  • @peacenbkind you should actually listen to the interview mate, he stated clearly that hes not psychic so he will not beable to help anybody coz the ppl that claim to be psychic are fraud and derren brown debunk these ppl.

  • @peacenbkind Lol,hes very intelligent,but sorry friend psychics are just scammers.

  • Why the hell didn't they just use two cameras!

  • @MrRandomer1000 Cost and to keep it simple.

  • What I love about Derren is that he is honest about what he does in his experiments, not once does he claim to have any psychic ability

  • I bet Richard Dawkins really hates the History Channel

  • @bb330708 umm, why?

  • What happened to part 3?? Why have they made the other 5 epeisodes available?

  • @angizoink Channel 4 will make more money if you tune in and watch on tv, because they make more money through advertisement slots during the break than they do in any other way. Of course if they blocked all the episodes of derren brown on youtube, then you would'nt be as interested in derren brown and would just watch the footy or something else that has managed to grab your attention somewhere else (youtube). Don't be annoyed by it.

  • @br0dskalk That might be the stupidest statement I've read on youtube. Since is based on empirical evidence. Repeatable, verifiable, falsifiable experiments. Science is not based solely on theory. Theory posits explanations for natural phenomena. Theories are discarded if they do not conform to evidence. There is no supernatural dimension in science. Religion is based on dogma, authority and scripture. Nothing is based on evidence and the supernatural is central. They could hardly be different

  • @celtlen yes, seeing as religion is based solely on faith and not evidence. that is the key difference. doesn't get simpler than that.

  • @celtlen stupidest?

  • @D3c1ph3r In order that your points are comprehensible, it's generally helpful if you write in sentences. The only interpretation I can think of is that you are asking for the definition of stupidest but that would just be too deliciously ironic :)

  • @D3c1ph3r Yeah it's a word, but usually only the grammatically challenged would use it.

  • as long as sience decides to base itself on theories it is just another religion.

    scientists are priests, schools are their churches and we are just slave to their control.

    you might trust Science as you trust a God, but the priests will abuse your trust to control you.

    There is no difference, only your viewpoint. We need to stop trust in these powerstructures that we create and trust real people.

    use derrens tricks and apply it to science as well. its the same shit!

  • @br0dskalk Oh dear... The word theory does not have the same meaning in a scientific context as when used in everyday life. A scientific theory is formed after a long series of hypotheses are tested empirically. And if you don't know what those words mean, then you truly have no legitimacy in passing judgements on the authenticity of science. Derren uses scientific, empirical "tricks" as a tool to disprove spiritualists, and uses his psychological, cognitive knowledge in his shows.

  • Stop bitching about the camera angles. They did the same thing in the Wendy Wright interview and it was terrible because she kept fucking interrupting him every five seconds.

  • The Bible says Don't Test God.

    Science says Test Everything.

  • Comment removed

  • Even if you are not a scientist you MUST read the Selfish Gene. That book will teach you more about the living things than anything else you will ever read. It should be manadatory reading!

  • really! thats why part 3 is missing because of that!!

  • part 3 was amazing, the most amazing footage I have ever seen. Shame your in the 4 and its blocked

  • either sit them down and keep both men in a single shot, or buy a second camera and edit it together, just please stop walking from side to side.

  • Not as good as the stuff in the Mindreading Exposed ebook

  • I had an exact hit on me about my past and present ....where I did not say a one word or make any jester ....he had absolutely no way of knowing anything about me as he was picked at random at a psychic fair ..he was 100% accurate in his reading of me

  • @thisisafact I have a bridge to sell you. The spirits say you should really buy this. Stuff all the small unmarked non-sequential bills you can into a secure envelope and mail it t

  • omg you dont know what your missing episode 3 was hilarious,derren brown and richard dawkins for the full ten mins just ripped the piss out of channel 4

  • They talk about specific readings from psychics in part 3, they don't name names but do however go into specific details about the readings... maybe that's why it's blocked? I don't know, it wasn't blocked for me though. I just finished watching it.

  • uhhh, i watched part 3 just fine...

  • why was part 3 removed and not the rest

  • @ManCanThe they removed it? it said it wasn't availiable in my country. even though i live in the UK :/

  • @BeastlyDean yeah well thats what i mean they still removed it, im from the uk too but why remove one part out of six?

  • @ManCanThe lol yer, i dont understand it either. would've thought they'd remove all of them, or none at all.

  • It's hard to masterbate to this!!

  • he gets angry to his base rage when he cant access a memory check out his cues @5:34

  • >_> Channel 4 blocked Part 3 in the UK, that's just stupid.

  • @NawnExistent i know it sucksssss

  • @NawnExistent ireland too

  • @abolo1 Nothern Ireland is a part of the UK.

