Derren Brown - Apocalypse

[SherlockGnomes]

Seen a couple of trailers for this and it makes my tummy churn with a kind of horrible fascination. Is it acceptable to do this to a person do we think? I know they have signed up at some degree at some point, but surely it could seriously, seriously fuck you up?? Here is the

Did you ever see the stunt where he convinced a woman that she had died that was very scary

The one were he made a man confess to murdering someone that he hadn't haunted me for weeks. Scary

Ooo I missed that one. Will be watching this one, although I find derren brown terrifying.

I just saw the trailer for this and tbh he sounds like a power crazed, mercenary lunatic.

i totally think it could cause damage.

It's emotional manipulation to get money/viewers/whatever - never, ever gets past my bullshit radar. I HATE stuff like this.

I've never watched the bloke before btw...makes me feel sick.

To be fair psychiatrists were involved with the selection and afterwards to make sure the guy was ok.

Love Derren Brown - think he's fab.

But it's just so horrid. Really horrid idea, and all to make people be shocked.

Nasty.

Did anyone see the one where they convinced a whole of particularly gullible young people they had gone into space (nothing to do with Derren Brown but was Ch4 I think)? It was actually quite funny.
This one though I am unsure about.

Won't it make the person really, really upset and frightened? Or is that the whole point?

I don't understand that mentality, watching people suffer, because they believe something terrible has happened. Oh such fun. It's a bit like Kay whatshername from Sky.

If participants consent to be manipulated that's fine and up to them.

From the trailer it looks awful though. Personally, I won't be watching as that dark devastation reminds me of the 7/7 bombings.
He will no doubt make a tidy profit from terrifying the guy.

Can't stand weasely little Derren Brown. Find his programmes manipulative and more unforgivably than that, boring.

Why do people even sign up for it though? I don't understand their motivation.

I'm watching! Is it weird that I'd quite like this to be done to me? I'd be interested to find out if I'd be a quivering wreck or a warrior

Looks like there's a hint of zombie as well!!

I'm enjoying it, though it does feel a bit totally evil! But it's still interesting and I really like Derren Brown
The hacking is really amazing stuff.

Agree the person knows what they're signing up to. Also think all the prep is unbelievable. Would have cost far too much to plant all that stuff. That's all for the TV show.

I think it's all an absolute croc of shit. Derren, you balding cnut.

OMG, seriously? This is just bollocks!!!

They are all actors. Including the guy who is meant to be being apocolypsed!

I don't like the way he's dressing it up as doing the guy a favour. Dh said its just an elaborate beadles about

It's basically 28 days later and day of the triffids.

Beadles about, think your dh might be right

Loathsome self aggrandising little arse of same ilk as jezza Kyle and Matthew wright.

Yuk yuk yuk

Awful
