Holiday

S1 E4: Miranda is well aware that she’s not exactly cool, that’s easily proved by the fact that the only songs on her MP3 player are by ‘Billy Joel’, but being young free and single has its advantages, like jetting off to Thailand on holiday for a few days. Although when it comes down to it she’d rather not bother with the hassle of going quite so far, so she books herself into a hotel across the road instead without telling her Mother Penny (Patricia Hodge) or friends she’s not actually leaving the country. She thoroughly enjoys the hotel room experience and even makes some new friends at the hotel, helpful porter Jason (Luke Pasqualino) and with conference organiser Colin (Dave Lamb). As her stay goes on, she literally becomes a new woman.
