Expect bloody mayhem, cunning stunts, twisted fun, a hatful of celebrities and the world's top magicians in the first studio-based magic show for ten years. This week Dirty Tricks is hosted by an owl voiced by Stephen Fry and features the dark and comically deranged double-act Barry and Stuart in a series of stunts. The programme also features the maggot-eating Pete Firman, who freaks out Big Brother's Nadia, magic therapist Alistair Cook, and extreme escapologist Jonathan Goodwin who, with the help of his dad, attempts dangerous homemade stunts. On location are evil hypnotist Rajan and his sidekick dwarf Binde, whose idea of fun is to turn the public's ideal dream into their worst nightmare. With guest appearances by Kim and Aggie, Neil Fox, and the amazing Mr and Mrs Hertzel and their crossbows.
