Dave Gorman's Important Astrology Experiment: Story, Cast and Series Facts

Story and premise

Every day millions of people consult their horoscopes. Is it wise to follow the advice of astrologers? The world of science has not been brave enough to answer this question. Until now.

Step forward Dave Gorman. For 40 days and 40 nights Dave Gorman has given up normal life. Instead he has scoured the horoscopes of 20 leading astrologers. His task – to follow their advice. To ignore speculation, prediction and guesswork, but at all times to follow instruction and pursue luck.

Over six, thirty-minute episodes, Dave will present the evidence to an astrologically balanced studio audience.

Receiving help and guidance from three world-renowned, independent experts in the fields of Love, Health and Wealth – Denise Robertson, Hilary Jones and Alvin Hall – the audience will then vote on whether Dave's or the control's life is turning out better.

Whatever the result, in Dave's world truth is stranger than fiction.
