Yesterday - 09/09/2009, Derren Brown predicted the lottery numbers live on Channel 4 (UK). It was brodcast live at 10.35 GMT BST, the exact same time the BBC brodcast the live lottery results.

Do you believe he actually did it, or do you think this is all set up?

It's fixed because all broadcasts have delays.
What he could have done is had different delays between the two channels. The first channel has a longer delay while his has a shorter delay. This gives him time to copy down the numbers.
When the broadcasts go out, they'll both by synced and it will seem like it's happening at the same time.
Both Channel 4 and BBC must have been in on the trick.
BBC could have had a 10 second delay. Channel 4 could have a 5 second delay and give access to a real time live feed from the BBC. This would give Darren 5 seconds to see the real time live feed from BBC, write down the numbers in 5 seconds.
The audience will then see both delayed feeds and it will look like they're happening simultaneously.

That 10 second delay comes in handy for scams like this - I don't believe it for a minute! It may have looked like simultaneous broadcasting, but it wasn't!
