John Cleese: not really into his Top Gear repeats

The good people of Dave are doubtless delighted to have John Cleese making a six-part series about gadgets for the TV channel. There can barely be a person at Dave – formerly known as UKTV G2 – who hasn't heard of the Monty Python star. Alas Cleese is unable to return the compliment. "I had a lot of fun making this show, but I'm afraid I don't have the faintest idea what the channel's called," he told this week's issue of Radio Times. "Is it called Dave? Dave's the TV channel? How peculiar." Yes, John, and they've got another one called Watch. Seriously.
