The Frank Skinner show is a chat show with an emphasis on humour. As you'll see from many of the pictures, Charlotte really enjoyed the experience.
Frank introduced the interview with a clip from a programme called 'This Morning'. A 10 year old Charlotte Church rang in and sang Pie Jesu, to the astonishment of the hosts, Richard and Judy.
   
   
   
Frank and Charlotte talk about the telephone call and how she used to sing at holiday camps in Carmarthen Bay. 'I used to sing 'Ghostbusters' said Charlotte. At this point they played a short clip of the movie theme.
   
   
Frank jokes about how opera singers would sing 'Ghostbusters'. Charlotte used to sing like Whitney Houston until she went to singing lessons.
Charlotte complains about how she has missed the floods and petrol shortages in the UK as she has been away for so long.
   
   
Frank offers to take Charlotte to a petrol queue tonight!
They talk about the 'Perfect Day' single (a Charity record released by the BBC) and how Charlotte would have adapted her voice to a 'pop' song, had she sung on it.
   
   
   
Frank sings 'Deep River' in an Opera style. Charlotte gives him some tips.
She describes how to breathe when you sing.
   
   
They talk about how Charlotte sang to the pope. Apparently he described Charlotte as 'the singer' - he watched Charlotte on a TV as he was ill at the time.
   
   
Charlotte describes the first time she saw Joan Collins.
Frank asks what's next for Charlotte? Charlottes talks about the release of Dream a Dream. She still gets time to go shopping with her friends even though she's promoting all over the world.
   
   
   
Charlotte talks about the Charity of Hope event in LA.
'Charlotte, its been lovely talking to you. Best of luck, don't work too hard. Your singing is beautiful. Ladies and gentlemen, Charlotte Church.'
The second half of the show was an interview with comedian Tracey Ulman.
   
   
  
Frank always ends the show, singing a song with his guests. Tonight's show was no exception - they sang 'Singing in the rain'.
