Smack the Pony was a British sketch comedy show that 
ran from 1999 until 2003 on Channel 4, poking fun at 
female and male behaviour in the human section of the 
animal kingdom. 
Its title was intended to be a euphemism for female 
masturbation; the working title was Spot the Pony. 
The main performers and writers on the show were 
Fiona Allen, Doon Mackichan and Sally Phillips. 
There were also regular appearances from Sarah 
Alexander and Darren Boyd and .

Among the show's regular themes were unsuccessful 
relationships, competition in the workplace and 
latent lesbianism, but sketches would also dip into 
the surreal. Two regular strands involved a series 
of different women making dating agency videos about 
their general likes and dislikes, and a musical parody 
followed by a final sketch during the credits that 
would close the show. 

Dusty Springfield's song In the Middle of Nowhere, sung 
by Jackie Clune, was played over the title credits.
