Sitcom Trials mentioned in Miranda biog
I'm reliably informed that The Sitcom Trials and I get an honourable mention in this new biography of our old alumni Miranda Hart.
On which news alone I cannot recommend it heartily enough (and if the publishers would like to send me a free copy, I'm sure I'd be happy to endorse it further). Though, that said, can I just give the biggest thumbs up to I, Partridge - We Need To Talk About Alan by Alan Partridge, which is the funniest thing I've read this year.
As you were.
PS: Miranda tweets: @mermhart Miranda Hart The book is nothing to do with me i am afraid. Totally unauthorized.

Miranda In The Sitcom Trials
Miranda Hart was in tonight's One Show, which seems an opportune time to recall the debut of her novelty shop-based sitcom, in The Sitcom Trials back in 2001:
According to Wikipedia, Miranda Hart's eponymous sitcom, now on BBC 2, first appeared as part of The Sitcom Trials at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2001. It featured Miranda, working in a joke shop that sells penis pasta, with a diminutive blonde sidekick, originally played by Charity Trimm, and the love interest in the cafe, played then by Gerard Foster. The camp character played in 01 by Dan Clegg went on to be played in the TV series by James Holmes who, coincidentally, was the star of the 2002 Edinburgh Fringe Sitcom Trials.
If you would like to create the next great British situation comedy, The Sitcom Trials is an opportunity for your sitcom to be seen live.
Details of new shows, and our ongoing competition, are to be found here at sitcomtrials.co.uk and on Twitter and Facebook.
