Yes indeedy. You heard it here first. Unless you read Broadcast.
Can you honestly imagine anything – anything – more anus-invertingly unpalatable than this? I hate myself for drawing attention to it. “The shows were ordered by Sky 1 HD commissioning editor Clare Hollywood, who will also executive produce. Steve Regan and Melanie Leach exec produce for Twofour.” And we salute them for it.
So proud to be in telly.

"
“anus-invertingly unpalatable”…couldn’t have put it any better myself, Derren!
The comments on the article aren’t exactly encouraging, are they? lol
Dearie me……. words totally fail me sometimes that anyone could think that this is something people would want to see (Jacko fan or not, and I was).
LC x
I think I just vomited a little in my mouth.. Easy pay day for Acorah, I suppose… Hot reading for the win?
Quite puke inducing indeed, but I’ll be the first to hold my hands up and say I’ll probably Sky Plus it….. Don’t judge me. x
Please tell me this is some kind of bullshit rumour
First of all, don’t beat yourself up about posting this Derren. Just dwell in the fact that in your life, you will never sink as low in life as this asshole has at this very moment
But seriously, haven’t his family have any say in this? Fecking hell, if anyone tried to do that to the memory of anyone in my family (granted, no-one in my family is or was an international superstar), I would flip out.
This is almost as bad as John Edward pissing around after 9/11.
What a twat.
dear oh dear, mr murdoch excels himself – thankfully, I don’t have sky or even a tv for that matter. car crash telly.
Surely even Michael ‘intuitively’ said: ” This is it! ” – right?
I predict a law suit in the near future.
I think this is a good thing. If enough disgust can be stirred up by the very prospect of this programme being made, then maybe the disgust will amplify in the event it is broadcast. Maybe if the response is vocal enough people will realise how sick the whole concept of TV mediumship actually is and the fuckers will get booted off ours screens altogether.
And come on, you just know Acorah won’t be able to resist a ‘channeled’ moonwalk…
Oh my god…..this cant be right surely!!
What kind of sick **** has thought this one up!!
Just when you think you’ve seen it all..
.
da fuck?
Oh come on now. Seriously??!
Just proves how the gene pool is slowly moving the numb-arsed Kyle-watching fellow ‘humans’ far far away from the civilised. Acorah lives near us, might start asking difficult questions.
oh god. this makes me wanna smack my head off the wall.
Bird are gonna fly
Fish are gonna swim…
o_e
I hope my family wouldn’t go that far If I died,
geez, is he just going to make the whole thing up then.. idk I used to believe in that stuff but who knows hmm
x
Oh my god :/
Thats not right…
Utterly sick.
Oh dear…
At least you can’t deny that it won’t be entertaining, what with Derek Acorah conducting the seance. I hope Sam pulls through for him – lol!
Definitely threw up in my mouth a little bit there.
Oh now THAT just puts your faith back in humanity.
**stabs self in eye**
Derek Acorah may be an incompetent lying arsepellet, but he is STUPENDOUS entertainment. He comes out with such crap.
“i feel she fell…fell facially.”
My personal favourite quote.
I can just picture it: “Sam… Can you say that again, Sam? I think… I think it’s a … ‘hee-hee, AOW!’?”
Also, wasn’t he fired from that excuse for a reality TV show Most Haunted for being a fraud?
HMMM
Noooo it’s got to be a PR stunt. Get everyone talking about him again. A statement will be released saying it is a hoax before the day is nigh!
What an absolute twat indeed…
The very concept makes you want to “hurl chunks” doesn’t it?
That’d be an interesting test for my gag reflex. What a appalling and disgusting circus that’ll be.
Still, as in all the best films, somebody’ll swallow it.
that’s disgusting, poor micheal.
Derek Acorah, as in the spoof-spooky who got sacked from Most Haunted for being a spoof-spooky?
I’m so glad I don’t contribute on a monthly basis to Murdochs coffers.
Although I’ll probably find a way to watch the show, just so I can point at the screen and shout “ARSE!” a lot.
Right ok. Do people not realise this man is a total fraud?? Good god!! He a bloody fool and so full of S**T he cud sell it as fertilliser and make millions.Also when will they just let mj rest in peace. Rahhhhhhhh i could rant all day about this haha!!xx
To the guys who dreamt up this total nonsnese: You may have been the fastest sperm – but you’re brain capacity hasnt developed since. One word for this tripe – FAIL..
Millions of people will watch this; it will be hugely successful.
I can’t blame Sky in the slightest for showing it.
I can however blame immaculately coiffured, vile charlatan Derek Acorah for being an utter c**t.
It’s just a shame it’s not Colin Fry he’s chanelling from ‘the other side’ … That I’d watch.
Oh now THAT just puts your faith back in humanity.
**stabs self in eye**
Haha, could’nt agree more
That Derek is a right tit, I only know this from channel hopping once and stumbling across a programme with him on it, looked like he was about to orgasm when infact he was “apparently” invoking some spirits lol
Wasn’t Acorah outed as a fraud on Most Stupid…sorry..Haunted?
Good grief what a load of tosh. I hate that man anyway and I don’t think he could sink any lower… at least I hope not… he might try a Princess Diana seance… oh cripes I hope I didn’t just put ideas in his head. Ick.
I’m now chuckling at the the thought of Derek spoof-spooky Acorah shouting “SHAMONNNNN! mo’fo” whilst moonwalking through Neverland as the spirit of MJ possesses him
Now i am going to really fly off the handle here. As a professional mentalist and bizarre magician i know what tricks and little games are played by these so called “Mediums”. They are simply trash of the lowest order who deserve nothing more than a long spell in prison. The vile Acorah is a simple conman who, to be honest, is not that good at this job anyway.
I hope the Jackson family take action against this stupid moron and his web of lies. You people are being ripped off by these ‘mediums’ so do not fall for it.
If this were a script it would fail to get comissioned on the grounds that the satire is too ridiculous. I love it!
Come on Derren, there’s a shortage of good comedy programmes on the telly nowadays, give him a chance …..”Most Haunted” makes me laugh every time
Oh dear, just as I thought tv could get no worse…
So glad we have people like you about Derren, it’d be a lot worse without you! Someone who speaks sense!
Obviously the Jackson clan haven’t watched the Youtube classic “Mary loves Dick” or they’d know just what they were letting themselves in for in our Derek!!
Jesus shit. Michael was a person with feelings, not a money tree. Even now he’s dead there are a bunch of worthless vultures desperate to exploit his name. Pathetic.
Nobody watch this programme – go watch the video for MJ’s ‘Ghosts’ instead, truly epic.
This has gone to far. All these psychic mediums; Derek Acorah, John Edward etc. are total frauds. They seek success based on exploiting people’s grief, beliefs and desires to learn more. They have exploited the grief of many people over the years by claiming to get in touch with their loved ones (when they’re actually cold reading) and now they are exploiting the grief of the whole damn world by claiming to get in touch with a such a beloved icon! Any self respecting MJ fan should boycott this (if it happens) on principle and respect.
Next it’ll be some idiotic “Finding Jacko’s Ghost” thing at Neverland Ranch…
I think I’d rather perform a personal spleen transplant using kitchen utensils….
This just makes me want to push my finger through my eye, into my brain, and swirl it around……
Rot in pieces
OMG! Derek Acorah???? If they’re going to engage in these activities, they could at least pick someone a little more convincing. Like maybe Frankie Howerd back from the dead dressed in a Donnie Darko bunny costume…
Hmmm didn’t Jackson have a good friend called Kreed Kafer? Someone mention this around Derek…
Oh hang on …
Do you think he’ll do the voice? I guess it can’t be any more cringe inducing than his wake. When Derek Acorah dies I want Derren to do his seance.
Every day, *every day*, we get one step closer to that reality TV show they have in The Running Man called “Climbing For Dollars” whose format is this;
There is money at the top of a rope.
The rope is slippy.
There is a pack of savage dogs waiting to maul you to death when you fall from the rope.
God help us all.
Jees thats just’s just made me feel a bit sick. Can’t anyone just leave the poor guy alone! I actually can’t watch any of Acorah’s stuff because he’s so obviously making stuff up and hoping he gets it right.. I feel sorry for the people who are taken in by his act.
