Bob, do you think Ciaran would appear on a real paranormal investigation show if it was full of fakers? Of course not, the show is a spoof, Ciaran knows that, he is doing a paid acting job. At most he only gets about £1000 per episode and then bonuses for the live shows Well tbh I've never seen any parapsychologist on MH do what one would assume a parapsychologist might actually do. They perform no experiments, they do not correct the hosts when they reveal innacurate information, they offer no logical alternatives or insight into an alleged phenomena (I recall matthew smith used to, but dr bull went all wootastic on his ass) . I really dont know why they are even hired to appear on MH unless they are there is the capacity of a psuedoscientist to bolster claims for the paranormal by association. If I had hired a parapsychologist for use on my TV show, I would definately get my monies worth out of them. They just dont seem to do anything except potter about saying "interesting" occaisionally. They seem very non commital when asked a direct question too, which seems at odds with their role as an educator.

They are as scripted as anyone else. Ok so Ciaran can ad lib etc, and even do a few silly experiments, but all are controlled by his producers and directors.
As an actor he can only do what he is told, the title of parapsychologist is not a scientific term on MH it is more akin to ghost hunter with a bit of science knowledge
