As an avid fan of Most Haunted, they got rid of him because of what he was doing and they caught him cheating. Set him up on camera and he fell for it. He was full of BS but hilarious all the same
once apon a time the crew/show was legit and you would be correct but then as seasons went by you can tell they ''cheated'' a lot too for entertainment purpose, it became to obvious to me so i stopped watching , same for ghost adventures, zak the drama queen lol
"Mary loves Dick" Funniest Derek moment. He used to live up the road from me and shopped in my local supermarket, I ended up in the checkout queue next to him a few times. He was a big guy with a strange vibe about him.
@@Grandmastergav86 He used to wear a black leather cowboy hat and a trench coat and always looked like he had the weight of the world on his shoulders.
The two guys in the bottom corner are one of the show's resident parapsychologists and skeptic Matthew Smith and the show's resident historian Richard Felix, who did guided ghost tours of Derby Gaol and joined the team after they investigated Derby Gaol. They were part of the Most Haunted team and often took part in investigations. This must have been Most Haunted Live which was broadcast on TV live. They had a studio audience watching it live in some nearby studio. So some of the other people were part of the audience.
If you liked this you might like Clinton Baptiste he’s a character from Peter Kay’s sitcom Phoenix Nights and it’s basically a piss take out of psychics and mediums
Most Haunted was much better with Derek , it's usually interesting to see some of the less visited historic places which makes the show entertainment . Without him it is a British version of mainly imported American shows which take things far too seriously padded with loads of technology proving absolutely nothing .
"Thunder, Thunder, Thundercats.... 2:34 " 🤣Was he possessed by Lion-O. That's all I could think of when he started doing that. The people in the bottom corner I believe are the live audience that some of the episodes were filmed in front of. They used to show them from time to time to get their reactions.
INCOMING ..Lower hanging than the old ...JOLI ROGUE GUP...but will it be blonde or ginger Yvette this week ,never easy with night vision "action" but what a hook !
Sounds like Derek found the ..JOLI ROGUE GUP...Yvette had stashed away for the next Blonde or Ginger hair on night vision production meeting..Bless him
I have a friend who was a cameraman and was tasked with recording an event with Derek Acorah in Liverpool for ITV. It was unable to be broadcast, partially because his shoulders were jiggling with laughter, and partly because of the legal implications of who Derek contacted beyond the grave. It went something like this... D.A. "Hello. Is anybody here with us tonight?" Ghost:________________ D.A. "Michael? Michael who?" Ghost:________________ D.A. "Michael Jackson!... Is there anything you want to say to us Michael?" Ghost:________________ D.A. "Sorry. Sorry for what?" Ghost:________________ D.A. "For the Children?" 😆
this was to me the original and best that all similar programs of such like are based on, I like you are very sceptical of the whole thing but Derek for me made the program so entertaining and watchable. The episode when he got in contact with the spirit of the highway man Dick Turpin's mistress is priceless.
I swear that while I was watching your reaction, just at the point that D. Acorah was being possessed, there was an orb in the back right of your video 😮
My Great Great Great Grandfather is a Ghost at The Homestead Inn in Bracebridge Heath in Lincolnshire, it was a lunatic Asylum called St John's hospital.
He was a proven cheat, but the whole program was found to be the same. A load of crap! The team asks for something to happen, some evidence and when they do get a knock or similar... they all go charging out, screaming in terror, trampling over each other to escape 👏🤣
It’s is funny I swear he said once ‘I’m getting something through, yes I’m getting MARY , MARY LOVES DICK’ Check out Clinton Baptiste he’s a comedian pretending to be a psychic from the comedy show ‘Phoenix nights’ I think he copies some of Derek Acorahs mannerisms
I've just realised that the t shirt you're wearing has a Greek saying " Molon Labe " which means come and get them regarding their weapons Ancient Greeks saying to the Persians.
lol I was wiki-ing him and found that he was once a footballer who very briefly played for Wroxham Football Club (of current Welcome To Wroxham Rob McE and Ryan Reynolds fame). I will have to search for a biography on Derek!
Derek was a charlatan. He was an entertainer and constantly got caught out by the crew. They used to (in earshot of Derek) drop fake names of people and then low and behold, he’d bring up that name in the show and then proceed to get “taken over” by the fake made up character. Couple of examples were “Kreed Kafer” which turned out to be an anagram of Derek faker and another was “Rik Eedles” which was an anagram of Derek Lies. He wasn’t even their first choice according to Karl Beattie who I had the pleasure of meeting and chatting to at Fred Batts house (Clockhouse was an episode earlier in the series) The whole program was purely for entertainment. Word from someone behind the scenes was Richard Felix who was an historian in the show was nicknamed fingers felix because he had a habit of throwing things to make the crew jump. Many of those times they left it all in the program to add to the atmosphere.
