There's going to be another live psychic test after the Channel 5 one failed so miserably.

The makers of 'How Telepathic Are You?' are asking for people who have had extraordinary telepathic experiences.
"Have you ever had a telepathic dream? Have you ever had the feeling that a relative is ill only to discover that you're correct? Do you think about someone then they call you?"

I bet I know what you're thinking.

You would have thought Channel 5 had more sense after they ran the Secrets of The Psychics show recently.:(

from beonscreen.com. a website that advertises vacancies for contestants and audience tickets for tv shows.

Let's not jump to conclusions. If everyone were told that this was going to be a psychic debunking exercise I doubt you'd get many telepaths actually signing up. The advert does say that they are going to "test" the nation's telepathic powers. It may be that this will be a well run, objective test.

If not, then we can complain to Channel 5, but not before the program airs.

(Just to clarify, I didn't say it is Channel5 that are making/airing the programme.)
What I am saying is that after their spectacular failure, why is there a sudden need for another programme like this?
By the sound of the ad - "Do you think about someone then they call you?" - it is being put together by people who think that this is some kind of psychic phenomenon that needs investigating.
Yes, it could be a ruse to publicly embarrass believers, but people will only talk about the programme if something spectacular happens. Nobody learned from the Ch5 ‘test’.
