Have to agree not as good as last weeks, but still interesting.
There is nothing the British public like more than kicking a man when he's down, but as said above, there was nothing there which bucked the trend of previous tests of this.
Lets face it, he could have carried out this "experiment" in London, Birmingham, Manchester or anywhere else over the summer, and found out that mob mentality rules.
Have to admit that the silence was very telling, as everyone realised they had put that guy in that situation. As a viewer at home, and given the fact we knew it was an experiment, my first reaction when he got run over was that it was a set up. Obviously, given the audience didn't know that, and that they had actually chosen to put him there, it must have been worse for them.

The minute he started running towards the T-junction it reminded me of a short film on C4 where a bloke is teasing his girlfriend with a plastic spider. She jumps back and gets nailed by a car. The joke suddenly isn't quite so funny any more!
I expected it to be cleverer than that... surely the audience voting that way is nothing that wasn't obvious... people would put him though uncomfortable situations for a laugh... look at "I'm a celebrity" challenges etc... I'm suprised that they belived it - knowing Derren Brown, and knowing it's a TV show.
