said she couldn't remember agreeing to it. While playing Scrabble with his aged mother who was in hospital, he hypnotised her and a nurse into thinking 'cupboardy' was a real word, however after thinking he'd successfully hypnotised her, the nurse soon said to his mother "you're right Mrs Craig, he can't really do it!". He crashed his car into another one, and hypnotised a security guard, a witness and the car owner, to make sure he wasn't seen. He also hypnotised an unfortunate passer-by at a car boot sale, forcing him to buy the complete series of Blackadder (although the third series was missing) and Red Dwarf series 1 on video, neither of which his victim had any intention of buying. However, after trying to convince him to buy Paul Merton's version of The Blood Donor, the man simply replied "yeah, don't push your luck mate". He seemed to hypnotise his mother into bringing him snacks and drinks as he watched TV (saying "You may be old and recovering from double hip surgery but you're still more than capable of bringing in the sugar bowl") and then allowing him to watch Thundercats when she wanted to switch over to Songs of Praise . Then, when she told him to get off the sofa because she was going to have her friends over, he tried to hypnotise her again - but she asked him to wait for her to put her glasses on, so that it will work properly this time.
