– Miranda decides to go on a solo holiday to prove she is independent. Episode 5: "Excuse"
At its heart, Miranda is deceptively simple. The title character, a thirtysomething woman, runs a quirky joke shop inherited from her friend (and later, surrogate father figure), Tilly. She is constantly at odds with her social-climbing mother, Penny (a brilliantly exasperated Patricia Hodge), who desperately wants Miranda to marry, dress appropriately, and secure a "proper" job. The core ensemble—including the long-suffering but loyal best friend Stevie (Sarah Hadland), the chef and love interest Gary (Tom Ellis), and the posh, oblivious friend Tilly (Sally Phillips)—provides a rich tapestry for Miranda’s chaos.
