Talk:Miranda Hart

message: I think the last line of this page is in error, as a radio series called "Miranda Hart's Joke Shop" is currently being broadcast. I'll alter it if no-one has evidence to the contrary. Jon Rob (talk) 12:18, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  TV or radio? 

message: As someone's just made this edit I'm wondering whether Hart refers to herself as a comedian or a comedienne. I know many women prefer the former, but it would be very useful if we could have a source for this for future reference. Can anyone help? TheRetroGuy (talk) 22:44, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Have a look at her own website. On this one page, we have "Miranda gained her reputation as one of our top, up and coming comediennes ..." twice. Elsewhere in her site, in the reviews, "comedienne" is used 3 times versus "comedian" once. --Redrose64 (talk) 23:17, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: If her own website refers to her as a comedienne we should go with that. I've changed it back and will post a comment on the user's talk page. Thanks for getting back to me. TheRetroGuy (talk) 23:20, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

text: No, because she calls herself an actress. See Miranda Hart: 'Can I be an actress, not a 6ft 1in actress?' --Bermicourt (talk) 09:29, 28 May 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Comedian/comedienne 

message: I learned last night that Patricia Hodge and Miranda are up for Monte-Carlo TV Fesival awards for their performances in Miranda. And googling I see that Miranda won the RTS award. I've put this in in NPoV but I do know Miranda so I should disclose this in case anyone thinks it's WP:COI in which case please edit to improve. NBeale (talk) 06:20, 8 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I've also added the FT comment. I suspect there are lots of other nice things. People might look at:
* this in the Guardian
* this in the Telegraph where she has the first and longest profile in an article called "Britain's funniest women".
* The rave review in the Guardian "what a show! ...More! More!"
And today a big profile in The Guardian NBeale (talk) 17:10, 2 December 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Disclosure 

message: She really produced that herself? It's a pretty poor one if her face isn't even visible. Can we request another, or is there a free one from elsewhere? --81.159.71.246 (talk) 00:12, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Photo 

message: We appear to have a small disagreement on her birthname. The reference provided in the infobox seems to support the name 'Miranda Katherine Hart-Dyke' and as her father had that surname it's likely she would have been given it. However, a couple of times recently someone has deleted the 'Dyke' part. So let's get this sorted out and have a definitive answer. I'm happy with whatever people choose to go with as long as we can find something to reference it. TheRetroGuy (talk) 16:47, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I haven't been back here for a few days so sorry about the delayed reply. Thanks for finding that. Seems ok to me. We can add it to reference her name and some information about her father. I'm a bit pushed for time at the moment, but I'll add it later on this evening or tomorrow. TheRetroGuy (talk) 20:45, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Everything added now. Thanks again for your help. Cheers TheRetroGuy (talk) 22:32, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified (February 2018) 

message: you people are hilarious. first of all if she isn't going to talk about her orientation why should it be anyone's right to know, just because "... people want to know"??? does being a public person require all one's details to be known?
secondly, Miranda Hart doesn't give a damn about her background but you elucidate it in excruciating detail which is mostly meaningless. I'd say cut 9/10ths of it.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.95.219.182 (talk) 21:20, 26 February 2018 (UTC)

thread_title:  sexual orientation and background 

message: In the infobox that is. Sure, let's include her parents and a couple of uncles, even a cousin or two perhaps, but is it appropriate to mention her link to Diana, Princess of Wales there? We haven't even done that for David Cameron, who probably has more relatives among the aristocracy than Hart. Any thoughts? This is Paul (talk) 21:12, 16 September 2018 (UTC)

thread_title:  Gallop 

message: Is this overly extensive list of minor great-and-goods really necessary? She's a comedian, not Benjamin Disraeli. How relevant is this? Hanoi Road (talk) 21:38, 20 March 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Not very. I had the same thought, but wasn't up for another protracted dispute over it. Most notable people are related to other notable people if you look hard enough. That doesn't mean we have to describe it all, nor is every time someone mentions something about their ancestry necessarily noteworthy.  And because someone is bound to point out that 'it is found in a Reliable source so it should be included', that only shows it is verifiable, not that it represents a significant aspect of her identity that adds appreciable insight to the biography, as opposed to fluff on a slow news day. To have a family section almost as long as the description of her career is certainly excessive for someone whose career isn't dependent in any way on their genealogical connections with cricketers and admirals.  I would vote to keep the first two paragraphs, maybe even removing part of the second one, and I would probably throw in the name of her maternal grandfather when naming her non-notable mother, and then remove the rest of it.

thread_title:  List of Relations 

message: This TV show has been omitted from the article. It is a three-episode x 60 minute mini-series featuring Miranda Hart and her mother, a renowned amateur British gardener, Dee Hart-Dyke. Together, they tour some fabulous British gardens that are listed in the National Garden Scheme Handbook (the "yellow book") - from large estate gardens to the compact, ones that open themselves to visitors as a charity-raising event.
Along the way, Ms Dee attempts to help the clueless Ms Miranda to develop a garden at her home.
I saw the show on my local PBS channel in the United States a few years ago.
* Early on in 2017, the show was called Down The Garden Path With Dee Hart Dyke - https://www.housebeautiful.com/uk/garden/news/a1685/miranda-hart-dee-dyke-gardening-show-more4/
* Interview of Dee Hart Dyke by Miranda Hart - https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/entertainment/miranda-hart-and-her-mum-dee-discuss-their-passion-for-plants/
* Abbreviated summary of the episodes - https://ket.org/program/all-gardens-great-and-small/
* Production company - https://kingbert.co.uk/productions/all-gardens-great-and-small/
These seem to be reliable sources.
