Derren's Seance Most Complained About TV Ever!

31 August 2004

Yes that's right, Derren Brown's TV seance has officially become the most complained about television programme in the history of British television. Here's what Derren has to say about it:rn

It attracted some 700 complaints. I might add that the prospect of me blowing my head off on live television last year attracted only twenty. Fair enough, I suppose.rnAll bar about thirty of the Seance complaints were made before the show aired, mainly from Christians who felt that such a show would usher in demonic forces. One doesn't want to attack anyone's personal beliefs, but having been a Christian myself, I remember how wonderful it was to decide one was 'offended' by something: such a feeling allows one to hold ones head up high when one might feel otherwise outcast, and to bewilder others into a kind of apologetic stupor. Certainly much more rewarding than trying to take an objective look at the 'offending' matter: here, and generally elsewhere, some psychologically interesting charlatanism. Ho-hum.
