Derren Brown- The Guilt Trip

[LeBOF]

Anyone watching?

Entertaining as this is, I think that a serious programme on how people with learning difficulties and psychological problems confess to crimes (spontaneously or under pressure), and end up being prosecuted, would be very interesting.

I wonder if he'll ever trust his g/f again being as she was in on it all!

It's clunking. So clearly a fake. The questioning went from how did you get on with deceased to how much do you drink to how well did you sleep last night to is there something you want to tell us. Fake fake fake. Anyone who didn't awake whilst being carried downstairs by ten people and outside is either drugged or pretending to be asleep.

I suppose it's fairly topical after the whole Amanda Knox confession thing as well

Its weird and really cruel - poor bloke

If his girlfriend did agree to this I wonder if she's still his girlfriend?

agree lebof
doesn't derren brown always check out these people first to make sure that they are susceptible to his mind games?

Aaah I do not want to believe Derren is a fake.....or maybe that's just what he wants me to think

Is anyone else finding this reminiscent of The Truman Show??

Oh I so want it to be real, really disappointed if it's not, I love Derren (though this is the first of this series I've seen so haven't seen the possible fakery in the last two)

Did anyone ever see that Michael Douglas film "The Game" about fifteen years ago? So clearly where Darren, sorry Derren gets his ideas.

yes very unlurked.

Its not on to play with peoples minds and emotions like this, what if he went and topped himself now?!

Oh, I'm a big Derren Brown fan, don't get me wrong. But he would surely encourage us to be sceptical of mediums and the like, so I don't see how we are supposed to avoid looking to the most likely explanation when Derren tries to trick us, no matter what his disclaimers say. And the obvious conclusion is that this is ALL acted for our entertainment.

I asked about the nightwear thing too.

I found the Stephen Fry one interesting, the masks one a bit predictable and dull, but this is just cruel. DP's watching it, but I'm really feeling very uncomfortable about it.

and like 'The Magus' as well - the ultimate power (think The Game was taken from that book? could be wrong)

He would have been talked through it all very very soon after to 'decompress' him. They showed the debrief part after 'The Heist' where he had people holding up a securicor van

He's gone to the real police station? Are the police in on it too?!

Hmmm they just happened to have cameras in the village police station?

Oh OK the station is populated by actors? How did they know he would go there?

That was well planned wasn't it!

How on earth does he get away with these things?

Oh. [feels stupid].

I think that was really cruel.

In the very beginning the group was told there was nothing but a post office and police station

this man is clearly the biggest numpty in the world ever. He hasn't even been cautioned by this fake copper and walks out of the room when he's about to "spill". What a load of shit.

In the local village I mean
