Clive Evans is the manager of the restaurant, located next to Miranda's joke shop. He also worked as an escort at the Hamilton Lodge, around the corner from the restaurant. He appears in series 1 and 2, and then in the finale episode of Miranda.

Series 1[]

In the episode Holiday, it is revealed that Clive works as an escort when Miranda unwittingly orders 'all-night company' at the Hamilton Hotel.

Clive seems very keen for Gary and Miranda to make a couple, and is continually encouraging Miranda to tell Gary how she feels. In Dog he tells her outright that Gary's decision to leave for Hong Kong could be derailed by a word form her.

Series 2[]

When Gary returns from Hong Kong in The New Me, it is clear that Clive was surprised to find that his contract was still in place, indicating he was not in the highest loop at the restaurant.

With Gary in the restaurant

In Let's Do It Gary and Miranda have gotten ever more chummy, and at one point the pair have their heads together at the restaurant counter, while Stevie and Clive watch them. She asks Clive "Do you think they know they're in love?" Clive says they do not, and then offers them vouchers for a romantic restaurant so they can see if anything will happen. They insist they are just friends, but because it's a place Gary wanted to try, they accept the vouchers and are surprised at how awkward the romantic setting has made them together.

It is Clive who accidentally slips and names Tamara Gary's wife, in A New Low, sending the Gary/Miranda dynamic into a tailspin. He had always tried to encourage Miranda to tell Gary how she felt, and was part of the conspiracy in The Perfect Christmas to leave Gary and Miranda to share a fold out bed. He seems delighted when they again make up.

In The Perfect Christmas Clive spends Christmas at Penny's with Miranda, Stevie, Gary, and Tilly. It is the last episode in which he appears until the show finale.

Clive was missing from Series 3 for undisclosed reasons, and was not mentioned throughout. Gary is seen to be doing a loan application for the purchase of the restaurant in What a Surprise.

Clive returns for a cameo in the series finale, The Final Curtain.

Physical Appearance[]

Clive is a Caucasian man, with short, greying, blonde hair and hazel eyes. He is rather short, certainly more on par with Stevie than Gary and Miranda.

Personality[]

Clive likes to poke fun Miranda and her ways when he gets a chance to, often lurking near the play button with a Miranda appropriate song cued up. He is, however, basically kind-hearted and is one of Miranda's allies.

Trivia[]

Quotes[]

  • Don't be shy, I've had weirder.
  • That's it, you're fired. Sorry, Gary, but you only employed her because she's your wife, or whatever the set up is.
