I thought the programme was really interesting and I quite enjoyed it. I was worried that it might just over step the mark but I thought it handled things really well.

I guess that this sort of thing has been going on for as far back in history as you can get, there's always been money to be made from exploiting people's vulnerabilities and there have always been people doing just that.

Just got round to watching this. I thought it was rather good :) There seemed to be a real sincerety from the team, and I got the impression they really believed they were doing it for the right reasons. As others have pointed out it probably wont make any difference to those who are staunch believers. If it makes just one of them question a little more though, then it has served its purpose. Great show :)

I haven't seen this one. I just hope that mentalists over here will stop doing their Derren imitations one day.
And their Patrick Jane and Cal Lightman imitations aren't that convincing either.
That said, I would love to see the original again. I kicked my TV out several years ago, but perhaps youtube can help.

Nope, it isn't. The only thing we share with England is the lovely weather :p
