Now I have to say that I have worn weary of people saying “look into my eyes, not around the eyes…” to me in the Kenny Craig style…

I think ‘Little Britain’ pretty much nailed stage hypnotists…

I need to see this episode and am going to get hold of a copy… It is having an alluring hypnotic effect on me!

I actually saw this episode of Dalziel and Pascoe when it was aired in the UK last year because I wanted to see how hypnosis was being portrayed. Although the plot has a very good twist, it does paint hypnotherapy in a very strange light – one that is totally unrecognisable to me! This is a real shame because I think that the truth – the amazing power of our minds – is actually much more intriguing than any fiction.
