BBC2 to repeat namesake quest

Dave Gorman's quest to track down his namesakes is to be repeated on BBC2.

The Dave Gorman Collection is being screened in advance of his follow-up series Dave Gorman's Important Astrology Experiment.

The six shows chart the progress of his adventures, following a drunken bet with flatmate Danny Wallace that he could not meet 54 other Dave Gormans.

He travelled more than 20,000 miles, running up huge debts, in his search, which also involved a show at the Edinburgh festival and has since been made into a book.

The Dave Gorman Collection returns to BBC on June 27, and the first installment of the astrology show is being recorded tonight (Sunday).
