Television’s Miranda Hart is introducing young people to the highs and lows of vlogging in her first children’s comedy web series, So Sammy.
The series, the first to be produced for the Disney Channel app, will follow the life of video blogger Sammy (Harley Bird) and the dilemmas she faces with party shop owner mother and French soon-to-be stepbrother, Olly.
“It has been really fun collaborating on a show set in the vlogging universe where kids hang out today and it made sense to set Sammy’s adventures here,” Miranda said.

“She is who everyone will want as their best friend, she’s real, funny, kind, upbeat and wants to make the world a better place.
“But because she addresses bigger and more real subjects than other vloggers might, she often overstretches herself but, even when it all goes wrong and she puts her foot in it, we will love her even more… we’ve all been there.
“With the show set in the intriguing world of tween vlogging, it is a perfect fit that So Sammy has its platform on the Disney Channel app.”

Launched this weekend, So Sammy is created by King Bert Productions, the company Miranda launched in 2014 with David Walliams and Jo Sargent.
Two of the 10 webisodes are now available on the app, with the rest rolling out in pairs from 10am every Saturday.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