  • @NawnExistent that might be a way of trying to get you to buy the dvd lol

  • @NawnExistent

    Change your country (in ur user account settings to french, german, etc) and you will be able to view it as you're no longer UK. :-)

  • @Fraternity187 Thanks, I'll email myself from four months ago who used a proxy, so she doesn't use a proxy xD

  • @NawnExistent

    Lmao, took me 10 seconds.. but I got it eventually :P

  • @NawnExistent they blocked part 5 too -.-

  • Where are all the Spiritualist believers? Is anybody going to comment on this vid to refute its theme? I'd like you to please, because I want to feel very superior over pathetic, quivering jellies who can't face the fact that they're going to die, and so conjour up a comfort-blanket myth about the "Spiritworld". We superior people are better than them becuse we don't need that to get through life! I love lording it over these mystical believers! Frankly, it makes me feel rather sexually-aroused.

  • @benthejrporter Perhaps you should learn humility. Regardless if you're atheist or religious, secular or spiritual, being humble is always a good route to go too. There's no need to be rude, sir.

  • @sickness324 There's no NEED to be rude per se, but I just enjoy it! We Atheo-Skeptico-Materialists are a Superior Intellectual Elite and I intend to relish that status. Some might accuse us of wishful-thinking, indeed if it were ever proved that there was a Life-After-Death we would no longer be special; we would no longer shine out above the masses in the glorious way we do at the moment. But scientific proof can be made to... get mislaid, if you know what I mean ;-)

  • @benthejrporter I know what you mean lol, but I'm not a materialist per se. Well. i guess I'm an abstract materialist. But I am an atheist for the most part, if you don't include "religious" philosophy, i.e. Taoism and Buddhism etc. I don't endorse their religions, but I enjoy and love some of their principles.

  • @benthejrporter Ignorance is bliss.

  • @dujl They'll never know, and we will RULE!

  • @benthejrporter I admire your enthusiasm. :P

  • @dujl I can hear the marching feet of the armies of NUSSAR right now! The New Utopian Skeptical Scientific Atheist Republic will be victorious!

  • @richarddawkinsdotnet

    Why did Channel 4 block part 3/6 of this interview? I'm in England. :(

  • @Task5003 That's the scene where he says: "Richard, do you think we've got them fooled so far? I reckon so. Let's phone up David Cameron and tell him not to worry. The secret is still in the bag. Hopefully our cheque will be in the next post. I'll make the tea and we'll sit down and have a chat. I can feel that your great-great grandfather is close. He may want to come through in a minute."

  • 7:00 "ARE YOU HAVING A LAUGH??!"

  • A popular tv show that goes into places and finds ghosts.... turns out it was all staged.... Most Haunted by any chance!!

  • Put this sequence after the = sign in the URL:

    Y3Fkb-wxoas

    That brings you to a part 3 that works.

  • @drummerkid1993 Thanks for that. I didn't want to miss out on a whole ten minutes of this.

  • @drummerkid1993 Thank you for the heads up

  • Thank you for posting this, richarddawkinsdotnet.

  • Evidence-based studies have varying degrees of strength. It is up to us to crtically analyse them and draw our own conclusions. Too bad this generation is so superficial, defensive and stubborn to admit that although we know a lot, we just don't know enough "yet". Give it time and the answers will be revealed.

  • he was even hotter back in 2008...

  • psychics are just cuntz

    

  • I can't find part 3?

  • Part 3 is also uploaded here (not by me) - Y3Fkb-wxoas

  • I was once a medium now i'm a large. ;)

  • @dilwich123 I was large, now I'm 5XL...

  • @dilwich123 I was a Large now I'm a medium I guess I know who found the weight I lost :P

  • @dilwich123

    I'm giving you a thumbs up for that just for the courage of telling such a awful joke!

  • @m00nshine2004 Thankyou kind Sir :)

  • Pissed off a lot about part 3...2 English guys talking to each other and a British tv company prevent me watching it in England. WTF is that all about? Why am I having that censored from me?

  • @MrShannonite Go to 4OD one youtube ;)

  • @MrShannonite

    You can circumvent censors like that via proxy's. Just google youtubeproxy, copy the url into the box there and view the vid at your leisure.

  • @LordKilmir I'm not a big fan of proxy's unless I'm doing my hobby of scambaiting. For some dumb reason they screw up my system, but I'll take up someone elses suggestion of using 4od. Nice idea though, thank you :)

  • How can part 3 be blocked in Britain? Why just part 3 and why here? lol stupidness

  • they ban 1 part to break it up. they just cant allow to show the whole program they do it often with series on youtube, banning 1 or 2 parts, simply to split it.

  • Derek Acorah... Crawling around like a dog, thats all i'm seeing lol

  • BROWN + DAWKINS = EPICNESS

  • i just watched part 3 with no problem. Is it blocked in britain?

