A nice interview here from BBC Radio Norfolk who fell hook, line and sinker for a spoof story about the council estate roots of Downing Street cat Larry which also suckered, among others The Daily Mail.
Hat tip Jonathan Haynes and others.

Would have been good if you had been able to include in the clip the apology to the audience given that they realised whilst on air that they had been hoaxed. You'll find that here : http://audioboo.fm/boos/287836-norfolk-churnalism (note: edited to allow context)
