Sputnik orbiting the world with george galloway episode 146


Sputnik: Orbiting the world with George Galloway is a weekly television programme on RT UK presented by British politician George Galloway and his wife Gayatri. It is produced by Global Media Services, a subsidiary of the American news agency Associated Press. The series began its run on 16 November 2013, but was off-air because of the 2015 general election between 28 March 2015 (71) and 16 May 2015 (72).

Contents

The programme covers world affairs with expert guests in conversation with Mr. and Mrs. Galloway. It usually covers two separate stories; one in each half of the 30 minute slot.

There are some trademarks and catchphrases in each episode, including George Galloway, just before turning to social media contributions, saying: "What's rattling, Gayatri?", and his sign-off: "It's been marvellous!"
