Subject: [Derren Brown] Re: E4 Saturday- New Series?
I think Mr Brown may have had a look at this group because they have
posted the following message on the news section of his site:
DERREN AFTER RI:SE
Following Derren's appearance on the early-morning fun-bundle that is
RI:SE, he has told us that he was "staggered" to see how little hair
he has and "bewildered" by the excessive tic which seemed to develop
through the show. Those who know, understand the significance of
the 'yes-nod' designed to aid with inducing a state of compliance in
the subject, but Derren says "it's gone beyond that and turned into a
strange tic which, if I'm not careful, sometimes surfaces during the
process of influence. I have no idea what it's about, and apologise
if any children were watching. At one point it was so bad they could
have renamed the show 'Parkinsons'". He also admits to swiping a
RI:SE tea-mug, fancying the sports presenter and eating a fried
breakfast on the studio couch after filming.
Poor bloke, he'll start to get a complex after listening to us lot!
P.S. i was in Clifton Village today and he walked past me :D
