Sarah Millican: Black Mirror stays with you
I knew that episode one of series two of Charlie Brooker's Black Mirror was going to be creepy because I watched the trailer and "ooh"-ed and clapped.

Toby Dantzic, The Telegraph, 21st January 2013Thank heaven for The Sarah Millican Television Programme (BBC2), proof that you don't have to be really horrid to be funny. Good jokes, quick wit, timing, a bunch of bawdiness, that all helps ... though speaking dead funny is obviously the main thing.
Not that it's over-cosy. "On a scale of one to 10, how creepy is [Andrew Lloyd Webber] in person?" she asks Melanie "Singy Spice" C. (Mel C unfortunately is a very dull guest and gives only asinine, on-message answers.)
I'm not sure about Sarah M's impressions - either of Nigella L or of a wolf. That's a bichon frisé isn't it? (I've just learned that one, I'm trying to get him in a lot.) Brilliant idea for a talent reality show, though Sarah - Dances with (actual) Wolves.
As for the voice, I started wondering if you slowed Millican down to about half speed (like when batteries used to run down on tape recorders), whether she would turn into Brendan Foster off the Olympics. So I did. I even learned the Garage Band programme on the computer especially, took me ages. And you know what? She doesn't. She just sounds like Sarah Millican, after a few drinks and a sex change.
