The Sarah Millican Television Programme
A comedic review of British television genres.
Comedian Sarah Millican hosted this British television show, which humorously reviewed TV programming, especially British shows. Each episode focused on a different TV genre, with Millican poking fun at it in monologues that were mixed with lighthearted interviews of celebrities associated with that genre. The programme ran for three series, airing from early 2012 to late 2013. A pilot was recorded on 25 May 2011 but never aired. Filmed at Dock10 in Salford’s MediaCityUK in late 2011, it was a co-production between So Television and Millican’s own company, Chopsy Productions.
