Why would he recount this story to a random person in the crowd?
Not saying it didnt happen as it obviously did, but dont you think it is strange.
I think maybe he was having a wind up.
Remember They knew we were getting this kind of footage on BP

Morning Jon
I'd love to answer your questions from the previous thread , but unfortunately , in a spooky sort of way , its been locked
MHL wasn't the only TV programme using every possible method of TV deception......but its a very good example.
( Recent revelations about the Beeb and ITV are just the tip of the iceberg , there's much more to come .)
Your cousin will recall that we put the wind up a previous production company way back when they realised that their little ploy of using pre records , then presenting and interacting with them as "live" , had been exposed......and when they asked viewers to phone in and vote for a location , when that location had already been chosen and in some cases pre recorded.
Its no different to the phony voting lines used these days for the wannabee talent shows. The public doesnt decide who goes out , the producer does !
Nothing is real in TV , not even the News in some cases ( I cite here a journalist who faked a news report from a submarine supposedly on active duty in the Gulf ...the sub was in fact in dock , in Scotland .....When the deception came to light , he took his own life in shame. desparate measures !
Television is about deception and the cynical manipulation of viewers .....even the recent directive from the BBC that all its staff had to go on an honesty course won't change things there , so you can imagine what goes on in the production meetings of the fringe satellite channels
As for Dr Bull , I'm pretty sure that , sadly , he was convinced for at least a short period , but only he knows the truth.
What is certain is that the incident happened and it shook him up enough to relate it on three occassions within a matter of minutes!
I suppose its quite handy pretending to be a medium . You can claim that your actions weren't your own , but those of the "spirit" possessing you , and get away with anything you like
I don't somehow think that defence will hold water after May 26th , but we will wait and see.