  • i'm surrounded by people who believe in all kinds of paranormal crap, and it's impossible to suggest a logical experiment to them, they deny that it would change anything or try and tell me that "you can't put everything into little boxes and understand it all."

  • I've uploaded part 3 at watch?v=Y3Fkb-wxoas

    =) Hope that helps.

  • Derren is one smart mofo, yo. We need more people like him, i know so many people who believe in astrology, chakrahs, alternative medicine and all that bullshit.

    You know what they say when i show them the faults in their logic? I'm just "not open" to it or i'm "blocking the energy"....WTF ever, sorry i don't have this urge to feel special.

    Fuck all these superstitious morons.

    Ricky D=mastah!!!

  • @sonykroket Same thing with Religion. Christianity for E.G, 'Any proof of god?' 'Yes, proof is in the bible ;).' :D

  • @irlegendz

    Yea and Spiderman exists because New York exist or crappy logic like that. WTF is wrong with people yo

    LOL

  • This Derren Brown character is a pile of charm.

  • @jerryhello100 I really love this description.

    Made me smile :)

  • i used to think Derren Brown was just another magician. Oh how wrong i was

  • @Neall07 he is a magician, but he is a genius. he memorised the entire dictionary page numbers, and whats on those pages, he knows where a roulette ball will land. the man is a god among magicians

  • Channel 4 are so cheap they didn't want to shell out for another camera man. 

  • I'm pretty sure I just watched part 3.

  • @LTDGuitars420

    So am I.

  • Part 3 remove () :

    videohippy.c(o)m/video/159597/­Derren-Brown-Interview-36--Ric­hard-Dawkins

  • If you google derren brown and dawkins interview part 3, theres a site called videohippy and it's got part 3. Might help some of you?

  • @Js5s141 Thank you so much for your tip, Js5s141. :)

  • @Js5s141 anything good in it?

  • The cameraman gets so shaky because Derren is hypnotizing him

  • You're a good man, Derren Brown.

  • I am guessing part 3 has been removed after a legal challenge for slander. They probably use someones name. I say this as it is missing from Richard Dawkins website and channel 4.

  • Maybe i should do this incase it gets blocked aswell, but search: Derren Brown i Richard Dawkins cz.3/6 (PL ) for part 3

  • Maybe i should do this incase it gets blocked aswell, but search: Derren Brown i Richard Dawkins cz.3/6 (PL ) for part 3

  • @sbrookes1991 you are a hero

  • derren always nods his head... seems kinda neurotic

  • @antonloo so dawkins agrees with every word he says, probly to sell tickets

  • @Kdajrocks lol no its because its obviously what he believes himself, let me guess..you believe in spirits or you're a creationist?

  • @Kdajrocks - Sell tickets for what? this is a TV interview

  • @antonloo I think it's a tic he developed that started as a small signal he used as a persuasion technique and then became involuntary. I could be wrong, but i think I read that in one of his books.

  • @Mixomoxim tht is true. the reason he doesnt drive is because when the driving instructor wasnt looking, he would see how long he could close his eyes and drive for!!!! also, he would lean so far back on a balcony, one slip... and tht would be the end.

  • Why exactly is the previous video (part 3/4) blocked, but all the others aren't??

  • Derren Brown is absolutely right in what he is saying here- I agree with him 100%. The one thing that kind of bothers me is that he uses many of the techniques he disparages here in his own show. For example, when he "predicted" the lottery- he most likely just used a camera trick (look up Derren Brown lottery for more info). He obviously didn't predict the lottery numbers, and he conveniently only showed his prediction after the numbers had been called for "legal" reasons. A bit of a hypocrite.

  • @maximum411 but then he does say its always a trick, and he cant actually predict anything. I think its a bit different to saying you can, adn asking for money for it, especially when the thing you claim to be able to do involved peoples feelings.

  • @Jonz6661

    Oh he said it was a trick on the show? That is different then- I'm ok with that.

    Yes I think psychics, fortune tellers, and priests are just peddlers of false hope.

    Fortune tellers and psychics can be fun if you don't take them seriously but they are dangerous to those who do.

  • im so glad for torrents @channel 4 ...

  • them dam channel 4 content searching trolls...

  • @katie5557 No... even on the RD webpage channel 4 have blocked part 3. If someone has seen the 3rd part, can they kindly please aid all others interested in viewing this material. Don't just say you've seen it and not help others.

  • Part 3 is blocked in my country by channel 4 WTF!? I live in the UK who are they reserving part 3 for? Uganda?

  • why is only part 3 blocked??

  • Totally agree with what Derren says about it being 'unfashionable' to be rational and scientific. It worries me

  • @pigeonkid4 true say, definitely worrying

  • I could listen to these two talking forever; both very great, inspiring people.

  • @thatamazinggeek Weird, I think I've watched a few different atheism videos today (not just this interview but other stuff about creationism and religion, fox news etc) and I'm pretty sure I seen your name written down somewhere.....I think anyway

  • Fuck you ch4, true colours shining through from the top brass of ch4 ehh...