I think I’ll pass on watching this one..
Rach xxx
Ok… So many jokes can be made about this…
“Referring to the rumours of a secret lovechild, The Kid Is Not My Son.”
I might watch it, just for the entertainment of it, to see what he comes up with…
Hmmmm…
Now a channelled moonwalk would be worth tuning in for! How silly! I agree with Louisa – publicity stunt. But then if it generates enough publicity it’ll prob be aired anyway.
Haha Mell! My personal favourite was Colin Fry:
“I’m getting a feeling around the number six…either this person is, or has been, six”
Yeah, kinda weird timing since Derek has a new show right about now…
I cannot believe that humanity has stooped this low! What’s next, Elvis and JFK?!!!
He was fired from Most Haunted due to being a fraud and being fed information before the show was recorded! And how come it doesn’t matter whether it is a man or a woman, English, French, etc, that contacts him, they always have a Scouse accent?!
My fave quote – Mary loves dick!!!
I so hope this is not true…what a wanker
I won’t say more to give you the satisfaction…just hmmm
This is worse than when they paid that pig-wanking woman for shagging David Beckham then blabbing about it. Crap like this is why great shows like “Britain’s Drunkest Slags” got cancelled!!
Im reading this story now, and Im filled with absolute disgust and horror. However (and this is what makes it even more horrifying for me,) if I’d been presented with this story just over a year ago, I probably would have said it was a great idea! (And it makes me gag to admit that, so be kind!) You’d think someone like Derek Acorah would instantly be recognised as a fraud by everyone; but when you have such faith in something like spiritualism, its blinding. You’re convinced that no one would ever do something so awful as lie to a group of grieving people about contacting their loved ones. Then of course, I got my wake up call (I think you can guess who I have to thank for that
) and thoroughly kicked myself. People who believe in mediums aren’t stupid; they just don’t know any better.
This is the scouse to expose!… Remember the most haunted episode?… “I’m getting something through ivvy, Fanny loves Dick, Fanny Loves Dick, FANNY LOVES DICK”… Timeless comedy from the fraud that is Acorah
Its entirely just to make money, make everyone start to talk about it again, and so they want to buy one of the hundreds of cruddy books about him.
Anyway, definately will not be watching that, thanks for the heads up and warning us not to flick to Sky 1 HD in the near future.
This is just disgusting. Honestly, it’s bad enough there are plenty of frauds scalping happy go lucky people and trampling all over their memories.
He’s not even a *good* cold reader!
It’s a total travesty that he still has “believers” and “followers”, everyone on the production crew knew he was a fraud from the beginning. He’s up there with Uri “bend my fingers” Geller. Poor taste indeed.
Don’t worry Derren, your works on proving these people as shams has not gone unnoticed. Looking forward to “The Science of Scams”.
“Michael… Michael is that you…oh wait Annie… where’s Michael?….oh right….so Annie are you okay? are you okay? are you okay Annie?”
Cheap pot shots
Dear Darren i cant believe the kind of human been has thought this one up!! Make me sick .
just…..just…………………………..oh…………….my…………………..god!
Can’t believe this is for real!
My mate and I went to one of his shows to have a titter at the annoying little fraud and his invisible friend. Having been a bit of a fan of Most Haunted up to that point (“Mary loves Dick! Mary loves Dick!”) we started off in fits of laughter at his attempts to find someone to claim the ghost of an alsatian that had wandered on to the stage…
But in the second part of the show, “Derek’s question time” we really got to see how mean he was to the people desperately trying to contact those they’d recently lost.
*Shudder*
Why do I think the woman on the right has a handbag that resembles a rabbit
I have rabbits on the brain
Acorah, same as the rest, is a charlatan. He’s not even a good one.
Still, it might be funny watching him pull faces and shout “Jamon”, maybe even attempt a moonwalk.
I have no doubt ‘Michael’ will come through with a scouse accent as they all seem to do when Acora is involved, I would rather believe Jennifer L-H in Ghost Whisperer above anything Most Haunted has thrown out at me.
I read about this on my Sky homepage and couldent believe my eyes! Never have I heard of somthing sooo disgusting in my life.
Oh no… if this is true it will be so scary, I don’t want to see Derek Acorah ‘possessed’ by the spirit of Michael Jackson…. that’s two lots of frightening I can’t handle… Derek Acorah groping himself…. I…I…I
…. D:
Im sorry but I feel sorry for Sky she lost her dad but still HE IS DEAD!
Of course, we all know for sure that this is completely sincere and not degrading to fans in the slightest.
Seriously though, I’m no Michael Jackson fan but come on! This will not be thrilling in the slighest. Nope, not a Thriller at all. No Thrills here.
Considering everyone in the world knows that everything Acorah done whilst on his previous series was fake, how can they seriously be considering him for this?! Everyone considers the man to be a fake – whether he is, or not!
ffs! Nxt thing will be Yvonne fielding doing a seance for stephen gately.
Of course, we all know for sure that this is completely sincere and not degrading to fans in the slightest.
[/sarcasm]
Seriously though, I’m no Michael Jackson fan but come on! This will not be thrilling in the slightest. Nope, not a Thriller at all. No Thrills here.
Surely this is some kind of hoax? Not even Sky could possily stoop this low?
Appalling
(Scouse accent) “Michael loves dick”- anyone?
jeeze….i expect Derek will be posessed at some point…funny how whenever he is posessed, no matter what era the person is from, or indeed what area, they always come through sounding Liverpudlian….spooky!
this takes the piss!, what is the world coming to when this shit can make it on the telly?. more fool the people who watch it…..
so what… like a thing where MJ’s spirit is communicated? Disrespectful, however, incredible if it works. And it would put a lot of rumours and ‘who did what’ at rest. Hmm…
lol, Obviously hes going to make contact otherwise it wouldnt be a very good show would it.(if it takes place)
He could make up anything he likes to say. Religin hock-thooo (spits), pisses me off. id love to be on tv with a medium under cover, agree with them, then tell them i was lying to show them up.
Get the amazing James Randi on Derek Acorah`s case after its been done lol
Hmmmmmm finding that hard to take in!!
OMFG I sincerely hope I’m out of the country when this is on the telly, I fear I may be strangely tempted into watchin the pile of poo if I’m in the UK
This is so wrong on so many accounts. It’s an insult to Michael Jackson’s family. Let the guy rest in peace FFS. Secondly not only are they having a seance for MJ but to have such an awful amateur like Acorah leading the seance adds insult to injury. Speaking to the dead is such bullshit and yet again it’s pushed and promoted through tasteless vehicles like this one. When is the world going to heave it’s superstitious ass into the 21st century. All said, how many of us will watch this?? I dread to think.
WTF!?
Oh my God. Oh. My. God.
als;kdfjasd;lfjk;adjsfadsfj;asd43q53j4r5kl;34j5lkq34htkajer
Derren you have to stop this somehow please I beg you I shall give you £1,000 please please please I know that’s prob like a penny to you but please please I’ll give it to you anyway PLEASE STOP THIS :’(
aw my god!!, ive just looked up who Derek Acorah is… hahaha
I was just laughing at the point of a seance, but him doing it?!
the stupidity is so agrovating itself. lol
This is totally disrespectful and stupid.
Poor Michael only died this summer and its cruel on his family and everyone else who loves him.
Show some darn respect derrek!
Its all FAkE anyways
so whats th point!
GrRRR im angry now!
Mr Acorah is one of the least convincing psychics ever to strut around in faux-crocodile skin boots! The most endearing thing about him is the hilarious spectacle he makes of himself when he ‘channels’ some long dead entity who’s only probable reaction to his presence would be to slowly start rotating in their long forgotten grave.
Watch Yvette Fielding trying not to corpse in this clip. lol
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUvKFWl6nKE
I’m sure Mary does, but don’t shout it to the world!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3x_JUHDYZ0
/Sigh
It just goes to show what kind of culture we’re turning into, when people will happily sit and watch the crap that drivels out of Derek Acorah’s mouth. This will be TV at a new low
SKY – For those times when Chanel Five is too high brow.
