Baron night ahead

Sacha Baron Cohen is back... and starring in satirical comedy Who Is America? on Channel 4 next month.

He has been filming the seven-episode show for a year and in a teaser for the programme, Cohen, posing as a journalist, interviews former US vice president Dick

Cheney and asks him to autograph a “waterboard kit”.

The politician is a known proponent of the torture technique. Mr Cheney, 77, agreed, saying: “That’s a first.”
