The Monty Python legend says that the controversial network made him 'the most extraordinary offer'.

Last year, the Monty Python legend announced that he would be hosting his own show on the news channel and that it would be a “no holds barred account of the news”.

Entitled The Dinosaur Hour, Cleese appeared on GB News to discuss his decision to join the network, telling Michelle Dewberry: “They came to me a few months ago and they made me the most extraordinary offer that’s ever been made to anyone in the history of television.”

He added: “They said ‘would you like to do ten shows; you can do whatever you like’. Can you imagine the BBC doing that? It would be subject to committee A and then after committee A had approved it, you’d go to Committee B. They said you can do anything and I’ve had no interference of any kind and it has been joyful.”

The show will be filmed at a thousand year old castle and feature Cleese having intimate conversations with a number of guests.

    You can do whatever you want…as long as it passes Committee A…and then Committee B…but after that you can do whatever you want! I think hw should do a serious interview then have titties somewhere behind the interviewee.
