Channel 595 continues to be the maddest – and therefore the greatest – channel in the world. Discuss.

OK peeps, you’re gonna need to find 7 minutes to spare, and before you watch, you sort of have to read this…

In this clip, Gilbert Deya’s TV station, DBN (Sky channel 595) is up to its superlative craziness again. Look out for:

1) The way Gilbert Deya snatches his mobile phone to check his text message while they are singing
2) Have you ever seen a TV presenter just get up and leave in the middle of a show because he was ‘too sleepy’?
3) Listen out for what sounds like arguing in the background once Deya has left
4) Watch the other presenter try to make up stuff for three minutes
5) Now – this is the best bit: KEEP WATCHING – yes – through the whole boring bit at the end, because I guarantee you will not find a sweeter punchline to any clip than this. Just listen out for it. The last few secs. Ahh it’s is so worth the wait…

Now you may watch:

I waited 7 whole minutes … and then it hit me … and yes it was worth it.

“There are Christians and then there are Christians … and some Christians who are half and half.”

Thank Jesus for Gilbert Deya and DBN!!! That ending has quite literally knocked my socks off.

This is the guy who created all of those “Miracle Births” a few years ago, isn’t it?

Sweet dreams, Archbishop Deya.

4 Nick August 18, 2009 at 2:36 pm

LMAO you are right, I was starting to get bored but I stuck it to the end and busted out laughing, what on earth, why would the caller wait till then?? XD

5 Tom Daylight August 18, 2009 at 2:48 pm

Hang on, it says “recorded phone-in”, why the hell didn’t they bother editing it?!!

6 Stan August 18, 2009 at 4:02 pm

Arf! Poor love.

7 Kelda August 18, 2009 at 4:14 pm

Oh that was genius. Absolutely genius. I bet the woman was praying for Jesus to send her the money to pay for her enourmous phone bill.

8 Nat Saunders August 18, 2009 at 4:21 pm

Oh Em Gee. The ending took it to another level. So glad I watched all seven minutes. Thank you! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

9 Robert Popper August 18, 2009 at 5:00 pm

Your pleasure Sir.

10 Tom Mitchell August 18, 2009 at 5:30 pm

Is he drinking beer?

11 Tom Mitchell August 18, 2009 at 5:32 pm

I also very much like the sound accompanying Deya’s exit.

12 Tim Atkins August 18, 2009 at 5:53 pm

Mind blowing. I know what my set will be tuned into later. It really is utterly remarkable. I fully appreciate you bringing this to our attentions.

13 Pete August 18, 2009 at 6:44 pm

He done a little burp too. That made me laugh

14 Sean O'Brien August 18, 2009 at 7:11 pm

I love the creeking door sounds in the background like it’s being filmed in a community centre or something!

15 Ian B August 18, 2009 at 7:16 pm

I trusted you, Mr Popper.

You did not disappoint.

16 Cooper August 18, 2009 at 7:58 pm

Oh Lordy that ending is outstanding. I would have stopped watching had you not said. Good work sir. Glourious.

17 Pete Hewitt August 18, 2009 at 8:04 pm

Does anyone else get the impression that the “please text: +44″ instruction ends in that mobile he keeps checking?

18 Robert Popper August 18, 2009 at 8:13 pm

Thanks!

19 Robert Popper August 18, 2009 at 8:14 pm

Oh – I didn’t notice that. Nice!

20 Turbo Cowboy August 18, 2009 at 8:50 pm

I love the sms alarm sound on his cell (aka the tweeting sound) :D

21 riChchestMat August 18, 2009 at 10:40 pm

Holy shit you weren’t kidding

22 Adam K August 19, 2009 at 8:03 am

genius, including:

- he asks her to say Thank You Jesus – 7 times (the last being the loudest) but she only manages 6.

- no one answers the phone in the background

-when talking about where the caller is from they refer to the magical continent “Europa” or did I dream that

As brilliant and subtle as Deya’s megalomania and the remarkable solo performance of that other guy are, I’m afraid they can’t dislodge the Austin Public Access crew from that special place in my heart… Cookin Good with Arcie and Shasta, the cultists, this poor insane woman (http://www.break.com/usercontent/2008/3/Crazy-Lady-468106.html) and more. What public access is ABOUT.

24 Kev Pick August 19, 2009 at 3:09 pm

Brilliant. I also like the ‘sleepiness’ and vurping burps. Exactly what tincture is in their drinks?

25 Bongleburt Doppelganger August 22, 2009 at 5:40 pm

To start with I thought they were singing “Automatic Cod Reserve!” I wonder whether Robin Cooper has ever thought of making a phone call to this wondrous telechannel?

26 Robert Popper August 23, 2009 at 6:33 pm

Hilarious. Automatic cod reserve! Yes I managed to get through to the channel finally, two days ago. Will post some time.

27 Wowser August 24, 2009 at 10:22 pm

I like the bit…

“Thank you Je…”

“ONE!”

“Thank you J…”

“TWO!”

28 Joellifer August 28, 2009 at 3:34 pm

I like, “SEEVVVEEENNN” (shutup now countinglady). This clip frustrates me so much: crazyman #2 seems to prefer Gilbert Deya to Jesus. O yes, just to clarify Jesus doesn’t demand that people donate to DBN in order to be healed.
Do you think she’s still there? Waiting patiently on the end of the line for the 7th ‘thankyou Jesus?’

29 Joellifer August 28, 2009 at 3:42 pm

Mr Popper, I’m awfully sorry, I obviously do not want to have this published but are you the Co-op humblebee? I evidently only watch Neighbours in order to catch the wondrous (most mathematical) bee but after a summer of Australian soap, the novelty of bumble mathematics has not worn off.

30 Robert Popper August 28, 2009 at 11:06 pm

Ahem. Um…er…

31 passLion August 29, 2009 at 8:04 pm

The other presenter’s blinking A LOT!

32 AWard September 19, 2009 at 3:38 pm

If you can find a clip of his evening programme (around 8.15pm on Thursday, 17th September 2009) PLEASE, PLEASE put it on your website. The clip I am referring to is the “healing” of a man who, in Mr Deya’s – oops, sorry, I mean Archbishop Deya’s – words “has not had a wee wee for TWO WHOLE YEARS!!!” What follows (this chappy with the urine problem announcing his problem before describing his first ‘slash’ for 2 years) is classic Channel 595: lots of dancing, etc., etc. followed by a wonderful comment from Gilbert and his co-host. I just wish I’d videoed it…

33 Robert Popper September 19, 2009 at 10:25 pm

If only I could go back in time. Wow that sounds incredible.
