Sputnik: Orbiting the world with George Galloway is a weekly television programme on RT UK presented by broadcaster George Galloway and his wife Gayatri. It is produced by Global Media Services, a subsidiary of the American news agency Associated Press.[1] 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).[2]

The programme covers world affairs with expert guests in conversation with the programme's hosts. 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 Galloway, just before turning to social media contributions, saying: "What's rattling, Gayatri?", and his sign-off: "It's been marvellous!"