Derren
You make me laugh.
Your eloquence is astounding.
On a seperate yet related note, I have just spent the afternoon watching one of your mind trick shows bit of a treat really especially after a cumbersome morning…
Reema x
Maybe C4 could ask you to do a programme to reveal the secret of how Acorah can look people in the eye and tell them he’s an honest man? It would be the greatest feat ever shown on television.
Well all I can say is that my daughter says there is a sign outside our church that says :
“Save AssHoles ”
And I sit here and think Derren is so right – Who would want a collection of Derek Acorah’s ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Should be fun for a laugh…
Considering I don’t believe MJ is actually dead.
Ha! Just finished reading Tricks Of The Mind and the part where you met old Derek!
Bet you wish you had given him a slap now!
Didnt think it would take long for something like this to happen…….what a joke!
What a load of wank. I’d like to read Acorah his future. The buffoon. Actually, I take it back, a wank at least serves a purpose. Acorah, blah, bloody air stealer.
Si
I think Michael is best left uncontacted. But it may be rather comical if Derek was to be ‘possessed’ by him
Wondering if he will get possessed, i would personally love to see him doing the moonwalk haha
Sarahx
So unbelievable and disgusting!
Don’t beat yourself up for posting it Derren.
Whoever thought this was good idea of making a mockery out of someone’s suffering and the pain and loss – well they themselves are truly sick.
This makes me feel uncomfortable and sick too.
Take care Derren. XXXXXXXXXX
I am positive that you could do a far better job than old ‘Mr Fake Tan’ man Derek.
Probably a good idea for a new show?
And this will be on for 2 shows as well!
@Chelsea – I was trying to think up how to do a MJ impression in words but couldn’t think of the right ones to describe him! Loved yours!!
But how many of us are STILL going to tune to this out of morbid curiosity???
LC x
I read this earlier and couldn’t believe it. I work in tele too and this will indeed be shameful tele-trash – but sadly will get very good ratings (which are increasingly the be all and end all).
And sorry to dash the hopes of all those posters predicting it is some sort of publicity stunt – it is in Broadcast, the industry magazine, with named execs – it will happen.
I cant ACTUALLY believe this is happening. Derek will never live this down
Saw him in his local tesco recently, I had wonderd why he was moonwalking on the conveyor belt.
Great, more TV for morons, just what we need.
What a waste of money and time! How is that fraud still working in TV?? I’d pay NOT to see that
it gets worse lol
Oh. My. God.
Although, will more than likely watch it, if for no other reason than to see Derek get *possessed* by the spirit of Michael Jackson. Should make for interesting viewing, for sure. Derek Acorah moonwalking, LMAO. Wonder if a sparkly white glove will mysteriously manifest itself during said seance…
Should have got Derren to do it instead! LOLOLOL
in the words of the great stephen fry this is arse gravy
“anus-invertingly unpalatable”…
derren, you certainly have a way with words…but also a very very strange mind :p
can’t believe that’s happening :p IT’S A LIE
…recently watched the messiah so im well informed haha
much love xx
I think that michal jackson will sing all of his song and then he will moonwark down from heaven and then he will release a new albiums of songs even better than thriller or bad and then he will zoom back in to heaven but also i dont not believe that michle jaclson is dead anyway he is on an island with elvis presley, marylin monroe and madonna. also i fink that derren brown is a magaician and i saw his on th etelly and i thought to myself BLIMEY hes not good i can do all his trick anyways and then i had my tea it was drumsticks
Surely he can’t compete with Ike Broflovski????
that is the most excruciatingly ridiculous thing i have ever heard. It is wrong on so many levels!!!
Ratings is what the business executives think about……that’s just the name of the game. The people have the power to switch on or turn off. I think curiosity will lead most to turn on.
It could actually be a very funny scenario. (I have a very strange sense of humour.)
But i dont understand! why would people believe in that when you have proof that its all a trick??????? I am a psychology student. and practically everyone in my class believe in that. and there is no way to even make them question it!! they have such a strong faith on the matter!! of course society and religion has a big part to play in that…….but it still annoys me like hell that they wont even consider anything else!! just blindly follow! makes me sick! and even if some do question, its in the other bloody direction!! and yeah, thats psychology students in a university im talking about!!
ANUS-INVERTINGLY UNPALATABLE? im laughing my ass off!! ur sooooooo funny!!! i love ur humour!
having worked with both you and acorah as a theatre technician i know which one of you is permanantly anus invertingly unpalatable and its not you
couldnt of put it better myself. we genuinly had a medium at our theatre whos show had to be cancelled due to unforseen circumstances, i never laughed so much but management wouldnt let me put that on the posters.
this is just a rumour but ive heard micheal asks everyone to buy his new single
i’m getting a word…. does it begin with s…..sounds like shh….. shamon!… does that mean anything?
As I said on facebook: I can imagine him “Channeling” Leigh Francis’ Michael Jackson!
Surely channel 4 can commision you to do a show at the same time about cold reading and frauds, and see how many people turn over in the first 5 minutes.
Please =D
Oh dear oh dear oh dear.
When is it on?????
When Derek gets stuck, he tends to start “trance-attacking” people – but there’s no way he’ll be logically able to do this while channeling (a pacifist like) MJ ?
What a dillema ! ….he might have to start earning his money with this one !
I will be bitterly disppointed if this seance does not include some lavish musical number.
I may watch this simply because it will be disgusting cringey, and I have a morbid curiosity and would love to see how much of a tit he makes himself out to be.
And I’ll be using the phrase “anus-invertingly unpalatable” as often as I can! x
I’m from the same area as Derek acorah, but i think he is a lying PRICK! excuse the language, it was said in the paper a couple of years ago. i bet Derek will start by saying ” Sam tells me there’s a Michael Jackson with us does that mean anything to anyone, if so give me £1000 and I’ll tell you more”. then he’ll act like he is possessed. then he will finish with a moon walk. Michael was a great man, Derek should be ashamed of himself. FUCKING FRAUD!!!
the best. ever. how can you not trust a man who has an ethiopian spirit guide called sam? ax
these people are sick in the head full stop
Dear oh dear……talk about “jumping on the bandwagon” really quickly…..I suppose he thinks that he has to earn a living ……..
STUPID BASTARD!!! I LOATHE Acorah with a passion and this just reaffirms why! Can DA sink any lower?? I like MJ and this will make despicable TV. Only good thing about it is that Derek will UNDOUBTEDLY be possessed by Michael Jackson himself – wont that be worth watching! DA gives mediums a bad name.
BTW, Mark, a medium is slightly different to a psychic but Acorah is neither IMO.
Oh my days. Derek Acorah being ‘possessed’ by MJ (‘eeeh-heeee!) is going to be the Unintentionally Hilarious TV Spectacle Of The Year. Damn, I wish I had a TV.
I won’t be watching… I’m not a fan of Derek Achora… nor never have been… to the point where, if I was around when he was on fire, I’d get the toasting fork and marshmallows out.
Such bad taste… Anus-Invertingly Unpalatable Indeedy!
Personally can’t wait to see faker Acorah fall flat on his ar%se with this one. Completely ridiculous car crash television. I have no experience within the mad world of TV but as a watcher of it I find the whole idea of this kind of tv “event” bewildering and disturbing.
This is just so damn wrong, a massive fraudster such as Mr Acorah making money out of a dead popstar?!
What is wrong with the world!
Sky will never be able to get in contact with Jackson.
He’s already signed an exclusive deal with Heaven to be the warm-up act for Jesus’ big comeback tour.
Knob!
I have no words. Its just……ugh!
I used to watch shows like Most Haunted, used to buy into all the ghost stuff…
I want to thank Derren Brown for opening my eyes. Even since I saw the table levitate all by itself knowing it was merely a trick. Its amazing the lengths people will go to to fool the scared, the grieving and the plain curious.
AND as a huge Michael Jackson fan this news makes me sick for so many other reasons. Makes me mad, makes my heart bleed. Even in death people just can’t seem to leave him alone.
And people wonder why I’m misanthropic.
Personally I can’t wait…
Does that make me a bad person?
