Sarah Millican's Support Group

Sarah Millican's Support Group ­(Radio 4) is a comedy blending fiction – Millican plays a life counsellor, supported by a clutch of comic ­actors playing assorted experts and people needing advice – and ­interaction with a live audience. It's an odd mix, mostly scripted but suddenly freewheeling, and the best fun comes when Millican talks to the audience. Her theme in last night's show was dating ­outside of your social class, a topic she introduced by ­recalling living with ­middle-class people for the first time. They had ­dimmer switches. "I had no idea how they worked," she said. "I was 29." One member of the audience ­explained that his former partner was so posh they "wouldn't be seen dead on a bus". Millican riffed on this, ­laughing at how funny it would be "if when they were dead, you just put them on a bus". She added a boisterous coda, ­intended for the snobby, dead ­ex-partner: "Can't control it now, love." The scripted parts were a little more predictable, but they also delivered some nicely strange images and moments. A woman explained that she keeps a large bat by her bed for safety, but it's not a weapon as she also has a ball with it. "I'm the same," ­Millican said. "I've got a massive knife." Pause. "And a ­massive fork."
