The Assassin

I just watched the first episode of Derren Brown's new series called The Experiments, and I have no idea how to feel.

He basically chose one guy from a group of volunteers who wanted to be on his show (I applied, btw, I just forgot to send the application form off...) and manipulated him, by doing what he's best at, into killing my absolute idol, Stephen Fry!

By the end of it I had tears in my eyes - not because I was happy or sad or being manipulated by the powerful music at the end, but just cos that's what happens when I get scared. I don't really know why it scared me - I guess it's something to do with fear of the unknown, cos it is completely unknown to me how Derren Brown always pulls of his tricks so perfectly AND gets away with it. I'm sure the majority of things he does for TV is illegal.

Go watch it. And while you're at it, watch The Heist which is equally as incredible.

So I've managed to mention two of my idols in this post, now I need a reason to mention Russell Brand...done.
