I came across this spoof BBC Radio 4 comedy prgramme tonight. It is archived for a week. I laughed my socks off, as well as other things.

Here's a bit about the show taken off the website.

Tina's come a long way since her early life growing up with her 17 brothers and sisters in Open Throat Holler, Tennessee. After adverse criticism of her first ever album release It Ain't Easy Being Easy, Tina C. drew inspiration from early feminist role model Tammy Wynette and went on to record her anthemic single - Course I Want You For Your Body (I Got A Mind Of My Own). Tina is now hailed as a role model for ballsy women everywhere: "We ladies in Nashville today only wear short skirts and sing songs about being mistreated by men because we want to."

Tina tours England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales over four weeks. Her gargantuan Winnebago can't drag itself above 40 miles an hour, so she's relegated to the A-roads. She keeps an audio diary of her trip, exploring what she thinks makes UK dwellers tick - a view based partly on Anne Hathaway's cottage and partly on the UK being a little bit of the USA. Hear extracts from her shows - recorded with a live audience - including songs from her extensive repertoire of comedy country classics such as "Love Must Have Made Me Deaf (Cos You Used To Whisper and Now You Shout)".

And here is the link.
