The Basil Fawlty actor says he often communicates with his former co-star from beyond the grave, and is grateful for the feedback on his next TV project.

Cleese said: "I talk to Graham through a medium. She tells me what he's saying."

Cleese said Chapman had told him the new version of 1970s sitcom Fawlty Towers was a "very good script".
