Where Wood had Walters, and French and Saunders had each other, Miranda Hart had Sarah Hadland as little Stevie, the pocket blonde dynamo she treated like a rag doll.
In the book, Hart describes always trusting that she would become a comedy actor.
Since then, Hart describes how almost every return to work has come after days, weeks, even months spent recuperating in bed.
In the final special, she gets her wish when, serenaded by Heather Small and Gary Barlow, Miranda and Gary finally tie the knot.