I’ll be interested to see if MJ has a camp northern accent like every other ‘spirit’ Acorah ‘channels’.
thats is sick, what a way to cash in on someone’s death, i suppose he did not care to think about his children or family, he is a joke and a fake. very annoyed at this news!!!!!!
Lizzie: “I think Michael is best left uncontacted. But it may be rather comical if Derek was to be ‘possessed’ by him.”
I can imagine it now, he’d be jumping around like Leigh Francis on bo selecta!
This is a horrible cash in on a dead celebrity I have ever seen. So completely unnecessary and fake. Unless he also contacts Jade goody, then all is forgiven.
This sounds awful!! How arrogant do you have to be to assume that if there is an afterlife – he wants to talk to you – Derek Acorah!!! It is with great sadness that I admit I will watch this – It’s got to be good for a laugh – to watch him try and attempt MJ’s voice – so far he only seems to be able to speak to people ‘on the other side’ with really low gruff voices.
Outrageous that this charlatan can get away with this. This parasite that feeds on the despair and tragedy of peoples grief, boycott the wanker. Sad thing is people will watch this even though its shyte
oh dear here’s where derek accora will start moon walking accross the stange because he’s been ‘posessed’ by michael jackson. This is truely and insult to the king of pop.
Sky is becoming the new ITV.
I’m glad I cancelled my subscription, as I don’t want to be held responsible for funding this low-brow, Heat magazine induced, drooling moron attracting tripe.
And Derek Acorah… as bad as Mystic Meg, and single-handedly responsible for the hole in the ozone layer thanks to the travesty of a barnet he calls “hair”.
End rant.
Derek just cracks me up because he’s so shit! He can’t even fake being a medium properly.
I really don’t think this show should be made (if it isn’t a publicity stunt) because it is very disrespectful to the Jackson family and all his fans. Fans get emotionally attached to celebrities and it’s not fair if they’re grieving a little too.
I love Most Haunted. I used to love it because I was a believer in ghosts but now I love it for the psychology and all the natural explanations for ‘paranormal’ activity in the show (also the teeny tiny crush on parapsychologist ciaran o’keefe lol).
I just hope that this turns out to be a publicity stunt.
Why is Derek Acorah so.. wrong? I’ve always thought he’s a bit of a salesman.
Isn’t this the same Derek Acorah who was fired from Most Haunted for being a fraud???
He’s no more psychic than i am. As for doing a Michael Jackson seance,, I’m thinking ratings for the fraud must be low. RIP Michael…… PISS off Acorah!!!!!!
disgusting
At first I thought this was some sort of wind up. Jeepers is all I can come up with, and sheesh.
To even have Derrick on the tele is bad enough, but that twat is going to ask “sam” his imaginary Ethiopian friend to look out for Jacko. Priceless!!!
AHHHHHH WTF could this b any less respectful????
I’m sorry but Acorah??? I’d b laughing if i found this more amusing than i did disgusting. I’m not even much of a Michael Jackson fan but this really irritates me.
mmm let me think, this is wat the evening will consist of: Derek will sit in a darkened room with a number of people with his greasy hair scraped bak as usual and say “Oh yes here he is, hello Michael, yes he’s trying to tell me something, something important… yes he loves u and he doesn’t want u 2 b upset.” he’ll then add in some impressive sounding padding by cold reading the poor buggers who are present.
…again i apologise i’m not usually this passionate about this kind of thing… and i just realise i sound really up myself in this comment… lol. But still, Ahhhh!!
Ehehehe ….cool … Don’t forget you use the same stuff for your series. Without that stuff .. no series. It’s quite harmless I think. If they don’t do it, someone else will, or already does (MJ probably got already pretty sick from all this calls from below … so he wont be coming through I think and the psychics will make up there stuff as usual, from my point of view that is (making up stuff).
Say, what if you died all of a sudden and discovered that it indeed is possible to speak from the other sides … but only if you’d been called by psychics and such … Hmmm … I’m sure you’d be an annoying pain in the butt to a few poor souls around .. just to get their attention that way then ..
The fans, 1/3 or so, probably will love it. Or are just being curious.
what a prat, it’s kind of mean to do i think
Aha, just had it pointed out to me by a friend that we may see Acorah doing a ‘possessed’ moonwalk. Now that would be amusing, if nothing else!
Oh feck, I just realised that I have 3 Sky channels, so I’m never going to hear the end of this!!
Derren, you have to do something. Wipe his memory of something!! Do some kind of mind-fuckery to him and make him go away!! You’re our only hope!!!
Also, as a little aside…the
smiley scares me 
Oh my god! That is utterly ridiculous!!
Who in their right mind would watch that drivel?!!
I can see the steam coming out your ears from here Derren!
It makes your skin crawl, doesn’t it? Getting on the band-wagon of a famous person’s death, how low can you go? I guess Derek whats-his-name won pole-position for this one. How does this rubbish get any air time, let alone any ratings? I wish Derren or someone like him would either do a “Jackson seance” using applied skills and techniques, or point out the techniques Derek whats-his-name uses to do trick the viewer. Personally, I think this would receive much better viewer ratings.
really in bad taste……..
Oh my giddy aunt, same legitimised exploitation of the bereaved only with a bigger name. At least it’s some TV company paying him and not some poor old lady waiting for pension day so she can ‘chat’ to her dead hubby for 30 minutes.
I hope he goes into one of his murderous rages during the show when he’s ‘possessed’ by Jacko, it’ll be great to hear him trying to do the accent and high pitched voice. Derek, (channels Derek) I’ll give you £500 of my own money if you do a crotch grab at some point during the séance. If there is a god (casts atheism aside for one moment) then this show will go ahead and be bloody hilarious.
Oh for the love of God!! What a pile of shite, Derek Acorah is the most arrogant prick around. Michael will be turning in his grave!!! What a sick way of making money!
I hope he moonwalks, falls over and breaks his leg, lol.
Well what can I say!!!!!!!!!!!!! He’ll probably start talking in a high pitched voice and grabbing his crotch, hehe. Would definately watch that just for a laugh xx
oh dear me… Derren you could get more of a response from the ‘spirit world’ then sad twat Derek ever has!!!! I had the misfortune of seeing this charlartan once and to be honest it was the best comedy moments of my life so far…
No intelligent person could watch Derek without a fit of the giggles and I certainly might watch just for the comedy value alone will Derek be grabbing his groin and be wearing a white glove???
As other people have said it has got this wanker into the news again…
Well I was utterly amazed when I read this. I mean, anyone but Acorah… puuuullleeeeaaaassseeee…… The man is a very good actor but medium? More like small, as in small on ability. From memory wasn’t he a failed footballer who, not being able to make a living over here playing when to Australia and came back a medium.
I think the time has come to call time on Micheal Jackson stuff. I am so glad that I cancelled my subscription to paying Sky channels and make do with the free ones. What an utter waste of money.
And as Jen H says above – can you imagine the possessed moonwalk? Hope his “guide” has got extra stamina that night……
Haha, can’t wait to see what Mr Acorah has in store!! w00p (;
I contacted Micheal Jackson last night and he said that Derek Acorah is a dick.
On the topic of making money off of other people, advertising on Derren’s website!
None of this would be happening if you won at the roulette wheel!
x
Being a big MJ fan, this is highly upsetting. Even in death people can’t LEAVE HIM ALONE
I could not think of a worse thing!
The man is a charlaton – who else would in thier career ‘channel’ a baboon! Granted you did a Stewie the other day Derren but at least you were not channelling something that is not real
He’s an example of a predator who preys on the week who so desperately want to believe and are looking to replace/fill a void by something that is lost. The man is a joke. Its a money making scheme and the bods at Sky should be ashamed for robbing people!
At least your up front and honest about what you do and that is what makes you enjoyable to watch – if occasionally a little unsettling for those susceptable minded people like me that fall for things!.
End of rant.
Worst still, I hear June Sarpong is hosting
Still, no getting away from it, love or hate the idea, you know it’ll get good ratings.
Ahh come onnn Derren…. jump of of that there fence and tell us what you REALLY think!
What’s it going to be? “Mary loves Dick aaaowww!” or as someone else put it on a forum I use “will it be Thriller sung in a scouse accent”?
