Extraordinary Escapes With Sandi Toksvig

Channel 4, 9pm

Sandi Toksvig (right) returns with her series in which she seeks out relaxing holiday spots across the British Isles for a quick break with female guests. Coming up in later episodes are actress Sue Johnston, psychotherapist Philippa Perry and comedians Sara Pascoe and Jenny Eclair.

But first up it’s another funny woman, one of the biggest stars of comedy –

Sarah Millican. Taking time out from her big UK tour, she’s enjoying a much-needed breather with Toksvig in Devon.

It’s a chance for a sweet encounter with the celebrated ponies of Exmoor, and the duo also enjoy an enchanting stay in an 18th Century mill house.

Topping off their idyllic getaway is a stop at a luxury spa retreat, where they soak up the sounds of a gong bath as it washes over them. )))))
