Actor News - 19-09-08
After a seven-year hiatus John Cleese is to return to our TV screens, courtesy of channel 'Dave', as a gadget tester - reports TechRadar.

The show titled Batteries Not Included sees Cleese travel around the world to test gadgets � a bit like a geeky version of old pal Michael Palin then.

On his travels he will encounter a whole host of weird gadgets, including giant slippers, chin gyms and baby dusters.

Cleese won't be alone in his gadget odyssey, according to The Sun, he will be joined by a whole host of 'luminaries' including Danny Wallace, Dom Joly, and Richard Herring.

The show is partly based on Cleese's short stint as Q in the James Bond movies, and is part of a refresh of the digital-only channel Dave and will be broadcast in the channel's Autumn schedule.