That fraud Acorah will be doing a Boyzone special next…..
Did a little work on one of the ‘Most Haunted Live’ Shows that he used to do through the company that I worked for. The whole thing was an absolute sham! Unfortunately I am still under contract with them so cant go into too much detail for fear of losing my current job but, seriously, the amount of people who take this guy seriously are being utterly ripped off!
Avie
Oh you’ve got to be kidding me… *Headslamdesk*
I cannot believe that derek would stoop so low. it is absolutely sick what he is intending to do. Can nobody leave the jackson family alone and stop trying to make a mockery of his death and his family. Absolutely fucking sick. What an arsehole.
Oh. My. Word.
:O
oh dear, thats bad. but dereck will get loads of money & press for it. tho seeing ‘getting possesed’ by michael & trying to do the moonwalk & grabing his goods, may be amusing =p
i’m surprised this can even be on the air why is it that derren still gets hate mail from the seance but that derek can do this kind of thing without any bad feedback. Sky should be ashamed of itself for allowing this crap on TV and derek should be banned from TV for life
lol what a joke never going to happen
who next? poor stephen gately or the queen mother?
give up acorah……
and derren please say what u really think instead of being nice lol
xxxxxxxx
Let’s face it. Derek WILL contact MJ and he will get a “message” that he is at peace now and he loves all his fans………..and that will be IT.
Very poor taste Mr Acorah. Everyone involved should be ashamed.
Acorah AND June Sarpong? Television personality fail.
I’m an atheist but never has a bible quote been more apt: John 11:35
Jesus wept.
i hope this goes horribly wrong and the guy ends up looking like a bell end
Derek Acorah is a handsome, honest and genuine man. He has a deep and true abilty to speak to those in the spirit world, who have past on from the life we know. I think there is no doubt that he shall be able to contact the actual spirit of the late Michael Jackson.
Now, please excuse me, my flying pig needs feeding. Toodle-oo.
I wonder if Derek will get his hair done specially. Those brassy tints contrast really well with his purple face when he works himself up.
Having worked with Derek before…not the best experience ever in my life…i have to say…oh dear what on earth is it all coming to. Surely this is just a case of Derek wanting to keep himself in work and on the tv…just when i thought tv couldn’t get any worse we now have this car crash of a tv show to endure.
What’s with the i-tunes ads at the right hand side? No likey.
Wow! Way to capitalise on someone’s death.
Well done Sky. But more well done Derek! Derek can say literally anything he wants, and it can be accurate because he has almost limitless research material this time. He won’t even have to cold read.
I wish I’d thought of this! haha
Reading the article again, remember there’s not just Derek going to be there, but an American psychic too, so there’ll be two of the buggers at it!
Btw, obviously they have given consent to this, but I wonder what Michael’s family or even his children think of all this? Will this be a comfort or a torment to them? I guess if they’re total believers then they’ll feel nothing but comfort, but I wonder if the ENTIRE family feel that way?
I think the distasteful thing is the fact it’s being turned into a TV circus. At least when Jade Goody’s Mum saw a psychic the actual ‘reading’ was done privately (then plastered in the media after!)
This all leaves a nasty, sour taste in the mouth….
LC x
This is a complete disgrace, there couldn’t be anything worse than derek acorah…..can’t even finish my sentence it’s that bad. Pure insult to the king of pop, if i were family i would be fuming.
MJ <3
I’m still so sickened by this and hubby heard on the news today that it would be taking place in a fortnight…the poor guy has only been dead five minutes!!
Is Uri going to be involved in this? (I hope not) I’ve always liked the guy but I couldn’t tolerate his part in all this…
Channel 4 should schedule the documentary you’ve made with psychic medium Joe Power a week before this entire ‘circus’ takes place Derren. Maybe then people would see Mr Acorah and all his phoney ‘helpers’ for what they really are…..that would shoot them all up the ‘arse’ wouldn’t it.!!
And another thing…..considering the many thousands of people who saw you perform ‘The Oracle’ last year (and the year before) how many people will still believe all this rubbish…..
OMFG!!! you are havin a laugh….. Surely…… That man is a effin joke what an absolute wanker!!! Well won’t be anything I will be spending time watchin!!! That is just pure CRAP!! Sam…..Sam have u found him ?? Oh yeh I have someone coming through .. He went before his time ..quite sudden in fact ! Yeh and like you don’t know like eh most of the world how he died, not gonna be too hard eh. GRRRRRRRRR what a low life he gettin paid to talk shit on tv what a joke.
Ok rant over ….. In………out …. Ahh feel much better thanks DB for lettin me get that out xx
I think that this is a really goofd Idea. I want to know waht happennned to MJ! MJ my mom and me miss you! I dream about him sometimes, and in mny dream he says donbt worry I’m at peace now, and you should eat well and exerzize and not tgake too many medicins.
I hope it’s filmed in night vision….
Why do they need Derek Acorah to conduct a seance? It’s not as if there is anything he can tell us that we don’t already know or could find out by going to our nearest bookshop. Why not spend their money on a well made, informative biographical documentary?
What a load of poo.
And Derek Acorah of all people. He who has been publicly revealed as a fraud and a charlatan. Do people really still believe he has the powers that he claims to have? I can’t wait to see what ridiculous possessions he ‘experiences’ in this. I’ll bet a tenner on Sam making him do a moonwalk.
I cant belive this well C**P would be allowed to go out on Tv. Whoever belives he could really do what he states is as stupid as a maggot in a spiders nest. Awfull tv, (I’ll be watching though)
OMG, this is wrong on so many levels….!!!
That is fundamentally sick……
Disgusting. If they were truly going to do it Sky would have to be honest from the start, and say it is all made up. Whatever happens, the family should be consulted first, and if they don’t agree then it shouldn’t go ahead.
Yes but MJ might use DA’s body as host & have DA moondancing!
I wish all the maelstroms of Satans rectum to be visited upon this dreg of humanity. Still thats what you get when you wave a fiver in front of a scouser. Its eyes roll back in its head the mouth plops open and all it can see are all the lovelies it can buy from argos. Dire man, dire beyond belief. He is to telly what Hitler was to race relations. He is the scum on the scumbags arse. Did I say that all out loud? Good cause I would welcome the chance to scream it an inch from that colon cancer of a dicks face. Anyhooooooo if you want to know why i think he is such a scumbag look no further than google – please feel free to search for Eureka moment and space and plus symbol and derek and space and plus evette fielding. I am sure you will be most embittered when you watch it. Scuuuuuuuuuuuum!
Acorah sucks the sweat from a dead man’s balls. Literally every day.
What? Is Michael Jackson dead?
OK. Now I ‘ve taken in that sad tiding, I am beginning to sense (Oh, by the way: I’m a medium) that Michael doesn’t really want to talk to us. He says, and I quote: ”Heehee!”
Difficult to tell what he’s trying to communicate…
If he tells me more, I will get back to you all, OK?
Disgusting. Not so much the seance, but the fact that Derek Acorah is still on the telly. Someone is STILL paying him money to make up ghost stories with his imaginary friend.
Sky make programs to make money, anything Michael Jackson is marketable. Derek Acorah is a household name (for what ever reason). So bring them together and you will make money. It may be in bad taste but then so are most (un)reality programs on TV. Like all these programs it will pretend to be serious at the same time as putting up a disclaimer “for entertainment only. Making a fuss only gets the show more publicity. Be honest how many people slagging it off, will watch it just to see how terrible it is?
It’s not that it’s about Michael Jackson, or that I think it’s sick that is my problem. My problem is with Sky, and even more with Derek Acorah still thinking they can broadcast this stuff and believe they are making good TV, or that they are being ‘real’.
I think the most interesting thing is this – how EASY is it going to be to do this seance? The amount of information that is available regarding M.Jackson and his life is VOLUMINOUS – the guy must have choked on his herbal tea at the very idea of doing this.
I mean most people have to suggest things that might have happened in the ‘deceased’ persons life – but this – its all there on Google !
wow…I FEEL GooD!…hmm, maybe it´s James Brown coming through here …
Lets hope this finishes Acorahs career once and for all.
