David Tennant Tricked By Derren

The Sun published a scoop yesterday regarding current Doctor Who David Tennant’s appearance in Derren Browns new series of Trick or Treat that begins on May 2.
Here’s what the article said:

DOCTOR WHO star David Tennant has been doing a bit of time travelling with the help of magician Derren Brown.

The actor was fooled into thinking he could see into the past and future. Derren swooped after hiding in David’s make-up truck.

The illusionist said: “David’s the only person who has ever screamed when I surprised them.

“But he reacted well to the trick, which used visualisation and suggestion techniques. He seemed to enjoy it.”

See for yourself on Derren’s Trick Or Treat series, beginning on May 2.

Volunteers pick either a trick or treat card which corresponds to the stunt Derren plays on them.

Another episode to look forward to will see him kidnapping a woman at 4am, putting her in a sack then throwing her into a river.

Let’s hope the new series is better than the last one.
