There's no better way to honour a dead person than to pretend that you can speak to them from beyond the grave on live TV, that's what I've always said. All the better if you can get June Sarpong to host it. So, Sky One have really hit the jackpot for me by announcing two such events.
Set to air next month, 'Michael Jackson: The Live Séance' and 'Michael Jackson: The Search For His Spirit', will feature minor celebrity medium Derek Acorah speaking (and I use that term loosely) to the dead star.
Sarpong said of the shows: "I think viewers will find this programme intriguing and will want to tune in to see what happens. It's the first time I've done anything like this but I'm open minded and can't wait to see what Derek uncovers".
As you can probably tell, I'm a little more sceptical than June. However, if Derek Acorah pretends to be possessed by Michael Jackson, starts talking in a squeaky voice and then moonwalks across the stage, it will be the televisual event of the decade and I will never say a bad word about him again.
