Miranda Hart will return for a second
series of her sitcom
The semi-autobiographical Miranda sees the comic living out a farcical family life, with Patricia Hodge playing her mother, Sarah Hadland as Miranda's best friend and military joke shop manager Stevie, Sally Phillips as Sloane Ranger school friend Tilly and Tom Ellis as Miranda's long-term crush Gary.
Miranda said: "I am very grateful for all the support and to the BBC for giving me the chance to do another series next year - a daunting, but delightful Christmas present!"
The 37-year-old writer and actress confessed she had been nervous about airing the show, written by, based on and starring herself.
She said: "I was far more nervous than I thought I would be about the series going out. It being an eponymous sitcom the pressure was on. So, I am not only relieved but totally overwhelmed by the response and thrilled that people have enjoyed the series."
Janice Hadlow, controller of BBC Two, who recommissioned the show, said: "Miranda is a fantastic talent and it's no surprise that her first television series has been an instant hit. The fact that she has committed to a second series on BBC Two in 2010 is a wonderful Christmas present for both the channel and Miranda's fans."
