Subject: Re: Another Derren Brown?! (Jez Rose)
Hi Jez,
I agree with you there about keeping everything cool. If you know
Derren and he's happy with it all then that's fine.
Also, I am intrigued about the TV special you are going to show later
in the year. Can you enlighten us on what stuff you will be doing on
the show? Do you have an actual date of when it will be shown, and
what channel will it be on?
Regards,
Sang
