Guardian Says It All About Derek Ogilvie, ‘Baby Reader’

Funniest Moment Of The Year was the sight of Derek Ogilvie, Channel 5′s truly horrid “Baby Mind Reader”, bursting into self-pitying tears during The Million Dollar Psychic, when his powers were tested by scientists and found to be non-existent. This was quickly followed by the Most Depressing Moment Of The Year when the programme makers saw fit to round off the show by introducing him to a Dr Gerald Gluck, who stuck some EEG widgets on his head and concluded that his brain was doing something funny, which Derek naturally took as a confirmation of his abilities. Dr Gluck, incidentally, lists “energy healing” as one of his services, which makes him about as plausible a scientist as the average glove puppet.
