i've been a member of lovefilm.com for ages now...jolly good it is too...

but i didnt realise they streamed films and tv shows - if you're a member, you can watch the very, very first derren brown "mind control" episode...47 minutes long...when he had a maven style beard, wore more extravagant shirts and had spiky hair...

oh and he reveals the princess' card trick in the first minute...and speaks ever so slightly differently too....

Ah yes i remember that. I remember his accent too. Trying a bit too hard to sound mysterious i seem to remember.

Can't remember the rest of the episode, i just remember him revealing that trick, is it worth a look?

yeah, its not the same as the dvd they released, which was a kinda best of...

this was the very first ever show...

good fun so far...some i totally dont remember...

apart from the gorgeous Philipa, i remember her...

Had a hilarious incident with lovefilm. I used to subscribe to it's most expensive package until uni actually made me do some work.

Anyhoo - while I was away I got them sent to my Dad's house, and because I was expecting some important letter from the bank I asked him to open all the post that was for me and tell me about it over the phone. Imagine him reading it out, given that he'd never heard of the service or the film in question:

"We've got a credit card statement here, and, what's this, junk mail, and something else here... Oh. Oh, well. Erm. Yes. Well. It's er... something called "love film"... and er, they say you haven't returned a film... erm... something... Little... Miss... Umm... "Little Miss Sunshine", so, er, I don't know... hmm... what should I do with that... er..."

Priceless. When I'd stopped laughing I explained that it wasn't how it might seem
