If you don't know who Dave Gorman is, you are missing one of the most original comedians of this time. If you don't know him you will never of heard of his brilliant "Dave Gorman Collection" from sevral years ago which was recently replayed on BBC2. In it, he searched the country far and wide for people who shared the same name as him, Dave Gorman, after being bet by his best friend he couldn't get one for ever card in the deck including the jokers. 56 Dave Gormans. Rising to the challenge he did it. And as well as that he tried to work out how many miles you had to go to find a Dave Gorman. He found all 56. He went to each and everyone of them, recorded them saying "Hi I'm Dave Gorman", shook their hands and then continued his search.
The idea was crazy, but strangely hilarious and addictive television.
In his search, he found a Dave Gorman from all the way out in Israel where he had a slight bit of trouble getting into, when asked his purpose of visit (to find some men called Dave Gorman, shake their hands and record them saying "Hi I'm Dave Gorman), he had a star named after him to add to his search (however this star was millions maybe billions of miles away and would have done much harm to his miles per Dave Gorman) and several people changed their names to Dave Gorman to aid his search (even a married couple changed their names to Dave Gorman, yes even the girl..).
It was a crazy search which many will have not seen due to hardly any adverts. However newspapers picked up on to it, and other television shows such as the Big Breakfast, but still not everyone saw it. And those people should be very sad.
However don’t fret, after that extremely original series, Gorman is back with yet another. This one is a six part series in which he investigates for 40 days and 40 nights whether horoscopes (And the 20 astrologers that read them) have any impact on your life whatsoever and if so whether they make it better or worse. His twin brother Nick plays the role of the control, which does not follow his horoscope whereas Gorman himself follows his horoscopes to the exact detail. So far one episode has played, in which Gorman makes a new friend, where’s purple clothing from a charity shop (luck wears purple), helps shift gravel at a local school, wins £500ish whilst placing a bet on Trevor Sinclair scoring first in a game, and comparing his happiness with the control. The difference in both of their happiness’s being the result of the horoscope. Happiness being a combination of health, wealth and love.
So if you ever wondered whether horoscopes are full of rubbish, or whether they maybe can aid you in winning the lottery, or getting love in your life make sure you watch how the series “Dave Gormans Important Astrology Experiment” unfolds on Sunday nights, BBC2..

'Now, I happen to know quite a lot of people with the same initials as me...'
It was 54 Dave Gormans he was after.
I saw him do an entire show basen on 'Reasons To Be Cheerful' by The Blockheads (also born out of a bet in a pub) and it was fantastic.