As genuinely disgusting as I find this, I don’t think it’s any more so than taking advantage of vulnerable relatives of non-celebs..
Had a word with Michael, he said that out of all the things he’s done in his life he wont lower himself to be seen talking to a scouser!
OH FOR THE LOVE OF . . . . OF … . . SOMETHING PLEASE PUT THIS LINK IN THE MAIN TITLE THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT ACORAH IS A SHIT BULLSHIT MERCHANT OF THE WORST ORDER READ THIS PAGE AND WATCH THE VIDS. NO FURTHER EVIDENCE IS REQUIRED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CLICK HERE: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/isil.telemnar/Doublexposure/eureka.htm
So Acorah has been proven as a fraud yet he can do something like this on Sky? No respect for a dead man’s family whatsoever — and Jackson was actually a human being.
Haha!
I can’t wait, this will be so funny!
It’s sick, but you have to admit, you WILL watch it!
In fact I cannot let it lie there, Derek was fired from Most Haunted specifically when the Skeptical member of the team was worried that he was faking things. He decided to conduct an experiment to test his theories. He decided that when the team visited Cornwall, Bodmin Goal specifically, he would invent a ghost. He named it KREED KAFER (DEREK FAKER). He let the rumours circulate about the name of this dead prisoner. And made two crewmen mention it around derek when they were having a pre show smoke together. An low and behold SAM (sneers mockingly), picked up on KREED KAFER. How funny NOT. After he discovered this he told evette and her hubby who then done their own version different location. And so it all went tits up and was in the Mirror newspaper. And still this arse lesion works!
Just when I think that Derek can not possible sink any lower, he does.
This is utterly appalling.
Horrible!!
Talk about a cash cow, preying on the innocent, absolutely horrible. How can they (The idiots responsible for polluting out television screens with such drivel) honestly be so biased and insensitive to show something like this??
I am writing this into my will right now;
“No badly fake tanned piss taker of any name will give my family false hope by desecrating my remains in an attempt to reap financial rewards! If this is even remotely suggested they will all be disinherited!”
Gem x
Oh come on Derren , don’t be so self righteous and ‘anus invertingly’ pompous. Dereks just a television entertainer the same as you are. He just does it differently that all. Get over yourself.
God this winds me up.
Everything about this is wrong….
Derek Acorah feeding off of peoples misfortune.
The lack of evidence of anything supernatural, as far as seances go.
The fact Sky are cashing in on sheeps…. I mean peoples love for a musical legend.
The continued publicization of a known Pederest (Micheal Jackson).
I really is sickening!
@Woodbert
However Derren does not have a website where he charges premium rate to do you a personal reading does he.
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/isil.telemnar/Doublexposure/acorahs_phonelines.htm
and Derren is not full of shit. I mean thats a given.
Wow, that’s kind of crazy to me. While he’s at it, maybe he can pull in Pol Pot and Ghandi and get their opinions.
- AF
“Mary loves DIck, Mary loves DIck!” What a total load of nonsensical ARSE GRAVY!!
Does anyone actually take this twat seriously? C\n’t think of a sentence I don’t want to swear in!
Derek Acorah has stooped lower than low now, once he does this “Seance” he will be open to critique, however the orange one is nothing than a fake so when this show does come out… take it as entertainment. I wonder if the Jackson Family are with Derek on this, I mean they are Jehovah;s witness’, they don’t like stuff like this, or do they?
Oh for goodness sake another t**ser making money out of Michael’s death & in such a rediculous way too oh my lordy I didn’t think the world could get worse, ffs people treat him like sh*t when he was alive & used him as a “cash cow” and now he’s dead they’re having an even bigger field day! sheesh some people!
I’m not now going to the Michael Jackson exhibition in London for my birthday as I found out sony & aeg pushed him into doing 50 dates despite him being very ill & unable to perform.
I’d heard a bit about that before but wasn’t sure if I should believe it or not but when Michael’s sister Latoya was on Paul O’ Grady’s show she said Michael’s daughter Paris said to her they over woked daddy he couldn’t cope so that came from those closest to him his sister & daughter
I have to say I have never liked Latoya but at least she has some sense she was the one who said he was murdered that he was pushed too far & I had a feeling she was right, I knew almost straight away he was murdered.
So that may be my birthday ruined now but I think I shall go with my original plan of going to the parrot sanctuary on the day itself, I’ve not been for ages & love the parrots they’re so lovely & sweet.
a much better way to spend my birthday than letting them greedy lot profit from my idols death methinks
This is in such bad taste! How disgusting to do something like this and so soon after his death. I hope the Jacksons sue. Derek Acorah is a total big fat fake with a capital F as well and it’s blindingly obvious! He should go back to acting school. Then again they’d probably laugh him right out the door!
Note to Chantelle: I like your idea of going to the parrot sanctuary instead. I have 2 very lively happy feathered friends of my own.
wow where do you start with that one! i think you should try sneek into the audience if they have 1 and debunk him and his invisible friend..
Derek Acorah is the definition of sleaze…but let’s not forget all those lovely people at Sky who will be making a lot of money from this. No doubt the ratings this show will get will make me lose faith in humanity.
“Thank you, Sam”….*shudder*
Can’t wait for dezza to go into one of his trances and start moonwalking…
I blame James Whale for giving that twat exposure in the first place (many years ago). In Whale’s defense, I think he only used Acorah because he was laughably useless. What a progression? How sad.
Are you guys serious about Acorah having a friendly spirit named Sam, wasn’t that Whoopi in Ghost? Anyway I also think Acorah Is a ****.
wow this is so lame… and at the same time i know im going to watch it just because its about michael jackson… even if it was possible to speak to dead people, this SOB doesnt deserve the privilege.
MJ > Jesus
Woodbert !!!
What Derek does is lie very badly and get people to watch, not “entertainment” in the slightest ,
For goodness sake why do people need to believe in such tosh to drag themselves out of bed each day, grow some brain cells and live your flippin life ! I hate with a passion, people who pretend to be something they are not. Why on earth they get paid to lie to the nation is beyond me !.
…………………… And this is a man that calls himself “spiritual”???
Derek Acorah is a has-been that’s jumping on the MJ bandwagon looking for attention. Quite sad, really.
Derek Acorah actually makes me ashamed to be from Liverpool. I used to be taught in University by Ciaran O’Keeffe of ‘Most Haunted’ fame, and even though he never said anything directly to us about the shambolic’ness of Acorah – we all knew he really wanted too..
Guys – it’s satire.
From the wonderfull people at News Arse
http://newsarse.com/2009/10/15/derek-acorah-to-channel-michael-jackson-for-millions-of-idiots/
Honestly, why do people believe that the dead would want to talk to arses like John Edward or Derek Acorah anyway?
Acorah has stooped to new lows with this one.. Someone please lynch this twat.
I find it amusing that so many of the negative comments here all have one similarity. They can quote from the program Most Haunted, have knowledge of Derek Acorah and episodes and quotes he has made and two facidly have the audacity to claim they will watch it, if only to hurl abuse at the tv.
People who live on their own and regularly shout at their tv should, lets be honest, live in rooms with soft walls and I can only assume that from the above comments most of them do.
Simple answer….If it’s not your cup of tea then DONT WATCH IT, in addition to this amazing realisation, stop making stupid comments about it and grow up.
Hahaha!! This does not suprise me at all.
Acorah May be a fraud but he dosn’t give a shit! He’s made a pile of loot and so have the parasites! Perhaps on a par with the bloke of whom,and unsuccessfully tried to sue the Allmighty! Ask Sam?? Even with a Writ of Habeous Corpus,and without a forwarding address-dwelling place,no Writ can be served! So where indeed is Heaven? Furthermore,devout Catholic Worshippers,The McCann parents sought ‘divine intervention,but still no Maddie! Let Michael ‘sing’ out,if “anybody is there?”
- Acorah hasn’t actually made all that much cash despite what you might be led to believe.- Phillis
I have nothing further to add!
Derek Acorah you are a disgusting scumbag and I hope you get your comeuppence for this disgraceful and disrepesctful act of desperation seeing as no one remembers who you are since you left the fraudulent most haunted.
