Miranda's sidekick, mentioned above - is Stevie, played by Sarah Hadland - very cute, with a puppy-dog face and several other things that appeal to a jaded old git like me...
Not sure this conversation is still going on but thought I'd add my tuppence worth. Cannot stand Mrs Brown. Used to love Miranda, starting with watching her in Not Going Out (so funny) but have now had enough of her. Too much same as same as. She even irritates me now in Call the Midwife and I was glad to see the back of her. So there.
feetlebaum - I love Mrs Brown's boys - and Miranda. I've always been quite clumsy and I'm tall.....maybe that's why I like her. Perhaps I'm identifying with her
