In 2012, she began appearing in the BBC drama Call the Midwife as Camilla (Chummy) Fortescue-Cholmondeley-Browne.
Hart starred as "Teal" in two series of the BBC television comedy sci-fi series Hyperdrive, which ran from January 2006 to August 2007. She has also appeared in French & Saunders, My Family and Other Animals, Nighty Night, Absolutely Fabulous where she played a 'Japanese' woman called Yoko, The Vicar of Dibley, Lead Balloon, William and Mary, Smack the Pony (for which she wrote and performed in a couple of sketches and a number of video diaries), Not Going Out and Stupid! She appeared in the third series of Comic Relief does Fame Academy in 2007 and became the second contestant to be voted off the show. In 2009, she appeared in the last ever sketch from French and Saunders, also in aid of Comic Relief. She also has her own show known as "Miranda" including Miranda Hart, Tom Ellis, Patricia Hodge and more. Hart appeared in a short film by Tim Plester, World of Wrestling, in which she played "Klondyke Kate", a wrestler billed as 'hell in boots'. The film was released in late 2007 alongside its companion shorts Blakes Junction 7 and Ant Muzak.
In 2006, she appeared with Lee Mack in an episode of Not Going Out as an acupuncturist. Her performance impressed the producers so much that they wrote a regular role for her in the next series as Barbara, a clumsy cleaner, a part she continued to play until 2009. However, due to a busy filming schedule, the character did not return for the fourth series, aired in 2011.
