Derren Brown Live: Hero at 30,000 feet, C4 10pm

Finally got round to watching it last night. The overall impression I got was that it reminded me of a bigger budget "Beadle's About". Matt is put in strange situations that everyone else was in on.

All it needed was "live" Matt in a box in the corner of the screen cringing at the way he acted during the scenarios as the audience laugh.

Were some of Beadle's victims playing along I wonder?

Is Derren the new Beadle?

Those are big shoes to fill.

But small gloves.
 
This thread has been entertaining me for almost a fortnight now. 2 things have become clear during the amusing verbal cut and thrust of debate.

1) Ginger Geek is Derren Brown.
2) Keelboots is the lovely Debbie McGee.

I can land a plane. In Flight Sim for the PC, having said that I have also smacked them into the control tower, lost the wheels, killed all on board etc. It's not easy. Anyway, not the greatest of shows.
 
I was laughing throughout ..

* Matt's 'girlfriend' and her poor acting skills
* Taxi driver telling his punter to get him a pack of cigarettes
* The OTT acting by the 'robbers'
* Matt's hat
* Random street party in LeeRAB, which took place in a matter of minutes!! Folk in the non-studenty areas of LeeRAB are way more reserved than that
* Paying the taxi driver with a hanRABhake
* Matt waking up and then popping outside for a chat
* Hanging about in a back garden at 3 am. How random
* The Croc scene - Matt is dry, Derren is wet
* The slow ass train approaching Matt, who didn't seem all that worried considering he was a few seconRAB away from being decapitated

I think Derren has been watching Ghostwatch. ;)

why not do your own search?
anyway, as you're too lazy, here is 3 to go on with.
I remember a case in the uk a few years ago I cant find on the web where a hypnotherapist videod girls he had sex with and they did not know until they saw the videos later which were used as evidence.
there are bound to be more cases going back years which have not been put on the web.
 
I don't believe in any of the sort of "dream state" subconscious talking stuff so it was hard for me to take any of the show seriously or enjoy it. I think Derren's stage shows are amazing, I just wish he would get back to the shows and "magic" he used to do.
 
Just do me one favour. Watch the airplane bit back again and look at all the camera shots on Matt from different angles, and close up and please tell me how the camera's were concealed.

If you can explain this to me I am with you on everything from Whizzbit to Nessy. All real. No questions asked.
 
DB has the bare faced cheek to call mediums fake,when he is a fake himself. This has really shown him up so far. Who would believe anything he did now?
 
The Seance specifically states at the start that "none of the 12 participants are actors or stooges", yet eggshell has very clearly just busted that wide open. But it's okay right, because he doesn't use them in his stage shows apparently? So sometimes when he assures us that no stooges are used, they are, but then at other times they definitely aren't and it's ridiculous to suggest it?
 
The before and after was neccasasry though,to build him up for that moment. The "after" was the reward and to heighten his euphoria,self esteem. Nothing non sensical about it.
 
Yeh I guess - I would just be cacking it that someone would let the cat out of the bag - but I guess they've already said that he wouldn't so much as ask his neighbours for a cup of sugar (do people really do that?)

Maybe they did it before the whole thing started, but after he was selected :-)
