Sputnik: Orbiting the world with George Galloway is a weekly television programme produced by RT UK presented by British politician George Galloway and his wife Gayatri. 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).[1]
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!"
