... but let's just say the door is open.

NTA: Miranda Hart wins best drama performance

Comedian Miranda Hart beat Karen Gillian, Suranne Jones and Sheridan Smith to the prize for her performance in Call the Midwife.

Miranda fans delighted by Gary Barlow cameo

Miranda's latest episode was marked by more 'eeeeee'-ing and 'yaaaaaay'-ing than usual on Twitter, thanks to a guest appearance from Take That's Gary Barlow who was seen sharing a kiss with Miranda Hart.

Miranda Hart: 'I hate the thought of it ending'

Miranda Hart talks to TV Times magazine about fame, turning 40 and her phenomenally successful sitcom Miranda.

Any thoughts that the third series would expose a lack of ideas or run out of energy have been swiftly elbowed into a pile of cardboard boxes. Miranda Hart has been on fighting form, and re-creates the mother-and-daughter two-hander that worked so well when the pair attended a psychiatric assessment.

This time Miranda is gritting her teeth as she tends to a sick, pedantic Penny ("And when I say a fresh towel I don't mean Febrezed and flapped outside the window"). But it's not long before the boot is on the other foot.

We've missed Miranda's dad and camp Clive this series, but the remaining cast have kept the laughs flooding in.
