The Events
Back home now, 3 am. The Events are now over and I want to thank everyone who tuned in over the last few weeks. Along the way, 20 million viewers tuned in – far more than any of us ever imagined – and I hope most of you enjoyed the shows. It’s been a real ride: I’ve had loads of fun making them, though I’m still reeling from tonight’s escapade. I called Ben as soon as I could and he doesn’t hate me, so I can sleep tonight.
Thank you again, all of you who watched or even took part in the interactive elements. Loads of love, and sweet dreams.

My highlights of the events is the knife in the foot, all of your comments online after the lottery and the very ending of this last one …poor Ben’s face when he saw the bet was wrong! (trying not to laugh out loud)
I cynacly cynically believe that Derren is a fake, fraudulent con artist – the very best – and I have been relishing every second as the tension is building up. I’m sitting by a computer at school on the edge of the seat nervously biting my fingernails and making small giggles/exclamations in every turn on this roller coaster.
I personally like the fact that he didn’t win the money and the holy Graal (Grale?) was never found. Derren still looks like the slick sly mastermind that we know him to be.
Did you turn on those little red lines that correct my misspellings? Thank U.
Oh, come on. That’s not Derren with the check. It can’t be.
You paranoid conspirators are all just imagining things.
Argh…
Off by one. I would go ahead and say it’s no biggy like everyone else, but it’s the difference between 180.000 pounds, and 0 pounds. I would say there is a dramatic difference.
Nevertheless you are still awesome. I just don’t get it. I didn’t think you would put yourself in a situation where you have no outs.
Is there a sequal coming? =)
ONLY ONE NUMBER OUT!!!! I don’t believe it would be humanely possible to get anywhere near it I was still sooooooo amazed :D:D:D
I could imagine you though, at the casino bar, getting more and more drunk while the people looked on at the guy they thought had blown all his life savings 🙂 Bloody amazing guy, love it, can’t wait to see you live!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Who cares if you’re off by one, you’re still amazing.
The shows have been fantastic! I look forward to seeing your Enigma show in February at Crawley. Hopefully I’ll catch a frisby, or a monkey, or whatever you’re using this time 🙂
x x x
Oh! I know what I’ve been meaning to ask.
That girl of the couple in the title sequence who land on the sofa – is she single? : p
‘Ben’ WAS a stooge !!! tut tut
Absolutely loved The Events Derren, well done! Was really gutted for you on the roulette but everyone knows you can do it, one out! Bet you just got yourself banned from another casino! Fantastic show, and I can’t wait for whatever comes next :). Lots of love xxx
The series was great, and I enjoyed every second. Thanks for 4 weeks of entertainment!
He’s not the messiah, he’s a very naughty boy. Oh well, maybe David Cameron is?

Derren you’re still awesome. Cannot wait to see you in May. 🙂
Felt so bad for you Derren I could sense the disappointment, but being one off proves it’s real, the theory works, and you did brilliantly, being one off just proves to everyone who didn’t believe that the national lottery prediction was real, that they were indeed wrong, you are an absolute genius…oh and the most attractive man on television, with the creamiest voice in the world…..(went too far didn’t i? :p)
i love you derren! you´re the best, don´t worry about the roulette i loved it still!
Derren, how do you even manage to remember your own name or anybody else’s for that matter, when u are concentrating on tricks like this. Its amazing that you did the car and the squash court…. wow. Off by one is execellent and to be honest kinda proves that it wasnt a set up to me…. Well done on this and all the series and good luck for the 3D event. Please come back to manchester with the tour……..
He got it wrong on purpose! Check this out:

