Derren Brown's Suffocation Controversy

Last December, the Watch channel rebroadcast Derren Brown's TV special, Something Wicked this Way Comes, at 9 AM -- and some people are not amused.

As reported in the Guardian, airing a show that features Derren suffocating himself with a plastic bag over his head violated Ofcom's broadcast rules. The show should not, allegedly, have been shown before 9 pm.

UKTV, which owns the Watch channel, says the program was aired accidentally. So far, I have not seen any reports of children suffocating themselves with bags after watching the show. I should also note that this is not the first time Derren has received Ofcom complaints (recall Russian Roulette, Seance, the railroad stunt, etc, etc).

Is Derren Brown coming to a country near you?

In a recent interview about Miracle, Derren Brown revealed that he "may do something overseas for a change". The comment is admittedly a bit cryptic. So what does he have in mind?

There are plenty of opportunities for him to take his stage show on the road outside of the UK -- any country where his television shows have succeeded would potentially work. He has visited Las Vegas to see Penn & Teller perform; would he make the trip again and get up on stage to perform alongside them?

Derren Brown's Voice Coach

Who taught Derren Brown how to enunciate clearly in his stage show? The National Theatre's Jeannette Nelson, apparently.

A recent article in the Daily Mail profiles Ms. Nelson and cites Derren as one of her pupils. Read it hear: Jeannette Nelson bio.
