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

Nope, I think people just don't like to see their fellow human beings having the wool pulled over their eyes and believing it (beyond a bit of harmless fun).

Has anybody ever commented to you (professional or otherwise) that you have a disproportionately heightened response to things ? Perhaps it's time for you to join the other chap on the wine and contemplate what's at the route of that rather than being concerned with Darren Brown !
 
I am quite happy watching Derren Brown and what ever he does but messing around on railway lines 'even as an (controlled) experiment' is irresponsible
 
Okay, I don't get why so many people are being like 'ridiculous, no copilot?'. If it was real (which it wasn't, that train scene was awful), a few errors with the pane would mean nothing if the guy was supposedly in an extremely suggestible mental state. It probably would have seemed more ridiculous to him if both pilot and copilot had fallen ill. :p I just don't see the point in finding all these holes in that part... especially when there's other far more glaringly crappy things.

I think I got caught up while watching it, but there were moments I just thought 'this is stupid' and in the cold light of day I find myself agreeing with all the people who were complaining the whole time.
 
I've changed my mind. What a load of crap.

He hasn't even applied the brakes on the plane! If that was a real plane they'd all be dead.

What is going on with his GF blubbering away? It isn't REAL!
 
I usually like Derren Brown so I hope there's some underlying purpose and twist to be shown at the end. So far it's been very poor and laughable.
 
And then when Matt got up off the tracks the train went past a nano second later like something out of a Charlie Chaplin film.

It was also all a bit like the scene from The Holy Grail when the psychotic Sir Lancelot (John Cleese) was rushing up to the castle to rescue the camp Prince Herbert from the tower (the one who just wanted to sing). The two guarRAB at the castle gates didn't give a stuff because every time they checked on Cleese he was still miles away, literally a speck on the horizon, but then a split second later he was butchering them both before they had a chance to even draw their weapons.
 
Continuity errors galore :D.

I just being watching the next 15 minutes from where I previously stopped.

In the petrol station kiosk there is a shot directly behind the head of the teller, who clearly has greyish hair. In the next shot looking towarRAB the tellers area, 1) there is no sign of any camera whatsoever 2) the teller has jet-black hair. Oops :p

In the "croc-field" it is bone dry, apart from a shot of Derren prattling on in which it is clearly raining. This has already been mentioned. Shouldn't this continuity goof be spotted in post-production :rolleyes:

After "breaking-and-entering" the taxi stops in front of "Matts" house, narrowly avoiding running over the cameraman. In a subsequent shot we see "Matt" getting out of the taxi, which has obviously moved as we can now see a white 4x4 in the background which wasn't previously visible (from the same camera position). How on earth are we supposed to beleve that "Matt" didn't see the camerman stood immediately next to the car??? Beggers belief.

Watching the program knowing that it is complete and utter bs is more entertaining that thinking it might be real.

-> Didn't Derren do a series of exposes on the practices of various charlatans. They were tricksters who used psycology to decieve people for money. It seems like Derren has joined them. :(:(:(
 
Succeeded at what though? Making the most derided TV show of the year? If Christine Bleakley made a documentary denying the holocaust and calling for the age of consent to be lowered to six, no doubt the outcry would run to a similar length. That doesn't mean she'd done something right; simply that so many people wanted to have their say. Quantity does not equal quality.