French and Saunders did a very funny parody of Derek Acorah. I used to enjoy the show but when they started faking it all I couldn't watch it anymore. Ahead of their time though as 90% of these shows are fake (pretending they are real) now. The British public were not happy however and a case was taken against them with the UK broadcasting authority at the time.
This looks like most haunted live, the team are out doing a live ghost Hunt and the people you see in the corner are sitting in a studio watching them, people at home could alsol ring in with their sightings
My dad Spiratualist, service when he died. Comforting, yet heartbreaking, imo. Thank you for sharing this. It hurts, heaven forbid we suffer. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. 🇬🇧❤👵
Poor old Derek has passed. But he was entertaining. He was rated a a good medium if you believe in that kind of thing. I always had the feeling that the the Lady (Yvette Fielding) and the other chap (her husband) who created the show - may have enchouraged him to go overboard. But who knows - its is funny looking back.
They sacked him in the end due to his fakeness. He was set up. media attention was directed at the show in 2005, after Acorah claimed to channel spirits with names that had allegedly been suggested to him in advance, such as "Rik Eedles" and "Kreed Kafer", which are anagrams of "Derek Lies" and "Derek Faker" He’s dead himself now so probably haunting people himself 😂
The people in the corner are those who have requested his help to get rid of their 'troublesome spirit' LOL.. . Derek was quite serious about his ..er gifts.
omg - we watched ALL of the Most Haunted series. Great fun, but a load of old nonsense ! We went to see D.A. at the Bristol Beacon (when it was still Bristol Colston Hall) for "An evening with ...". Biggest fishing trip I've ever been on without a lake or a boat! "does anyone recognise the name Mary..?" [tumbleweed] "is there anyone called Michael, or did Michael pass over concerned about money? [tumbleweed]. Eventually, one lad eventually responded. "your aunty Louise is looking forward to seeing you raise your two little boys" - Epic fail as the lad was there with his boyfriend... Very entertaining and it's always nice to visit Bristol for a night out. Most Haunted was a genuinely fun show - but they should have 'rotated' the 'psychics' more often. Richard Felix (the historian, who I met at an event in Skirrid Inn Abergavenny ) was really good - such a nice chap.
My sister loved this show and semi believed it was true and couldn’t sleep. She lent me the DVD box set back in the day. Me and mates had Most Haunted beer nights and would be wetting ourselves literally when Derek had a possession 😂. You must watch “Most Farted”.
Don't waste your time on it. The "Ghost Adventure" guys are much better and more entertaining. Better spending your time on good documentaries like"The soldier who fought WWII with a bow-and-arrow" (or a title similar).
If you like this you will love "most farted" someone edited the clips from this show and placed fart noises in it. For some reason it works better than you think and I nearly shit out a lung from laughing so hard. I will post a link in your discord
All jokes aside, the show did run for a long time, had a big following and went to some pretty interesting historical places, Derek's possessions were always entertaining 🤣 make of them what you will, but beyond that they did catch a few intriguing things that were difficult to explain.
Honestly did at one point nearly believe it, but as time went on more over the years, it just got too much fake. Even the show got more and more fake especially as they mentioned everywhere they went that there was a grey lady. Also, the episodes just got less interesting as time went on with them showing only orbs and not full apparitions. I think ghost adventures did a better job at ghost hunting, do suspect they could also be faking it? To dramatize it, but they seem more realistic than these. But thanks for reacting, giving your thoughts about this UK show and look forward to seeing more reactions in future. Suggestion, would you react to Ant and Dec videos a.k.a aswell Im a Celebrity - Get Me Out of Here?
Your highness I have to say its real,, there are many machivies spirits around us,, also earth bound spirits ( Ghosts) which are people who were in such a state of denial when they crossed over they chose to stay on Earth not knowing there even dead,, or what year it may be,, People like Derek can move into spirit and see and experience what we cant see with our eyes ,, We are spirits having a Human experience ,, not Humans having a Spiritual experience. Love from Ireland were Myths are generally true
She has a RU-vid channel. Evett. Not sure what it’s called, she and her husband Carl did a Halloween thing. I didn’t watch it because they are fakes. This video your showing ruined their TV careers. 😂👍
I’ve interacted with several mediums/ psychics in my life. All of them (literally every single one) claim I’m into motorbikes and I’m a rock musician. Funnily enough I have long hair, a beard, facial piercings, and I’m covered in tattoos. But the fact is I drive a 7 seater family sized car and have zero interest in motorbikes, I can’t even ride a bicycle very well. As for being a musician I’m totally tone deaf, and too be honest I barely listen to music. I mostly listen to audio books and podcasts. I can understand how someone would assume I was a heavy metal biker type. But when a psychic uses their psychic powers to tell me I’m that. When in reality I’m more of a comic book nerd and a gamer. With literally no interest in motorbikes or being a musician. You know they full of crap.
