Derren Brown Interview - GMTV ( see description for better sound)

[Jordog05]

Hey, I'v got a great idea for her next show; She can get a bunch of 5 year olds on and show them evidence as to why Santa doesn't exist! That'd crush 'em!

[Jimmycrow1980]

I admire and respect Derren Brown. What he does is brilliant and he is a superb entertainer. What the hell is this show doing trying to expose his magic. Derren's roulette routine is one of the best tv moments in the last 10 years. The presenter is an absolute idiot.

[ch3lseafc4eva]

Stop fucking interrupting him, u stupid, ignorant bitch!!!!

[dumassdslxc]

she kills it :/

[B1N4RYGH0ST]

Blanks in a gun, not held far enough from your head can be as dangerous as real bullets... Actors have died playing about with guns loaded with blank bullets.

[izzykryptonite]

God she's a fucking idiot. He did an entire section in the show dedicated to showing how blanks at point blank range would still blow your head off. So if he had got it wrong even with blanks in the gun, he wouldve still been six feet under or at best massively brain damaged. IF THERE IS THAT MUCH DANGER IN DOING IT WITH BLANKS WHY WOULD HE USE REAL BULLETS? She's a fucking moron. Hes a brilliant entertainer and he is massively talented. She needs to accept that he made fantastic tv and shut up.

[lewisself]

Even if it was real, would he really say they were after the pollice just said it'd be ilegal? ... she should learn to think, even if they wernt real, it'd still probably have killed him ...

[captaincazificatiful]

Fiona Phillips is a goon

[187BURNZY]

What a stupid fuckin bitch!

[JWillsIsShite]

he cant say there real bullets anyway by law! Who cares if it was fake? all magic is, the presenters look stupid for pointing that out, they name derren as an illusionist, then question if his act is real or not? Well Duh! an illusionist is someone that tricks you into believing something is something which it is not! I hope i make sense in this comment, and thumbs up if you understand me.

[samuelsixvids]

yeah lets shot a blank direct to our skull, anyone can do that. Stupid bitch.

[buddaduddabudda]

She was quite hard on him. And her language was quite confrontational. Bizarre line of questioning...

[Moh1Z]

This is the worst audio quality I've ever heard in my life.

[JHmagic1]

[gaBehcuoDsuoitneterP]

Grab a net a woman escaped from the kitchen. And boy does she love hearing the sound of her own voice. This braud did more talking in the segment than two men and a eunuch cop COMBINED. Bravo! Now make yourself useful and get back in the kitchen and make me a sandwich. God have mercy on the man who marries that. With these jokers I understand why Christopher Hitchens jumped the Atlantic. Maybe it's time Derren permanently visits Houdini's stomping-grounds as well. PS: punk that douchebag cop.

[ibreakkidslegs]

fucking broad. let the man speak

[Iansexy89]

She is a real shot host !!

[dan11009]

a blank bullet at that range would still put a hole in your head - she doesnt have a clue

[abigailsID]

that presenter is a bitch does she even know what blank bullets are...seriously..i feel so sorry for derren

[JCreal22]

shes a fucking moron !! so glad shes not on tv no more ! slag !

[TomCook24]

Much as it's always fair to question the reality of magic effects, she is obviously the sort of idiot who has control issues when seeing a magician perform, and can't handle the interplay between them.

[TW15TEDGAMING]

I hate how she calls him a conman, even though conmen do what they do for their own gain. Derren does it cos he loves wot he dus and to entertain. Silly woman.

[pixie631]

Dont be so hard on her she's just doin her job an I think she did a good job too just repeating what the press had said and challenging him whats wrong with that, after all Derren says he's a skeptic so ppl are entitled to be skeptical about him too its better than just believing everything he says and does an thinking everything he's does is wonderful cos it isnt

[dwallwin]

What a fucking retarded bitch...

[kaleluk31]

saying it was a bank bullet is stupid, at point blank range even a blank fire bullet will kill you

[rubygibbens]

i have no time for this women

[RobertNinja]

Bitch needs to get laid.

