Review: The Sarah Millican Television Programme
The show is clearly just a vehicle for showcasing some of Sarah's stand up with a couple of guests bundled on for good measure. It's short and sweet, has no aspirations to change your life but gets the job done.
Scott Barnett, Giggle Beats, 2nd October 2013The Sarah Millican Television Programme - review
To me The Sarah Millican Television Programme puts me in mind of a show such as Russell Howard's Good News. Yes, they are not as serious as other similar comedies like Charlie Brooker's Screenwipe or Have I Got News for You, but they are jolly and fun. Sometimes that is all you need.
Ian Wolf, On The Box, 25th September 2013Watching Sarah Millican is like being gently tickled: strangely comforting and likely to produce the odd giggle. Tackling car shows, crime shows and quiz shows gives her the chance to make jokes about having George Michael as her sat nav voice and Countdown being easier now you can pause live TV. Bradley Walsh, Richard Osman and Quentin Willson respond to Millican's playful questions with grace, but the latter does look embarrassed when she talks him through her car's sanitary towel compartment.
Hannah Verdier, The Guardian, 24th September 2013Sarah Millican's whole deal is being quite a bit ruder than she looks like she's going to be. This works well for a stand-up, but it's a modus operandi that makes her harder to place in a TV setting. This show has the visual trappings of an early evening, shiny-floor affair, but with a mild smut factor more characteristic of the end of the pier.
Perhaps Millican should just go for broke and unleash the full gobshite - she might have to shuffle back to a later spot in the schedules but she'd surely be more comfortable with the situation.
Tonight's third series opener includes some low-level Top Gear baiting, a slightly awkward interview with Bradley Walsh and an encounter with Richard Osman from Pointless ('You filled Anne Robinson's old slot'). Not dislikeable, but still a bit of a muddle.
