"LONDON - BBC Radio 4 is launching a "broadwebcasting" show parodying the internet by mocking pop-ups, search boxes and other aspects of online activity. Produced and directed by Pozzitive, the four-part series is called 'Bigipedia' and has taken its inspiration from Wikipedia. It airs from July 23 at 11pm."
The Wikipedia it's parodying seems to be an alternate-universe one which has ads, corporate sponsors, and intrusive offers to get its readers to purchase enhanced access levels.

I felt that was a minor detail for dramatic license. They did after all give it a different name ... that stuff seemed to me to parody Internet sites in general and the joy of browsing on a censored connection.
