On 5 October at 9pm, Derren Brown will attempt not to shoot himself in the head, live on Channel 4.

Filmed in a secret location, one person selected from the thousands who applied will load a real handgun with one bullet and then hand it to Derren. Using a series of psychological tests, Derren will then determine which chamber contains the bullet, put the gun to his head, and fire until he comes to the live chamber.

Your thoughts please.

Should be an interesting evening. I've never seen somebody blow their head off live on tv before.

Should be good - there must be some trickery involved - after all he is a magician in all but name.

He's on the show today as well, which should be interesting

Well, Derren has got to be better at mind control than Chris' attempts otherwise he's as good as dead.

This stunt sickens me. I'm not going to watch because I think I'll be traumatised if it goes wrong.

I'd personally only want to see it if it went wrong, otherwise it's boring. Maybe he could just be injured by it...

That's sick though. In fact the whole stunt's sick. What is the actual point of the stunt apart from the fact that it could go wrong? I'd much prefer to watch it if I knew the bullet was a blank, at least then I could laugh if he got it wrong.

The blast from the blank would kill him anyway from that range.

He was sounding rather worried about it on the show today, his voice kept breaking all the way through the interview.
By MC

and he said if he doesn't get a strong enough feeling about which chamber the bullet is in then he won't go through with it anyway...

which surely begs the question...why do it in the first place?