I am sickened by your actions and the morons from sky who commision this shit I hope I dont run into Acorah I just wonder why MJ would want to talk to this prick and his imaginary friend.
If true, may I say what an utterly tasteless and sickening PR stunt.I am not only disgusted anyway with Acorah’s already desperate attempts for attention to what is obviously a lack of psychic abilities but more so at SKY television for wanting to pay to commission this vile spectacle.Michael Jackson has died, end of…..Leave him and his family alone.
(Continued)…. Anyways I only thought Derek could do one type of psychic manifestation…..The Brian Blessed style one,booming and shouting at the top of his voice.He’d have to perfect a high pitched gentle voice for his Jackson possession which aside from it’s immediate comic value would have no other serious value to anyone alive or dead, only revulsion.
…And yes it’s not my ‘CUP OF TEA’ and , yes ‘I WON’T WATCH IT’ but, does this still entitle some to ridicule someone’s death,subject a mourning family\friends to more pain for the sake of cheap trash television?
MJ fans if this broadcast goes ahead get on to ofcom. Its sick
Strange how no-one has ever come back to tell us all? Moreover;who informs the knowalls?
How does one moderate the truth?
Derek Acorah is a money grabbing fraud! Only HE could do something like this to get richer! He should be ashamed of himself! He is one sick individual! He will only say what every MJ fan already knows about or what has been put in papers etc! His triad will boil down to, yes Michael was murdered or wasn’t, he misses his children and loves them very much and though it hurts him to be away from his children and family, he will always be there with them but is happy where he is now and is ffeeling a great sense of peace.
And i don’t have to be that good to figure that that will be said at some point!
David & lk I couldnt agree more the show will go ahead depsite its vulgarity and disrepect a petition is already floating about to ofcom the link to follow if any MJ fan or a human being with values wants to add their name then would be appreciated by whoever started it. It will air but hopefully ofcom will do something about it as it is not television its just repulsive even if it was a decent medium i wouldnt care for this let alone derek acorah.
http://www.petitiononline.com/mj1958/petition.html
i only just heard about this. its absolutly disgusting. how can anyone be allowed to change people ideas and opinions on a person by claiming he is speaking to him from beyond the grave. its sick
i think the family need anwsers people die for a reason the reason of Micheal jacksons death was years of struggle i belive in derek because i belive in the after life also i belive that everyone is different and if people can contacted the dead good for them thats there gift
micheal jacksopn shamefully died on the 25th june its time for anwser as most people read and heard micheal might of been murdered by his doctor if micheal id there he can tell us and he can also tell us what to do with his kids RIP MICHEAL JACKSON .
As sick and tasteless as this is, and much as I can’t stand either Derek Acorah or Michael Jackson …… I might actually have to watch it out of some freakish curiosity. I will keep the sick bucket close and wear shades to save my eyes from Acorahs celebrity white teeth! Wish me luck.
i cant wait to see acorah say………..whats that sam?……….fuck…….off……..im………trying ……….to………watch………the…………concert!………..lol
Watch Micahel Jackson: This is it, or is it ? tonight (4th November 2009) at 8pm – a BRILLIANT pre-emptive spoof of Acorah’s event. Better than prime time comedy … saw it last Sunday …. VERY, VERY funny !
Repated Sat at 7pm (The Unexplained Channel)
I was talking to Derek the other day as i live in spain he has a house near to me and he said he was approached by Sky to do this programme and believes he can contact michael im a big fan of Derek and his work throughout the years and i do like Derren for his work ETC but you cannot say that Derek is sinking low when he has been approached i bet if derren was approached he would have done the same thing and done it..
Derek is a nice man dont blame this all on him if you watch it you will understand why hes doing this.
So Derren if your reading this reconsider what you have said
thanks Joe Turbefield
Bullllllllshittttttttt!!!!! he is a liar and a fraud.
It was proven that derek ocorah checked the information about things and places before he went there in “Most Haunted”
What a crock of shit!!!
Also “OBVIOUSLY” in this seance show on friday he is gunna contact michael jackson, which obviously he is NOT. He is going to lie.
If he didnt “contact” him the show would be shit lol,
What a waste of time this will be. I cant imagine anything more rediculas than this!!!
O I can imagine the complaints to sky for this, its gunna be funny!!!
DEREK OCORAH = BULLSHIT
He’s not gonna show up, because he doesn’t like giving interviews!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qAu0Y20IVg&feature=channel
Sorry Derek – It’s been done !
Jimmy.
I am not a fan of MJ – I actually believe that he was a child abuser but this is still somebody’s relative that has recently died.
These ‘mediums’ have no shame. Derek Acorah and his ilk really are the scum of the earth – fraudulent arse! The difference with Acorah is that he’s not even any bloody good at cold reading. Not only is he a shameless fake – he is totally unconvincing.
Nothing would make me happier than if the lowlife moron sued me for libel!
What a crock of shit! That mine should be locked up. Those four “superfans” need some serious help, NOT having their feeble minds exploited like that.
help derren im sooo mad not a great fan of mj but tonight was so embarrasingly lame. the seance group was so lame it needed a wider range of people so so rubbish i dont usually complain but need to tonight ,and i cant on sky 1.
Woh harsh words. But i do agree.
Derek Ocorah is a twat lol, and a fraud.
Michael Jackson is dead, and they should leave him alone.
This is disgusting and shameful from sky to even consider doing something so retarded like this
Sky will be flooded by complaints, its gunna be astronomical. I reckon the Jackson family might even have something to say about this.
If i was Derek Ocorah I wouldnt go ahead with this, he is gunna be hated big time by all MJ fans.
He needs to watch his back otherwise he will be the next person who dies.
There will be no bullshit anymore then lol
Wot a prat he is.
Did you watch it, Derren? I did, for purely professional reasons. I’m a TV columnist (but don’t hold that against me, please). That’s an hour of my life I’ll never get back. Still, at least Michael Jackson can’t complain about losing an hour of his afterlife, because he never showed up.
I can’t fathom why even the most gullible, most suggestible sap could take that clown Acorah seriously.
The trouble with the paranormal is that when someone believes, it really doesn’t matter how much evidence you put in front of them to disprove the existence of ghosts/spirits/angels/life after death et al. Believe me – I’ve tried convincing people myself and got nowhere! Personally I can’t understand why DA is getting more airtime, especially after the Most Haunted fiasco – perhaps his agents thought that enough time had passed for the dust to have settled… My fave MH moment was the Live! they did in Brixham – the same “spirit” appeared twice during the run in different locations as he got it wrong on the first night……hilarious!
Although I’ll admit to enjoying watching him on Most Haunted, I was always sceptical of Derek Acorah, a little too theatrical in his presentation of ‘mediumship’, and wasn’t particularly surprised when their resident parapsychologist caught him out. That said, and because I know one of the participants, I tuned in tonight …
Hmmm, either DA truly believes he’s in contact with the afterlife or is a grotesquely exploitative individual. If it’s the latter then these fans were knowingly horribly humiliated in front of millions of viewers. I’m fascinated by the like of Most Haunted, but this show just seemed tasteless. A low point for Sky.
Yes it was horrid to watch, those 4 ‘superfans’ were seriously disturbed, especially the girl. It was a poor show. Hope it never happens again!
what a load a pash watched tonight and they are takin the biscuit out of decent people Acorah should never be screened again all wish wash
I know this was bad tv but to watch after a few drinks was very amusing – That Derek was so stupid there is no way anyone could take him seriously after this – oh yeh and shame on David guest cashing in as well
oh my god i have just watched last nights screening of derek acorahs bullshit im utterly disgusted he was terrible iv always hated the guy im a huge mj fan and just watched to see wot a prat he had made of himself messing with them fans feelings making them especially the woman look like prats on tv i didnt even kno about him being a fraud will hav to google that but i cant believe sky would allow crap like that on telly i think ppl shuld leave th guy alone he is dead now let him rest in peace and as for the person say he was a child abuser dont u think he if was his kids would have been taken away regardless of how much money he has
I was horrified and embarresed by the super fans who were completely duped by Derek Acorah last night. His so called communication with the king of pop was an absolute farce and he used and abused these poor deluted and lets face it slightly disturbed fans. It was terrible to watch the way he manipulated the fans that clearly need some councelling rather than a seance. Derek has been caught out on several occasions as being a fake and even Yvette Fielding and Kieran O’kieff have come out and publically recognised his ‘spiritual’ work as being a shame.
