The 90-second promotional advert to mark the US channel's launch in Europe features a hidden camera stunt where members of the public are encouraged to press a button to see what happens.

A sign beside the button says 'Push to add drama' and that's exactly what happens as a number of stunts leave passers-by stunned in the Flemish town featured.

Very much staged.. Even the audience were paid actors (or extras) I'm guessing as they were almost as entertaining as the "drama" .. Similar to the sort of thing they do at Movieworld on the Gold coast... :goodjob:

That's a shame. I thought it was real.   :neutral:

The bystander reactions could have been real but I doubt they would have risked setting it all up without having some paid actors to interact like the guy who pressed the button..
