Award-winning psychological illusionist, Derren Brown, comes to BBC Entertainment in regional premieres of his top British series.

 

Wielding his powers of perception over unsuspecting audiences, Derren Brown hosts a number of specials and series acquired by the channel exclusively for Asia. The titles, including Derren Brown: Trick Of The Mind; Russian Roulette; Séance: Messiah: Mind Control: Something Wicked This Way Comes; The Heist and The Series will premiere on BBC Entertainment in July.

 

Also new to BBC Entertainment and Asia, is the inspired Star Stories series – a six-part exposé of the world’s top superstars. In an age where celebrity worship is the new religion, these fantastical dramatizations reveal the stars’ stories behind their public images – but these are the tales the stars would never want unveiled!

 

Sneak a peak at the rollercoaster lives of Madonna and Guy, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas, Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt, Sadie Frost and Jude Law, George Michael and Victoria and David Beckham. The ensemble cast includes Kevin Bishop and Daisy Beaumont.

 

The series of Derren Brown programmes are Objective Productions and Star Stories is a Channel Four production, both distributed by C4i.
