    Well I type "Program" and I"m not british. So you could guess from there. But I'm probably wrong :p

    they're both acceptable http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=programme but program is the more common, so use that :yes:

    I would only spell program programme if I was talking about TV. What programme is it on? and the like.

    It should be a programme, in British English the only acceptable use for the word program is in the context of computers, where a computer program is correct.
