1 | ''Fear and Faith'' is a two-part Creator/DerrenBrown show from 2012 about, well, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin fear and faith]]; the first episode focuses on placebo drugs, the second on the psychology of spirituality and superstition. |
2 | ---- |
3 | !! ''Fear And Faith'' contains examples of: |
4 | * BarBrawl: Staged, naturally. |
5 | * DealWithTheDevil: Jokingly evoked by Derren at the start of episode two. It's a theme that runs through much of his work. |
6 | * TheEveryman: Played straight with most of the participants; later averted by Natalie. In contrast to most of the people Derren chooses to work with, she was picked out for her scepticism and strength of mind - purely to make the process of manipulation more challenging. |
7 | * FaceYourFears: The phobia sufferers by the end of episode one. |
8 | * GrievousBottleyHarm: Threatened during the brawl. |
9 | * LabcoatOfScienceAndMedicine: Worn by 'Professor Gladwell.' {{Justified|Trope}} because it's only there to play on the participants' notions of what a doctor should look like. |
10 | * MagicalGesture: Something remarkably close to a real life example is heavily featured in episode two. |
11 | * PerformanceAnxiety: Listed as a phobia by one of the participants, who loses all ability to sing if there's even the slightest chance she'll be overheard. |
12 | * PlaceboEffect: Tackled directly in the first episode and more vaguely in the second. |
13 | * PrimalFear: Two of the participants have a debilitating fear of heights. |
14 | * TheReveal: Episode one features an early reveal for the audience regarding the nature of Rumyodin, then a slightly less dramatic one regarding the scope of the show itself, and finally a big reveal for the participants. |
15 | ** Episode two also pops out reveals so often, for both the audience and the participants, that it's impossible to take anything on face value. |
16 | * SkepticNoLonger: Derren determines to bring this about in Natalie, if only temporarily. |
17 | * ShrinkingViolet: One of the participants begins the first episode as a reluctant example. |
18 | * SignificantAnagram: In TheReveal [[spoiler:when Derren reveals that Rumyodin is an anagram of ''Your Mind'']]. |
19 | * YourMindMakesItReal: In the most positive way. Rumyodin as the drug did nothing, it was the participants' belief that they could overcome their fear (and positive reinforcements) that helped. |
