I'm enjoying Miranda Hart's sitcom, but the scene where she sang 'Greatest Love Of All' at a job interview was a steal from 'School Of Rock'.

Jack Black as Dewey sneaked the same song lyrics into a talk with one of the school staff.

I saw this for the first time last week and wasn't so sure about it... but after last night it's growing on me now. I wouldn't say she's a natural actress, but at times she's very funny.

Patricia Hodge plays a great part in it as the mother... good to see her on TV again.

Was the character of Tilly (Sally Phillips) inspired by Sarah Kennedy?

She shares the same tricks of speech (e.g.'Cashingtons'). It's hard to believe the same actress was the giddy receptionist in 'I'm Alan Partridge'!

James Bachman (who appeared in 'Saxondale' as the facilitator) was in it this week as a lisping partygoer.
