Guess what? Derren Brown's series are going to be aired in local channel.

BBC Entertainment brings to Asia a little magic and big star quality with new acquisitions

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.

BBC Entertainment is wholly-owned by BBC Worldwide. Available in Asia on: True Visions Channel 35 (Thailand), Astro Channel 26 (Malaysia), Now Channel 529 (Hong Kong), Starhub Channel 76 (Singapore) and Skylife Channel 334 (Korea)

For those of you interested in Mentalism, I strongly encourage you to watch his shows.

Also, watching Derren perform would be a great lesson on how to routine your tricks and the wonders of misdirection.

A lesson in elegance itself.

Derren is totally brilliant.

This is good news indeed. Anyone got any airing dates yet? I've not seen any adverts on Astro or anywhere else.

So far I've only seen advert on Channel 26, which is also the channel that is airing his shows. It is an advert for July's highlights of the channel, and Derren Brown is mentioned briefly. I don't know the airing dates though.

Russian Roulette 10pm tonight, don't miss it guys!

Oh crap missed it. The only two Derren shows I haven't seen are Russian Roulette and The Gathering.

Oh well. There's always Youtube.