[mrsmodest]

Stupid fucking bitch.

[minifootyguy]

I hate that woman

[chiledofthekorn]

stupid fucking bitch

[marcusleonswadling]

Wow, Wish that gun had been against her head!

[MrAshski]

Woman is a bitch

[babyxdanii101]

At the start of the programme, Derren gets the guy to demonstrate the damage that can be done by a blank, So whether it was blank or not, if he'd cocked up, he'd have died!

[maryjo9389]

We should go on her twitter and insult her see how she likes it :( I felt really bad for derren compared to other magicians and 'psychics' he's really honest about what he does he tells everyone it's an illusion and done by psychological methods not down to supernatural power he certainly isn't a ' conman ' as she said he's not like Joe power he IS a dirty conman playing with people's emotions for money.

[brianboru2010]

shes obviously did'nt get a good ride that night

[InkingThePlan]

Whats with the presenter?

She keeps stressing how people thought they were fake. The bullets were randomely chosen by the member of the public and demonstrated on the bag during the russian roulette.

[loobyloo6890]

ummm even if they were blanks they would still kill at such a close range...tsk

[ttwalsh]

What a pathetic, sad, sorry woman she is. She obviously is inert of any sense or wonderment. What a staid and boring life that must be!! Derren has proved himself to be a truly remarkable illusionist, time and time again. What was her point on having Derren on the show, besides being mean spirited and condescending. She needs to go out and buy a vibrator!!

[savedbykatie]

Ughhh, what a fucking bitch! Derren is amazing, I feel so bad for him in the interview, hes trying to defend himself and she just keeps putting him down. Fucking bitch

[purewish]

Blanks are dangerous you idiot woman!

[stephNfatima]

why does she have to ruin it!

thanks for ruining my dreams bitch!

[stephNfatima]

Bitch !!! I hate her questioning Derren like that. So what if the bullets were blank he could of still killed himself be shooting a bullet directly into his Brian anyway! If hey were blank or not still both would have been fatal! I love Derren brown! He isn't a con artist! Con artists don't have there own shows or tours (which I'm going to) I hate her now!! -_-

[littlelaurence]

From his book 'Tricks of the Mind': "Thanks to Greg Day, my publicist : For looking after me, and for everything (apart from putting me on GMTV after 'Russian Roulette')."

Hahaha, don't blame him.

[chevalier577]

I agree what a fucking bitch she is. Derren is Brilliant

[Hex72]

What a stupid bitch, she's clearly aware that he calls himself a "psychological illusionist" yet still tries to prove him wrong? I don't even

[tulocco]

why are people attacking him as being a "con man" - whatever he does he does extremely well - no one lost any money through his magic tricks... poor derren!!! oh dear gmtv trying to label him a criminal!!!

[Lauraaarrrr]

what a bitch. Derren Brown is amazing.

[captinsparrow]

A blank fired anywhere within a 10ft average range would be a fatality shot. thats well known that blanks still have to be packed tight to get the bang. capped off with a waxed piece of paper wadding. this wadding still shoots out the same speed and ferociousness of a bullet! Love how cool derren is through all this though.

[tjalesis]

God this woman annoyed me, even a blank round can kill you. Look at the sand bag for instant, the guns officer there fired a blank round (and so did Derren) into the sand bags; it still punctured a whole in it from 4 or 5 feet away? It would have ripped his head of. Seriously, anyone who says this is a fake, go out and purchase a revolver and shoot yourself in the head with a blank.

[Missyilovepink]

she's rudeeee, idiot he's amazing

[1AStaRZ]

hang on didnt bruce lee's son die on the set of the crow from using blanks?

[katherinerachel]

Those 2 are just plain rude!

"Oh they were blanks"

So what! Why don't they try and shoot a blank to their head!!!

Absoulte idiots they are! Plus they couldn't stop talking!

It's an interview for goodness sake!

We still love Derren and GMTV is gone... GOOD!

