The Armstrong and Miller Show is a British sketch comedy television show produced by Hat Trick Productions for BBC One. It features the double act Armstrong and Miller and a number of notable scriptwriters including Andy Hamilton, co-creator of Outnumbered, and Jeremy Dyson, co-creator of The League of Gentlemen. It has run for three series and been nominated for two BAFTAs, winning one.
The series followed on from Armstrong and Miller on the Paramount Comedy Channel and Channel 4 between 1997 and 2001.
Three series of The Armstrong & Miller Show (not to be confused with the earlier show Armstrong and Miller) were produced by Hat Trick Productions for BBC One between 2007 and 2010 (no series was produced in 2008). It marked the first return of the comedy duo to TV since their previous sketch show ended in 2001.
A fourth series was hinted at by Ben Miller in 2012, but there has been no mention of it since then.
A special compilation episode was aired on 26 March 2011.
Visitors to British Comedy Guide voted The Armstrong and Miller Show the "Best Sketch Show of 2007".
It received a nomination in the 2007 BAFTAs for Best Comedy Series before winning the actual award for the year 2009.