I actually really liked the ending
when do you ever get real live tv like that?
As Mike Windell said earlier: One word, Legend
HEY ALL
CONGRATS DERREN N ANDY N TEAM ON ALL THE EVENTS ALL WERE AMAZIN N LOVED EVERY SECOND CNT WAIT TI SEE ENIGMA AGAIN IN APRIL
TO ALL THE HATERS OUT THERE GET A GRIP PEOPLE, WHAT EVER HAPPEND WITH ANY OF THE EVENTS U WOULD HAVE UR OWN TAKE ON IT, IF DERREN DID IT HE CHEATED IF HE DIDNT HE FAILED N HAHA Y WASTE TIME BEING NEGATIVE ABOUT IT, IT BOILS DOWN TO PURE JEALOUSY N THE FACT THAT WATCHED A FULL OF HOUR OF THE SHOWER TO SEE THE OUTCOME WOULD SUGGEST U CNT THINK THAT BADLY OF DERREN N HIS WORK!!
DERREN, ANDY, COOPS, PHILLIS, ABEO N FERN BRITTON UR ALL LEGENDS N CNT WAIT FOR FUTURE SHOWS N EVENTS KEEP UP THE TRUELY AMAZIN WORK N THE DRINKS R ON ME IN EDINBURGH
What tosh. Really disappointed by the series actually – all the little bits were great, but the grand finale for each show was just a dumb trick each time, rather than the clever stuff in the lead up.
Fake casino, no money bet, one out to look good but not have to payout, then give the man his original money back. Tut. Shame he couldn’t wangle sufficient budget to ‘win’ and make the fella happy!
Already got me an eye-full of a black 8 stenciled on the side of a skip marked ‘Toulouse’.
THE MAIN THRUST OF EACH EVENT WAS A HOAX. THE LOTTERY NUMBERS, STICKING TO YOUR SOFA, PSYCHIC SPY INSTRUCTIONS TO STEAL TVs, IT WASN’T A REAL CASINO AND THE ROULETTE SPIN WAS FIXED. THE “30” ON THE BUS IS ANOTHER RED HERRING. DERREN’S POINT IS THAT NO MATTER WHAT YOU GET TOLD YOU WILL STILL WANT TO BELIEVE THE HOAX. GOODNIGHT AND GODBLESS! X
-THANKYOU FOR THAT NOW PLEASE PUT DOWN THE MEGAPHONE! – Phillis
Derren, the best piece of television I have seen in years. The end left me astonished, speechless and with goosebumps… a proper TV event if ever there was one. It got people talking as it should do! Media genuis!!!
H
p.s. please come to Hull, we need you!
Derren you old dog. I can’t help thinking that you delivered the whole thing with the utmost deliberation deliberately.
Am I right?
I’m a massive fan. Love. xXx
Never mind, people seem to be forgetting that given the challenge of guessing where the ball would land one off isn’t that bad at all (I’m impressed you got that close to be honest, but at least not getting it quite right proves you aren’t some kind of terrifying apocalyptic wizard like some faintly hysterical people seem think you are).
The Events was exiting and interesting television, of which there is very little these days, and that I feel is the whole point of it.
Can’t wait to see what you plan to do next, you’re one of the few people on TV who’s shows I always look forward to seeing.
Plus if it all goes tits up one day you could make a lot of money using your voice for audio books. : )
Lots of love, S.M. : )
amazed at how many people people pointed out that you were one out – must say I also prefer the pre-recorded shows.
still my idol 🙂
@graeme – Ferm Britten?! Did I miss an ep or something?
Hard hard luck, I was hoping that you were going to be able to do it so bad. And i felt truely gutted for you! I would love to take part in one of your programes one day.
Derren Brown you are an utter genius! Unlucky with the roulette wheel but don’t be disheartened- you are brilliant! Please carry on coz the public love ya!
The Events were fantastic! you keep pushing to expand the horizons (and our minds) with new feats and wonder! I hope you continue to do this, regardless of the successes for failures – as only you can.
for= or
Loved the show but for me the showy stuff is nothing but a sideline- you’re never better than when you’re showing up the charlatans and scam artists. Keep up the good work, Derren..
Really impressed with your work yet again Derren. It’s amazing what you have achieved and I’m looking forward to seeing you again. It gets better every time…!

Everything in this series was a load of tosh and completely not real… but it has been thoroughly entertaining and has got the whole nation talking, which doesnt happen often about a tv show these days. So welldone, even if i do feel slightly cheated and bit disappointed.
Thanks for making friday night a real ‘event’ Derren, all the shows were wicked and we’re glad your back on soon. Good luck in the future, we will all be tuning in!
Hello , i work in a casino and can tell you the only way to beat a roulette table is to steal from it.
Why didnt you do neighbour bets if you knew roughly where it was heading,
you chose your wheel and your casino well i must say , some wheels and some balls make it harder and more unpredictable.
Bit dissapointed you didnt win the £175k , shame on Ben
Yet again a truly amazing show.. Went to see the Enigma show earlier in the year in Chatham and am amazed how you find the time… must be magic. If you wanna try the roulette again I’m sure I can find £5000!!! 1 out is still pure genius! and I’m so jealous of those caricatures!!
that guy ben was clearly thinking ‘woohoo, there is no way
he is gonna get it wrong, i have this in the bag’
in fact he was probably imagining how he was going to
spend it…..poor him lol
and unlucky derren….very well done though,
i absolutely loved the events
Shame the last Event failed, but by a whisker. One to the right and it would’ve been in the bag. Mind you, the Subliminal Message one didn’t work with me. Does it work in HD or not?
Hi Derren! I’ve got to be honest, I didn’t really like the events as much as your other shows. The roulette episode was ruined by Ben, I heard he was one of your auditionee’s and I think he just pandered to whatever you did to him so he could be on your show. There were so many holes in his performance that I was dissapointed before the wheel was spun.
I know it’s only entertainment, but your shows are always of such a high calibre and I felt the events were a cheap shot at the public. I’d love it if you returned to investigating mediums/clair voyants etc. These people often take advantage of others (my friends brother died and her mother has so far spent thousands ‘contacting’ him), and I loved watching you tear them apart!
Lots of Love,
Harrie
The one thing that ruined the casino thing for me was …………how do you get 5 grand out of your account at your bank without ordering the money in first. normally you have to give them 24 hours notice before withdrawing large amounts.
Liked what you did by getting one number out on the wheel though, that was really good.
he did mention that he had txt the studio to confirm he was in place, this means that potentially the computer – to – mobile trick could have been done.
either way derren your a genius!!
All my family were saying it was shit but i think you were brill man.. one off
amazing
cant wait until 3d in november, better luck next time
You are a remarkable person.
Love your shows.

I think that Derren actually guessed the wrong number on purpose. Think about the legal implications if he had won Ben £175k.
And those of you that actually believe that the guessed the lottery numbers are fools. Obviously just a camera trick in a bid for publicity.
Hey loved the series – sorry the casino act didnt work but the one where u subliminally implanted the message that u are hot did !!
Series was brilliant, thoroughly enjoyed it.
As for derren in 3d……well….all i can say is….MY GOD YES PLEASE lol!!
Don’t believe it for a second but entertaining stuff that makes you think a lot to work out how it’s done! That’s why we watch!
