What a fabulous idea: Londoner Dave Gorman got it into his head to meet as many other Dave Gormans as he possibly could -- even if it meant flying to New Zealand, Italy, the South of France or wherever else to meet them. In his genial solo, Gorman tracks his encounters, furnishing snapshots and tape recordings as proof. At first it's amusing how he charts the miles traveled against the number of meetings to come up with a graph of an ideal ratio -- 400-500 mpdg (miles-per-dave-gorman). But his endless use of the chart for comic effect becomes tiresome, and though he's sought out nearly 100 namesakes since undertaking his quest, our host tells us precious little about the people he's met (apart from a sweet vignette about a middle-aged couple addicted to their lunch-hour scrabble game). Why bother to shake a hand and take a picture if you're not going to ask, "Tell me about yourself and the most interesting thing that ever happened to you?"
