John Cleese said he wants to discuss “woke issues” on his new GB News show but is struggling to secure guests, suggesting they are frightened of getting sacked.

The Fawlty Towers actor and comedian said the channel put forward “the most extraordinary offer that’s ever been made to anyone in the history of television”, confirming his 10-part GB News show titled The Dinosaur Hour will debut on October 29.
