The, vaguely strange, tv programme Toyah guested in back in December 2005 on E4, Rajan And His Evil Hypnotists, is repeated later this month for the first time in over six years.
Toyah is interviewed by someone who seems to think they are hypnotised, resulting in an amusing discussion. She has no idea the “interviewer” is hypnotised. Post interview, Toyah says: “I’ve just been interviewed by someone who didn’t seem to be completely giving me their attention.”
