Date

S1 E1: Miranda isn’t your average girly girl and she seems to be a constant disappointment to her mother Penny (Patricia Hodge) who keeps trying to set her up with potential suitors, regardless of whether they are actually related to Miranda or not. At 6 foot 1, Miranda gets called ‘Sir’ once too often, much to the amusement of her childhood friend Stevie (Sarah Hadland) who manages Miranda’s joke shop. Miranda bumps into an old friend from University, Gary, (Tom Ellis) who is working in the restaurant next door, as the new Chef. When he asks her out for a drink to catch up, she gets over excited by the prospect of her first real date and decides it’s time to try and be more girly. She goes shopping for a new outfit to impress Gary but her make-over doesn’t go quite to plan. After begrudgingly attending a reunion lunch with her old boarding school chums Tilly (Sally Phillips) and Fanny (Katy Wix) she ends up being talked into helping them with their wedding dress shopping… against her better judgement.
