Thanks Kolm, had not spotted this!

its also repeated next weekend, as part of the incredible Derren Brown night.. If Derren was a chocolate, we would all be Diabetic by the end of the shows on that night

Or even if you have seen it live...

This will be my fourth viewing now. I'll probably be nudging Colin and saying "I know what comes next" all the way through.

I'll definitely be tuning in. It's always interesting to see how much differs from when I saw it live.

Well, I saw it live three times and every time was different -- not just because it was live and used different spectators, etc., but the show itself had been tweaked and remodelled. I'm guessing the TV version was filmed right at the end of the run when everything was in its final form.

I saw it during the first year and then again during the second year, several aspects had changed whilst others seemed to flow more smoothly. A couple of items seemed over laboured but that was mainly due to one or two of the specs involved not understanding what they had to do. It was mentioned several times on DB's site that the show would evolve and develop depending on audience reactions so it's to be expected that each showing could be different. The TV version was recorded towards the end of the run so it'll be interesting to see what's different about it. I guess there will be some necessary editing to fit the show into TV timeslots.

I saw this right at the start of it's run so I'm looking forward to seeing the TV version and how it changed.

Ad break...after 6 minutes.

by **Beardy** » Jan 6th, '11, 22:54

The editing on the show so far is horrific...way too fast paced and 2 breaks already!

I know they have to fit a 2 and a half hour show into 80 minutes but half the time it doesn't even seem like he is taking a breath.....

If this carries on into the second half then it will probably ruin the bulk of it, as the point is that it is very slow and tense!

by **daleshrimpton** » Jan 6th, '11, 22:54

blooming anoying camera work.. and another fricken add break. One between each effect? WHY!!!

( I wish they would stop showing the same open mouthed spectator over and over again.. I want to watch Derren. Not some bint with an expensive perm)

by **Beardy** » Jan 6th, '11, 22:57

No way.....they cut the tin foil routine?

Well...I suppose the second half *is* a long one...and they have to cut a lot...

Can I just say that this tour is so much better - he has really ironed out the kinks, and the main issue with his finale as been "solved" as well.

He has changed a few methods, and made it much cleaner. In my opinion, this is now a potential rival for his best live stage show, whereas before I believed it to be his worst.

So anybody who hasn't seen it yet, I would recomend it, and anybody who saw it last tour, it wouldn;t be a waste of money to see it again!

The fact that I got called upon to help out made it a good laugh as well. Needless to say he kept banging on about my being a sex pest from the random words that I said when asked to say random words!

by **Beardy** » Jan 7th, '11, 00:08

I still love that finale

by **kolm** » Jan 7th, '11, 00:12

How can you not love that ending? More than makes up for any weak bits!
