The Charlotte Church Show is a Channel 4 entertainment television show presented by Welsh singer Charlotte Church. It was first broadcast on 11 September 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."

[edit] Series 3
On March 23, 2007 a message was posted on the official Charlotte Church website to say that the series planned for summer 2007 has been put on hold until Church is ready to return to work after her pregnancy.[4]. In response to the delay of the third series Channel 4 doubled the amount of episodes for the fifth series of The Friday Night Project.
It was announced on February 10, 2008 that Charlotte was ready to make her return to TV. Church herself confirmed on March 26, 2008 that the show would be back with the same format in summer 2008 as well as a Christmas special.[5]
The series was moved to Thursday nights instead of Friday nights and began on July 10, 2008 with 2.4m viewers matching the amount of viewers that tuned in to the first episode of the second series[6].
[edit] Series 4
When Charlotte appeared on The Paul O' Grady Show recently, she had stated there will be a Series 4,but there be more music and entertainment. She says she hopes to come back to the show in 2010.
