Bored of the same old stuff on the telly? Repeats, reality shows, Simon Cowell? Well, good news, David Icke is planning to set up his own his own TV channel, the Sun reports. The former BBC presenter and conspiracy theorist, who once famously claimed Tony Blair was the result of human and reptile cross breeding, has decided enough is enough and "it's time the people's voices were heard". Icke is looking for donations and has set a target of £100,000 to set up the station, which would feature programmes from around the world, phone-ins and 'global mass meditations'. For £25, you get a signed poster of the ex-Coventry City and Hereford goalkeeper … But for £10,000, you get to host your own one-off show. Answers on a postcard for who you think is desperate enough to get back on the box. The Sun. Biz P4