[PurpleCrayon09]

'...so are you a psychological illusionist or are you a con man' i'm sorry, but that is just plain rude. She wasted no time in getting in their and attacking him with an accusation and he is damn right, 'magician does trick' is a stupid headline and she should get over herself. It's a trick and Derren admits that, he doesn't believe in people that say their illusions are real such as 'speaking to the dead' because he does not want to be a con man. Derren is the best illusionist ever and i'm 15.

[IloveDeppxxx]

@PurpleCrayon09 completely agree and im 15 too- almost 16 ;) he's a legend, I love the man to bits <3 xxx

[xxlubylouxx]

@PurpleCrayon09 couldn't agree more:)

[IloveDeppxxx]

Sorry everyone- God i needed to get that off my chest! Its all better now ;) xxx

[JHmagic1]

@IloveDeppxxx Derren always seems to make an effort to be charming. I think the presenter knows that trying to out him as a fake etc is better for T.V than just saying 'The show was good bla, bla...'

[IloveDeppxxx]

@JHmagic1 Yes, I suppose thats true and you're probably right :) I'm sorry but I really love Derren's work and this wasn't good tv for me :( I adore him and I dont want to watch her make him feel tense and uncomfortable- I would rather have seen a nice chat about it :( and I'm not saying dont ask questions or probe a little bit but she just seemed really rude and kept cutting him off? I mean thats just manners isnt it? Im sorry, it just really got to me and still does, I felt so sorry for him:(x

[williamn6133]

@IloveDeppxxx Don't worry, Derren Brown is a multi-millionaire by now, whereas that other girl has probably gone back to being a cleaner! :P

[IloveDeppxxx]

@williamn6133 Yeah lol ;) bitch! haha ;P

[IloveDeppxxx]

he repeats at least three times ( or attempts to) the fact that blanks could still have killed him and that this is all explained in the show. She would know this if she had even watched it. Heartless bitch. Everything he says seems to just wash right past her big blonde head and she just rudely cuts in on everything he tries to say and talks over him. Derren remains charming and mature as ever and is lovely as always. Also, whose to know the 'police officer' is genuine? Love you Derren :) xxxx

[magicrev]

@IloveDeppxxx That police officer is genuine. I'm born and raised in Jersey and this guy was the head of police at the time. However, the guy was/is a complete twat (in general, not just here) and at the time seemed to go out of his way to ruin Derren's stunt. Still, it was pretty amazing when i found out that, whilst I was shitting myself watching Derren do it on tv, it was all going on about 10 minutes from my house!

[IloveDeppxxx]

and also.. (im sorry I know I keep on but this video disgusted me) How can she be so cruel and immature to this lovely man? What a cold heart? He is a psychological illusionist. That is what he does. so whether or not, the bullets are live rounds or blanks, it doesnt matter. He is achieving an illusion and a brilliant, tense, memorable piece of television. Therefore, he has achieved his goal.

[IloveDeppxxx]

I know that it's a newsreaders job to probe but there really was no need to be so rude. She was talking as if she wanted him to shoot himself in the head. She really sounds like she hates him with a vengeance and is trying to make others hate him too. Well, it didnt work. Derren is a lovely genuine person and was so mature throughout this, as always. He always respects people and listens to them no matter how harsh they are or how much he disagrees. That is a true gentlemen.. and I see no lady.

[IloveDeppxxx]

What a stupid fucking bitch. It sounds like she didnt even watch the show??? If she had of then she would have known that a blank bullet could still do serious damage and would be lethal. haggard04 I agree with you I'd like to see her try it- and fail. Ohh and what a nasty evil look on her face when she spewed out those words- 'so your illusion has been kind of ruined now'. The nasty cow took great pleasure in that clearly.

[bubblet24]

I really admire Derren not once did he get angry and he still won the argument. Derren is pure genius and what he did was brillinant and it work since he didn't end up dead (even a blank would kill him a point range, as was explained on the show itself) I find this rather childish and strange , I don't know why they decided to question this when they have left most of Derren's other tricks alone, the seemed to have missed the point. It was a trick ,entertainment nothing more leave it be

[JHmagic1]

It was obvious Philipa was waiting for the point where she could say - "your illusion has be ruined now" She was briefed to keep plugging away at the whole 'it was fake, we know how it was done' line

[LeighHobnob]

@JHmagic1 Isn't her name Fiona? Jeez, I sound like such a typical YT dick for saying that!!!! I agree with your point though.