I bet there is a TV exec somehwere planning a series of this nonsense, Derek meets……..Elvis, Diana, etc etc maybe even a Celebrity Dead Big Brother with the viewing public encouraged to phone in and vote to keep their favourite ghost to be kept on the show
I watched it just to see how pathetic Derek could be and he didn’t let me down. The ‘superfans’ were brainwashed and need help. No evidence, nothing at all to prove he was speaking to anyone apart from his imagination. David Guest spoke a load of rubbish too – why wasn’t he at the table asking MJ questions? The ONE question that got asked, about the favourite performing place really stumbled Derek, had to think hard there to come up with a flipping unnamed racecourse in England with no info to support it! Utter rubbish and DA should not be given air time.
Totally agree with Diane, it was absolutely disgusting drawing those people into that situation and I still can’t believe they allowed it to be broadcast
PS Sooooo glad Derek Acorah stopped short of grabbing himself and screaming “woohee!”
Just awful………I saw some of it last night by accident……thought it was so sick and wrong. And the panel of fans etc, all dressed up like Michael, just cringeworthy…..I’m sure they will be sued over this. Whoever thought of this needs sacking.
Michael Jackson is still alive it is all a hoax look on youtube.
I’ve got 650 characters to make my point. Not nearly enough because I have a well-developed argument to convey. A well-developed argument should honor your opinion by having supporting ideas to illustrate your viewpoint. Unfortunately, this has been lacking in the majority of comments on this subject, including Drren’s original post. Derren does not inform us as to why he opposes the live séance. What is it about it that riles him? I’m not condemning his view, I just don’t see any actual reasons on his part to explain his belief. You all seem to suffer from the same flaw. You all appear to be reacting purely on a visceral level.
- That’s because it’s a load of old bollocks and a cheap shot temporary fame. There’s nothing deep or intellectual here – it’s just shameful self promotion at the expense of others – Phillis
Someone else said that mediums “piss around”. I’ve seen very convincing readings by mediums. I’ve interviewed mediums and they’ve provided me with very convincing, seemingly conclusive proof that they are contacting a family member. And I’m not easily convinced. A lot of you are appauled by mediums and their “cold readings”. I’d love to see some of you try and recreate what I’ve seen these mediums do. So explain to me someone, the exact trics these people use. I advise you to go on to youtube and watch ‘Three mediums theatre show’, featuring Derek himself. He is very convincing. I’d love for someone (perhaps Derren himself) to dissect a part.
- Have you seen Messiah? Not only is Derren better at it he tells you how it works. If what you say is true why can’t it be done in a controlled environment? Why is there no scientific evidence for it? This seems to be a stumbling block for most mediums. – Phillis
Hi folks, Firstly, Derren Brown..just gallus! ..secondly, well I suppose I should now duck from flying shrapnel as I say I have enjoyed watching Derek on t.v for several years now,till now I have never took any notice of the claims printed regarding him being a fake including the so called Mary loves Dick scenario, journalist lies, sales spinners etc of him being exposed in Most Haunted which I am also an avid watcher of ( eek ducks again). I like other believers am just gutted at last nights ‘seance’,just seemed a complete and utter farce! Now sceptical & scunnered!
Derren your amazing,all the best, hope you’re back on t.v soon! xxx
I’m not sure I agree that there is no scientific evidence. It depends on your classification of evidence and science. Bare in mind that science is based on a physical model of our universe and reality. Therefore, it is difficult (if not impossible) to prove the existance of something beyond the physical, because it is beyond the construct of conventional science). That is not to say that scientists aren’t interested. If you research things like EVP, you will see that it has a scientific backing, as it is meant to be the non-physical interacting with the physical. I am also sure that mediums have worked in controlled conditions with scientists. Have a look at the three mediums’ on youtube, and tell me how it’s done.
- and yet I am 100% definite there is no scientific evidence. There’s not one jot. No papers, no peer reviewed science and no reliable results. It’s not up for us to prove it exists, it’s up to you. I can claim that I am psychic by just saying it then claim that you can’t prove I’m not, that doesn’t make me psychic, it makes me a liar. EVP has no scientific backing and no evidence for it’s existence. James Randi will pay you $1Million dollars if you can prove it to be so. Searching “3 Mediums” on youtube pulls up Bullshit Detectors, a video where 3 psychics are all proved to be utterly lying. Not really surprising is it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4qGfNViVN8 – Phillis
I just watched Messiah. I’ll briefly give my own position on the subject of mediums. I am not utterly convinced by what they do, however I will readily admit that I have been bamboozeled by the readings they have given. What bemused me about Messiah was the lack of any explanation as to how he achieved his success rate. When giving the medical evidence he seemed to get most of it right. So how? Where is his explanation? Similarly, his cold readings were very convincing. “I’m getting Lucy Lilly who has passed on” he says to a woman, and the woman mentions Lucy. He never explained the tricks he used. This episode was certainly interesting, but not enlightening, because I’m more confused than enlightened. Fascinating stuff. So where do we go from here friends? So where do we go from here friends? : D
- He’s a mentalist/magician. Of course he won’t tell you how he does it. He will however do it 10 times more convincing than Acorrah and at the same time tell you he’s NOT psychic. CASE DISMISSED – Phillis
I’m prepared for the indignation this will probably bring down on me, but, while I was doubtful about the seance, the show before it, the search for his spirit, was very powerful; I think they got him!
I was in tears watching the seance – how much those fans loved Michael really made me emotional, because, though I’m doubtful that was him, really there; if he was, then he must know how much love and joy he brought to people. I mean, I’m a teenager, I should be weirded by MJ, but I’m not. I love him; have done since I was 10. I was shattered when he died. I sent him letters. I still cry, I just want the truth, to talk to La Toya. I really need to, have to talk to her. I just love Michael, I do, I love him like those kids at Neverland must have. This is killing me. Feel free to visit me, MichaeI. Because I’ll love you forever.
it is ludicrous and ridiculous granted but so is claiming you can pick the correct lottery numbers before the draw starts. You’re not far off the same league.
- Apart from the fact Derren says “it’s a trick” where as Acorrah says it’s “supernatural powers”. – Phillis
i want to see a saddam hussain seance
how can you not believe derek acorah ? how else would he know michael jackson wanted that guy to say hello to quincy jones? know one so it must have been real.
Well, Well where does one start with this one? Having seen some of this the first time it was shown on Sky and then watching it again all the way through on Saturday 14th November what can you say apart from what a load of old S**T. Staring off by saying Sam my spiritual guardian tells me Michael is in the vicinity what!!! Can anyone really , moonwalk on gravel? Michael wearing someone else’s shoes at ten pin bowling? Why didnt anyone have an autograph of Michael from the places he supposedly visited whilst in Ireland, the bowling alley, the hotel, the chinese takeaway, KFC? Derek Acorah recently got escorted off an aeroplane whilst being so drunk he got nasty! Maybe too many spirits turned up or were drunk, maybe someone called him a fraud (although we already know that he is) on the flight. Giving people false hope is wrong dont listen.
Derren…isn’t it about time a large amount of money was offered to all of these ridiculous people, to come onto a live show and be tested under controlled conditions…a simple polygraph test and a series of questions would be very simple to set up…add in a few body language experts, and me sees an end to this nonsense!!
Surely even the poverty stricken Channel 4 can see through this one and give you some funding!
And let’s face it…the challenge alone will send most of these guys packing. Too many fragile people have been conned by these guys…I think you have the skills and the connections to bring down a plague on these parasites…step up Mr. Brown, and feel free to count me in…i’d be happy to help!!
Derren,
I believe that Derek should shut the fck up about things he knows nothing about,
the first being human beings.
MJ is (or was) a human with feelings like all of us.
Screw Derek, his birth certificate was an apology from the condom factory.
Derren you’re the best. <3 much love
~biggest MJ fan on earth.
oh my God! that’s not right
