At around thirty minutes there are a few f-words. The first one is the commercial break preview. The second one is the replay of the preview. At about thirty-seven minutes, there is a third f-word when the fake pastor messes up his sermon. The fourth one is at about fifty minutes when "Pastor James" gets upset. The fifth and sixth times are when Derren repeats it. The seventh is at an hour when they replay the first f-word. This is British TV and the f-word does not carry the same weight there as it does in the United States.
Despite the language, I think that it is important to see how things attributed to the power of God can be replicated by magic tricks. While some frauds may have deluded themselves, the trick of growing limbs is the mark of a knowing fraud.
With the cameras in hot pursuit, Derren faces his toughest project yet, going in search of an unsuspecting member of the British public prepared to adopt the guise of a pastor and miracle worker.
His chosen one then has six months to learn the trade and flourish across the pond as a convincing pastor.
The final phase of the volunteer's extraordinary challenge sees them attempt to perform faith healing miracles live in Texas, but will Derren's new recruit be accepted as a faith healer or cast away as fake healer? (fromhttp://derrenbrown.co.uk/blog/2011/04/derren-brown-miracles-sale-tonight-9pm/)