[Lambretta1995]

lol i find it funny how they obviously get quite annoyed that derren still managed to win the argument XD and what difference did it make wether it was blank or not, he pulled the trick off, maybe it would have made a difference if he had blown his brains out but he didnt lol, and if she knew anything she would know that at that range the blunt trauma alone could of killed him times over

[icemanisdangerous]

Derren is awsome philipa is a twat. nuff said.

[SamsStation]

God that women was awful

[zuruxkakyn]

don't bother, she's just a blond

[jw2456]

she brought GMTV down with her negativity

[Battlefolk]

Urgh... that horrible woman... Urgh... that spoilsport , unprofessional copper... Urgh... the arrogance of stupidity not knowing that blanks kill... let's face it... it's all 'Urgh'...

[pimpmymail]

At least he DID NOT blow a BLANK BULLET into his head, So he won

[xirishmagicx]

This woman was delightfully obnoxious and provoking since her job depends on how imaginative she can be. In order for her to do that, she would have to be quite child-like in so that she could completely remove all sense of reservation and boundaries. I can definitely appreciate her rather immature grasp of innocence and naively rambling about irrelevant questions. Only a toddler or teenager would be able to see through the beauty of the magic derren creates and would attempt to destroy it.

[irlegendz]

He puts a fucking gun to his head for our entertainment, and that is what he gets... Even a blank could blow your head open

[derrenvictorbrown]

That woman is a whore! No doubt!

[tebe2k]

This was probably the last Derren Brown video left on the internet that I haven't seen...unfortunately it has be in such a rage and now I have no "new" material to wash the taste out of my mouth with...

[derrenvictorbrown]

OMG...i didn't understand a single word they said..the volume is turned in the max..

however, that woman speaks like HELL!

Please..someone, shoot her for GOOD SAKE!

[NicholasKin]

He make his point! De did the Illusion Briliant best Showmanship ever, and all other sceptics are wrong, there was a sercet but not in the Gun...

One thing this was not a face stunt plus if the Buttet was indeed blank, the fire point is still deadly!!!!

[davyjames]

Wow. How nice of that police officer to just blab on national television something that is obviously private information.

[rockguitar2012]

I used to be in a cadet organisation where we did a lot of shooting on ranges and things, and we were always told that blanks can still injure people at close range (even fatally), so what Derren did on Russian Roulette, even if the bullets were blank, was dangerous and risky.

[haggard04]

stupid woman, even a blank could still blow his head off. I'd like to see her fire a blank straight into the top of her mouth if she thinks its so fake and harmless! Good on Derren, still my fave illusionist!

[SamsStation]

@haggard04 DERREN BROWN IS AWESOME!!! :D

[donudara]

fuck her, did they know blank shoot can blow his head out in that range (air pressure, energy travel and so many other elements), moreover what they missing is they are so desperate to explain the TRICK and they jest did the classic magic spectators respond come up with SOME THIN.

and it is classic example of donkeys in modern media. so sad.

[cartagia2]

What a raging cunt.

[ninamellow]

@cartagia2 my god that comment made me laugh! i agree with you though :D

[unbelonging]

OH MY GOD!!! I wanted to slap her, seriously. Poor Derren. I bet he was glad when that interview was over, bloody hell. Stupid woman >:o

[WhaddupMeg]

This is the reason he doesn't do tv interviews anymore. Ugh.

'I think we've covered everything' what? No you haven't

Derren was lovely considering

[XLadyClaireX]

Hell, if I was Derren I'd be wanting to stick a gun to Fiona Phillips's head by the end of this interview! I know she has to question everything he did in Russian Roulette etc, but she kept on interrupting him and doesn't seem to want to hear a word Derren had to say. I was overjoyed when she left GMTV. Frigging awful 'presenter'.
