The Charlotte Church Show is a Channel 4 entertainment television show presented by Welsh singer Charlotte Church. It was first broadcast on September 1, 2006 and ran for 6 subsequent Fridays. The show was commissioned for a further two series,[1] the first of which aired from February 23 to April 6, 2007. On December 13, 2006, Church won the Best Female Newcomer award for the show at the British Comedy Awards.[2]
Each episode begins with a "theme tune" which always has the same melody and harmony, but is always in a unique style (reggae, country, disco, etc.). In the verse, Church sings about current events and gossip, and the chorus is simply "This is my lovely theme tune, it goes on and on."
