Miranda finds it hard to convince her friends that she is not having a breakdown. There then follows an incident in the park with an ice cream van, a handsome jogger, a teacher and a class of six-year-old children that is enough to send anyone crazy. Miranda and Penny end up in the police station, and they both are made to see a therapist for an assessment.
The series is based on the radio show, Miranda Hart's Joke Shop which is based on Miranda Hart's semi-autobiographical writing. Miranda is a constant let down to her mother and she finds it hard to fit in. Miranda runs a joke shop and employs her old friend Stevie.
It doesn't matter what Miranda attempts in life, whether it's dating or simply dealing with her overbearing mother, she always seems to fall flat, quite literally.
