Charlotte Church is back - with more fun and games than ever before
Friday, July 11th, 2008Voice of an Angel reprises chat show role
The third series of the Charlotte Church Show got off to a cracking start last night as 2.2 million viewers tuned in for another fest of cheeky Welshness from the expectant mum. Last night’s show, whose guests included Catherine Tate and David Mitchell, was watched by 2.2 million viewers and attracted a 12% share between 10pm and 10.45pm, according to unofficial overnight statistics.
Highlights of this series include a section called “Lady to Ladette”, where Charlotte takes a load of posh girls for a night on the tiles in Cardiff instructing them in matters of dress, drink and dancing. “Obviously I don’t encourage binge drinking…” she wrote less than convincingly in her press release.
Charlotte will also get a chance to show off her talent as she performs various numbers each week.
“I was really worried about having the singing in there,” she said. “I thought that to have a funny, lively, chaotic show and then get all serious and sing at the end would be a bit strange. But actually now I think it’s a really nice end to the show.”
The show begins with a “theme tune” which is performed in a different style each week. In the verse, Charlotte sings about current events and gossip. Tenner says Mark Ronson is involved.
Like last time, Charlotte takes to the streets performing candid camera style pranks, sometimes even going incognito. “It worked so well when we did it during the last series that we’re going to do one each week this time,” Charlotte said in an interview for Channel 4. “So I did one just recently at a wedding. I was talking to the best man during his speech. The bride knew about it, because I’m not about to ruin a bride’s wedding day by secretly filming without permission. But only the bride and the best man knew. It was the groom’s brother who was best man. This guy was brilliant - he did everything I told him to. It was bad. Really bad. But so funny.”
Next week’s guests include violinist Nigel Kennedy, who will be performing with Charlotte, and Katie Price.
The Charlotte Church Show will air on Thursdays at 10pm, Channel 4.
