This should be fun, meeting a medium this time.

Panthro

this is mad stuff

amacachi

Hilarious how quickly he turned on him.

Paparazzo

He saw her drive a mini in the car park!

It's pretty obvious how he does it. It's all about spotting reactions, and letting the person piece the rest of it together.

That and looking through the house while pretending to go to the bathroom, and loitering around the car park :rolleyes:

It's scary how successful "mediums" like this guy can become.What's the betting they'll revisit the first woman's house and find a picture of Pope John Paul hanging somewhere?:pac:

amacachi

Tempted to start this to help me through college. :P

FouxDaFaFa

Yikes, he has a bit of a nasty streak to him.

Paparazzo

"go and have a think about that" - He seems to say that a lot!

Funny the rubbish he comes out with when he's agitated

justsomebloke

Hi I'm getting the fact that someone who use to watch south park alot and although they still like it don't watch it as often is a bit skeptical about this when they really shouldn't be as Cartman is standing behind them!!!

billybigunz

Sounds like a real creep according to the Guardian.

It sounds like he's trying to use a lot of big words to impress Derren. Big words that he can barely pronounce, let alone understand.

I admire Derren's self-contol, and his ability to refrain from punching him in the face.

But I do wish he did punch him in the face.
Maybe that's where he got that big-ass dent on his head :eek:

PirateShampoo

Yeah it was good, it laughable that he didn't realize that his good reading lived next door to his sister.

Paparazzo

When Derren asked him about the mini he went mental. He accused Derren of being against psychics and skeptics!

amacachi

You said you hadn't been here, you said an outright lie. :pac:

Brilliant, I also loved how in both the one-on-one reading and the show he tried James/Jimmy and there were none. In Liverpool! AHAHA.

Panthro

its a wonder he didnt say..
"im seeing red..or blue..
do u support a team that has red..or is it blue..
liverpool perhaps?..or is it everton..?"

wow, he would have been guuud!

leggo

Brilliant show. Glad Derren is going down this route. Really enjoyed his 'Science of Scams' mini-series. His honesty about lack of psychic ability has always impressed me most about him.

ziedth

I would love to know how they get the names though,

my ma was called up on stage for Kieth Barry last year and after a whole song and dance of stopping his heart he said that jimmy(my grandfather) said hello.

Now, I'm a complete skeptic so I know it's not real but I just can't see anyway that he could have known ya know?

Anyway, great show I'm a big Derren fan. I was waiting for him to nail him on the mini and his complete over reaction was priceless.

Yitzhak Rabin

Does anyone know when this will be up on 4od? How long does it generally take? I'm a big DB fan and really want to see it.

It's up now, according to Derren's blog.

Statement from Joe regarding Derren Brown - Investigates

You may have watched my recent appearance on “Derren Brown – Investigates” on Monday 10th May 2010. If you managed to catch it, you will have noted ….all was not as it seems as the well know sceptic, himself might say. For example, the production company advertised for a list of readers to use in the documentary. Ultimately they therefore had a free reign as to who they chose for me to read for. I was not informed who I would be reading for, where I was going or when I was reading.
When I arrived at Vanda’s address I immediately informed the Director of the programme, Mr Heenan Bhatti, that my half sister lived in the road. The Director’s enquired if I had read for Vanda at the address previously to which I responded I had not. It is disappointing that with creative editing the programme makers have attempted to imply that I gathered information about this lady (and others) through my half sister. For the record, this is not true.
I was therefore reluctant to attend the address because I anticipated the programme makers were keen to use this against me and shatter my reputation.
The programme makers were not interested in documenting a fair and balanced portrayal of my act but merely attempted to destroy my reputation that I have built up over many years. With this in mind, I instructed solicitors to write to the programme makers putting them on notice that if any comments broadcast were defamatory, I would reserve my position to issue proceedings. You will note from the letter dated 26th March 2009, clear confirmation that I informed Mr Bhatti I was aware of Vanda’s address. There was no mention of this in the programme.
Further evidence of my unfair portrayal was Claire Copper’s reading at the Hollyoaks’ studios.
I had no recollection of ever seeing a Mini Cooper parked in the car park as insinuated by “Lee” Derren Brown’s Runner. Lee is/was also employed by Lime Pictures (makers of Hollyoaks). In any event, the car park was dark and no car pulled up next to me. I am aware the programme makers took the CCTV footage from the car park that night and have failed to provide any evidence to support its claim. It is their words against mine. I will leave it for you to decide who you believe.
In my opinion, I believed I would be making an informative and constructive debate into the life of a psychic. It soon became aware that this was not going to happen. I was aware Derren was a celebrity sceptic but did not for one minute believe the programme makers would undertake underhand tactics like changing clients names and their personal details to prohibit a true reading like they did with “Pam”. For those of you who watched the programme, you will note I exposed “this reading” as a set up very early on and was disappointed the programme makers had clearly decided to make a negative documentary about what I do. I did however felt pressured to continue. It is my belief that “Pam” also felt pressured to continue. It was interesting to note both “Pam” and Derren couldn’t remember if they had met earlier. Any reading was always going to be distorted with such variables.
I do not ask you to believe what I do is true. My gift provides a lot of people throughout the country with a certain amount of comfort and happiness. Like many other psychics and mediums throughout the country, you either believe us or you do not. I am not forcing you to believe me but the programme will have upset a lot of people who do.
It is disappointing that what you saw last night was not actually a realistic interpretation of the week in question and I merely wish for you to be fully informed of the actual facts to make you make your own mind up.

As you can see, he's continuing to throw his toys out of the pram.

And no, he didn't "expose this "reading" as a set up very early on". He realised that it was all going tits up, and started blaming Derren, saying the fact that he was in the room had intimidated her, or made her more skeptical or something. :rolleyes:

ziedth

He really really should just throw in the towel, what can his solicitors possibly do?

If he wasn't such an asshole i'd feel sorry for him. My one problem with the show was that derren made a point that maybe it's more important that mediums give hope to the family as opposed to us dead loved ones for an easy few quid

Skud

just finished watching this... his over reliance on wanting to know who a person he was reading for was apparent.

If you liked this - you would probably would really like the penn and tellar episode from 2003 in the same vain. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0672539/

leggo

He has no comeback. As Derren said, if the spirits were appearing behind/beside her and knew her anyway, what difference would it make if he knew the details or not?
