A much-loved BBC sitcom featuring a Celebrity Traitors star could be making a return to TV after 11 years.
Miranda, which starred comedian Miranda Hart, ran from 2009 to 2015.
It followed the life of the socially awkward Miranda as she ran a joke shop, navigated an on-off romance with Gary, and clashed with her mother.
Alongside Hart, the cast included:
- Tom Ellis as Gary
- Sarah Hadland as Stevie
- Patricia Hodge as Penny
- Sally Phillips as Tilly
- Adrian Scarborough as Charlie
There were also guest appearances from the likes of Anna Chancellor, Mel Giedroyc, and Peter Davison.
Miranda was a hit among viewers, boasting an 8.2-star rating (out of 10) on IMDb from more than 19,000 reviews.
It has been described by fans as "utterly brilliant", "heartwarming", and "One of the best Britcoms ever!".
One person, posting on IMDb, said: "Thank you Miranda Hart!
"You are SO talented.
"I haven't laughed like that since Monty Python... I mean the original stuff.
"LOVE it!
"Love the talking to the audience, love the physical comedy, love the storyline.
"Just binge-watched all 3 series that are on Netflix...sad I can't watch series 4 and oh dear...it's over now?"
The fan continued: "Devastated it's over.
"Can't you make some more?"
Miranda could be set for BBC return after 11 years
Fans may finally get their wish.
Miranda may be returning after 11 years off air, with renewed interest following Hart’s appearance on the BBC’s Celebrity Traitors.
A TV insider, speaking to The Sun, said: "Miranda has reminded everyone just how loved she is.
"There’s been a huge reaction to her on Celebrity Traitors, and the BBC will have noticed just how much affection there still is for her.
"There is a real appetite for more Miranda.
"The show has had a new generation discovering her, while those who grew up watching the sitcom are desperate to see her back on screen.
"There have been conversations about whether Miranda could return among bosses.
"A one-off special could be a brilliant way to bring Miranda back, and the possibility of another series is something the BBC would love to explore."
The BBC has declined to comment on the speculation.
Miranda Hart opens up about her time in Celebrity Traitors
Miranda Hart has since appeared in other TV programmes and films, including Call the Midwife, Spy, and Emma.
She returned to the spotlight recently as a contestant on the second series of the BBC’s Celebrity Traitors.
Her time on the show ended on Friday (October 23), after she became the fifth celebrity to be 'murdered' by the Traitors – Maya Jama, James Acaster, and King Kenny.
Following her exit, Hart said: "I absolutely LOVED it.
"Please can I do it again?
"I am sure for many the idea of doing it is a hard no for a number of reasons – it’s an intense experience and being idiotic and vulnerable on international television isn’t for everyone.
"But for me it combined so much of what I love.

"The landscape, games, playing, being part of a team, deep and fun connection with people, being able to look down a camera and have a chat from time to time.
"I could go on.
"But when I say it was intense, it REALLY was – way more than I expected."
