Yep, it's a cat video show...

Susan Calman is to front a one-off programme exploring how cat videos have come to dominate the internet.

But in a cruel irony the show, Pussy Galore, is for Radio 4, so ailurophiles won't be able to watch the felines in action.

Calman has made no secret of her love of cats, both her own and those she finds online, and her Twitter feed often features photos of pets in fancy dress.

And for the new show she tries to make her own 'fur babies' into viral internet sensations - taking advice from fellow comedians Vikki Stone, Angela Barnes and Pippa Evans.

The half-hour programme, to be aired on July 4, will also feature interviews with Will Braden, winner of the first ever Golden Kitty award at the Internet Cat Video Festival, and Jack Shepherd of entertainment website BuzzFeed.
