91热爆

From Mozart to Mama Cass.

Actress and comedian Miranda Hart shares her castaway choices with Kirsty Young.

She wrote and starred in the hit 91热爆 sitcom "Miranda" and has congaed her way to the top of TV comedy by exploiting the universal truth that awkwardness lies at the heart of the human condition. Slapstick and misunderstanding underpin her work along with the impression that she's just a really, jolly, lovely 'girl'.

Making her mark has been something of a slog. After her first appearance at the Edinburgh Fringe it was another 11 years before she could give up her job as a PA. For a good while she was photocopying scripts rather than performing them.

She says: "I started writing comedy because it was more fun inside my head than the real world, but that's no longer true."

First broadcast on 91热爆 Radio 4 in December 2013.
