'Skins' star for Miranda Hart sitcom
Published Thursday, Jun 18 2009, 18:10 BST | By Dan French

The actor, best known for his character of weed-smoking skateboarder Freddie in E4's Skins, will be joined by regular cast members Patricia Hodge, Sarah Hadland, Sally Phillips and Tom Ellis.
Based on the semi-autobiographical writing of comedy actress Hart, the aptly titled Miranda follows her public school background, agoraphobic tendencies and attempts at dating.
"Since I can remember I have wanted to be a comedian and so to have my own show on the BBC is a total thrill, albeit slightly unnerving!" said Hart. "To have actors like Patricia Hodge and Sally Philips interested in my writing, let alone agreeing to do the job, is a real honour."
The six-part series has commenced filming and is due to air this autumn.
