I've seen him live twice. And he's a f****ng witch! But his tv stuff relies too heavily on insanely suggestible individuals that in all fairness, you and I could persuade to believe they are a fish!
That said apocalypse is a cheerful take on the 28 days later meets armeggedon genre we are all so fond of. I imagine it's been stupidly h+s planned as the guy could take a nearby lump of concrete or rebar to the skulls of any of those 'infected' and I wonder if it would be his fault...

I'm fascinated by his programmes, I've done a little background reading based on DBs reading list suggestions. I'm part way through one called Paranormality, its basically an exploration of the science and psychology around why people feel scared, how various tricks such as 'mediums' and 'palm reading' etc work.

DB is through his own admission just highly skilled in reading body language, influencing how a person makes a decision and predicting how a person will react to a situation.

He has to choose a particular type of person for these programmes, but its impressive nevertheless.

Haha i was half hoping he'd pick up an iron bar or something. Seen db the once and it was well worth a night out.

To be continued.... <--- grr

It's mad that programme - I can't believe it.

I really like Derren Brown, and I'm really enjoying the programme, but I can't believe they've been allowed to do it - did anyone see that poor bloke's face when he woke up and was watching the telly??