    A channel that once apon a time was ahead of profits and more about disclosing good tv now just a sheep. Everyone one say bahhh with me... Bahhhh

  • Comment removed

  • @thatamazinggeek lol yeh i hate the sort of "artsy" way they have to film interviews and docos nowadays, reallt annoying!

  • I've been having fun looking up my local psychics (e.g. via google maps). One offered this hilarious caveat: "Please do note that I do not feel that gifted at finding lost items. I have in the past, and I'd love to help, but that is not my forte."

    He must be a real psychic; his 13 yelp reviews are all 5-star reviews. :-)

  • see Derrens head twitch when he is recalling things?

  • Well its very possible they said something that channel 4 could be sued for that they had to cut out. just the way it goes sometimes

  • @xxearthangelxx any idea where to see part three? very interested to see it now you said that! damn copyright nazis

  • @TheMightyEuan I've looked on every possible website pertaining this interview, and without hacking there is no way Ch4 will let us view the video.... Hmmm think i might call some people ;)

  • @xxearthangelxx haha send me a reply mate if your contacts help you out ;) i'm interested how you hack into channel 4!

  • @xxearthangelxx

    I got here via Richard Dawkins website. and have seen Part 3.. why dont you try it?? After all why would you believe anything if it wasnt on HIS website.

  • hhahaha i know the show he's talking about most haunted stupid british show...my 6 year old brother doesnt even believe in it

  • Wow, think I'll become a psychic. Sounds sweet. Sheep are made to be sheared.

  • I want part 3 ! Meh !

  • this is derren brown is conning people off now, hypocrit

  • @twentyletternamesftw The difference between Deren Brown and the other psycics is that he TELLS you that he is using techniques and not gaining his powere from the supernatural.

  • hmm i can see part 3 no problem, i'm watching this in australia.

  • don't be so poo faced! -Richard Dawkins

  • Comment removed

  • @Teabhagdad It hasn't, actually. It's just a part of the conversation. I'm not being blocked - and I'm in Finland. Curious...

  • @Born28thMay DAMN YOU FOREIGNER!! lol. Just joking :)

  • You can't say "Oh- it's just a laugh", because if it was admittedly fictional, it would cease to be interesting. The reason shows like that are well regarded is because a lot of people think they're real.

  • wtf am from Britain let me view part 3

  • channel 4 bastards. should have gone through the BBC much better.

    foot; both these chaps are spectacular, bravo!

  • @dobsonone well done, well done (*clapping, standing ovation)

  • Lol! Part 3 blocked but not the others. Very clever channel 4, very clever.

  • Why can't I see part 3 in my country (England)? It's a pity as I'm enjoying these.

  • I think that part 3 deals with where they both admit that they are completely indoctrinated into some major religion, and really think that everything has a divine origin. So we aren't allowed to see it. Ha ha.

  • ARGH!!!!! Stop blocking the energy!

  • Well it would have been nice to see part 3. WTF channel 4.

  • Comment removed

  • why is youtube blocking part 3

  • obviously someone broke into the studio, took the chairs and cameras save for one that was strapped to some guy's head

  • Comment removed

  • Thanks so much for this! HILARIOUS!

  • 6:37 lmao

  • it aint the full uncut interview if youtube/ch4 has fuckin blocked part 3 is it!!!

  • @captainj84 Ha ha! - I was just thinking that! - "Channel four blocked the video for the UK?" - We MADE channel four!! lol.

  • @captainj84 yeah, fuckin c4 can eat balls

  • @captainj84 Just taking out the one par*IS* strange. I saw Part 3, and there was nothing in it that seemed out-of-place or wrong for broadcast. This is just two men talking about a kind of theater, really - pretty tame current affairs stuff.

  • @salvagebar The idea is to stop people watching the whole thing. Market research has shown that if you let someone watch something and then cut a part out - that person would be so irritated because they will want to watch the missing part. The only way that person can watch the missing part is when the owner decides to show it - IE Channel 4. It's simply a way to get more viewers.

  • @manchesterfellow Fair enough. I can see why some people are upset. For what it's worth, there was nothing particularly different or insightful in the missing part - it's not like Derren performs some show-stopping trick in those few minutes. You have 90% of the conversation, the missing part is nothing special.

  • @captainj84 are you from the netherlands? :)

  • @Brucy6666 scotland my friend, the home of the brave (and alcoholics)!!!!

  • @captainj84 it was beforehand. forgive the uploader for being unable to travel back in time.

  • @6hundred3score6 jeez i had to travel back in time to remember what my comment was! My comment was a mere observation and if it was blocked beforehand then why has he tagged it as "full uncut" when it obviously is not full or uncut?

  • fuck you channel 4
