The Sarah Millican Television Programme
The Sarah Millican Television Programme is a British comedic television show hosted by comedian Sarah Millican. The show's central theme is a comical review of television programming. Each edition features as a topic a different genre of television; Millican would lampoon the topic genre in monologue segments that were intercut with jocular interviews of celebrities known for work within that genre. Three series of the show were broadcast between early 2012 and late 2013. A pilot episode was filmed on 25 May 2011, but never broadcast.
Filmed at Dock10, MediaCityUK in Salford in late 2011, the show was a co-production between So Television and Millican's own company, Chopsy Productions.
