 "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.
