I agree with Brad. The main problem is each FISM has a different producer and it seems no handover manual.

Nothing surprises me with FISM. Imo it's never about the talent. I bet any money the tea/coffee/drinks/refreshment room for FISM officers is the smoothest running thing there.

Holy shizer.... €230 + €563 + 80% of €563 = a whole shed load of money and a bloody expensive convention.

As far as I am aware those outside the Uk (like I am in Dublin) can watch these on 4OD (Channel 4 On Demand)
I know it certainly worked for me when I viewed some of Derren's shows after the fact. http://www.channel4.com/programmes/derr ... ecials/4od
Just a heads up.

I don't think it is strange at all.
Surely Derren and/or his producers wish for the show, given the type of show it is, to remain a surprise for audiences is honourable.
It is not like the show is going to be crap and they area afraid word of that will get out.
