IMHO, he has done it for so long now, it just comes as second nature to him, and of cause all the others go along with him as it makes for good TV.

Has anyone had a 'good/factual' reading by Derek Acorah or any medium? Firstly let me welcome you to the forum! And to answer you, no Derek Acorah is not a real psychic, he performs a psychic act for entertainment only, as described be his own legal disclaimers. Despite claims to the contrary there are NO laws forcing him to use an entertainment disclaimer, this is purely his own decision. And since mediumship is impossible by its very definition, and no evidence to the contrary exists despite over 100 years of very real scientific study, that would lead me to believe that there is no such thing as a legit medium

His drink driving bothers me more than his bad acting!

Well he got banned, and doubt he would pass a driving test if he had to take it again, so its poor old long suffering Gwen who will be driving him about from now on.
Derek has had issues with his drinking for years, I just hope nearly killing himself and someone else will finally wake him up, and get him off the spirits.

I remember when all of this started Jon..in fact when it was a mere twinkle in a certain persons eye, we had many a conversation about it all those years ago and I remember being extremely happy that the guy had finally been exposed. As you know, I'm not as cynical towards all mediums, but right from the off Derek was out of order. I personally felt he completely crossed the line when I researched the Clerkenwell episode, discovered his huge and dis respectful reading there and posted everything I found out on the original MH forum. I don't believe all mediums deliberately try and fool people, I think some genuinely believe what they are doing and that there are many aspects to it which require research, but I can't stand Mr Acorah, because he truly crossed the line on so many occasions and although I could find his acting amusing and entertaining to a point, I feel he ultimately dis respected the dead and their relatives for his own gain. A file as wide as a suitcase could be built up against him as evidence of deliberate fraud, and yet he was never charged. Seems very wrong to me. As for his drink driving, I abhor it, and when I read of his last accident I seriously fail to see how anyone can stand by him. Yet, still has has devoted fans....really is crazy.

Yes he still has his fans and they will ignore any crime he commits however abhorent, but then that is the true believer syndrome at its extreme

I reckon Derek was an absolute toss pot, think most people only tuned in to see what role he was gonna throw out that night. Zero points on his acting skills though.
