Variety reports 'Borat' star Sacha Baron Cohen and Andrew Newman, the former chief executive of Objective Productions, have set up U.K.-based production company Spelthorne Community Television. Channel 4 has taken a minority stake. Spelthorne Community Television is named after the district from which Baron Cohen?s character Ali G came from. Baron Cohen said: ?After more than a decade away from Channel 4, it?s very exciting to come back home, and back to the British TV industry that launched my career and those of many of my contemporaries: Ricky Gervais, John Oliver and those blokes who did ?The Inbetweeners.?" He added, "All have gone on to have great success internationally. A little too much success, if I?m honest."
