Celebrating ten years of Derren Brown on TV.
Is Derren Brown magic at home, or is there a relatively ordinary bloke behind the stage persona? Of course there is, and this documentary promises to reveal him. Family, friends and collaborators talk to behind-the-scenes cameras, offering titbits that will doubtless be frustratingly opaque, although my money is on a picture of a thoughtful, bookish chap with a Fryish sense of wordy humour. Programmes like this are utterly meaningless without celebrity input, so thank heavens we're also joined by well-known fans including Stephen Merchant, Matt Lucas, Simon Pegg, Bill Bailey and Jo Whiley. Plus there are clips galore from Brown's TV specials. At 10pm we get one of them in full, as voted for by fans; at 11.10pm it's stage show Enigma.
Should be a good night! :hugesmile:
