Sarah Millican: Thoroughly Modern Millican

The latest comedian to try their hand at hosting a chat show with mixed success, Millican is back in her element for this 2011 show recorded at the Hammersmith Apollo and re-edited for TV from the DVD release.

It’s fair to say the stand-up circuit isn’t short on observational comedy, but Millican can usually be relied upon to use her blowsy delivery to smuggle through some genuine filth, whether she’s discussing how to make a homemade treadmill or the practicalities of having an orgy.

It’s largely relaxed, optimistic and unchallenging fare: if you’re one of those who made her the best-selling female comedian ever by buying her debut DVD, then you’ll know exactly what to expect and won’t be disappointed.
