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