"In July 2001, Acorah was asked to feature in a new British television programme called Haunting Truths which was subsequently sold to Living and renamed Most Haunted. It was at this time that he arguably became Britain's most widely known medium and was described as "the sexiest man in Spiritualism". He worked on the show for six series until his departure in 2005. Acorah claims that he left the show to pursue other projects although the show's presenter, Yvette Fielding is reported to have said that he was asked to leave after Ciarán O'Keeffe, a parapsychologist for the show, fed him misinformation to which he later responded during an investigation, presenting himself as being possessed by the spirit of a fictional character, which the Fielding and the programme makers to question Acorah's credibility. Acorah said he was possessed by the spirit of a man called Kreed Kafer. In a later interview the programme's parapsychologist, Ciarán O'Keeffe, said that the character was a fabrication he invented, and an anagram of "Derek faker". O'Keeffe had fed this name to Acorah prior to the programme, and he had subsequently repeated it during filming.[6] In a separate interview, the show's presenter and executive producer Yvette Fielding said "Unbeknown to us, Ciaran O’Keeffe had suspicions about Derek and decided to plant some information to see if it would be repeated. He left a piece of paper around with the name ‘Kreed Kafer’ on it and said, within earshot of Derek, that he was a nasty South African jailor. When we started filming, Derek decided to get possessed by this fake person. The name is actually an anagram of Derek Faker. We tell people everything is real, then it turns out he was a fake, so he had to go." She added "I was more angry than anything. I was upset that someone we considered to be close could do that.""


That is brilliant! for the definitive commentary/parody of such mediums the South Park episode The Biggest Douche in the Universe is highly recommended.

I thought this was a different thread for some reason. I didn't realise the "What films have you purchased recently, or are going to purchase? thread was the one drifting off-topic - if I had i would have shut up a few posts back as this thread is always in use (and for some reason I have no issue with smaller, less-popular threads going off-topic a bit)

ANYWAY



today I bought Kill List and Blue Valentine on bluray from That's Entertainment in their 2 for £5 dealy. Woo!

Catriona MacColl in 'City of the Living Dead'?

Next you'll be saying that the film was fictional, and not a documentary!

For many years I classified it as the worst film I had ever seen in my life.

But then I saw Signs and Small Town Folk, so Highlander is only third worst now!

I've just done a pic post of Castellari's The Big Racket on the film stills thread.

A brilliant film and always a bargain on Amazon.

That was the first Castellari film I saw and it is indeed brilliant. Shame about the English dub though.
