Listen, it may not have been as achingly cool as Fleabag or as critically-acclaimed as Gavin & Stacey, but Miranda Hart’s eponymous sitcom will always hold a special place in our hearts.
Unbelievably, November 2019 marked 10 years since the first series debuted to a small audience on BBC Two, as fans followed the hapless adventures of the 30-something single joke shop owner.
Over the course of it first two series, the Marmite show built up a loyal fanbase and was promoted to BBC One, where its final episode went on to air to nearly 10 million people on New Years Day in 2015.
