Have I Been Here Before? ITV

Monday 13 August 2007 1:00pm - 1:30pm on ITV1.

Have our souls lived before? Do you believe in live after death? Where do our dreams come from? Have you ever met someone and been convinced you have met them in a previous life? All these questions, and more, will be tackled in this fascinating daytime series.

Hosted by Phillip Schofield, Have I Been Here Before? will offer the chance for celebrity guests to see if they have lived before… in a past life.

The celebrities will be taken back to their past lives by experienced regression therapist Andrea Foulkes, and in the process they often reveal some deeply intimate thoughts about their current lives.

The Have I Been Here Before? detective, Jules Hudson, a qualified historian and archeologist, will investigate the historical accuracy of the regression, looking through archives, history and locations to establish any credibility for the past life recounted and a team of experts will offer possible explanations for the results.

Phillip will reveal the results of the investigation to the celebrity and discuss their feelings about the regression and any effects they feel the experience has had on their life.

Phillip says: ”I want to know whether I’ve lived before and I think a lot of the celebrities that we’re going to talk to also want to know that because if you’ve lived before you’ll live again.

“Some of the people have come up with stunning and extraordinary facts that have checked out historically and they can become very emotional when confronted with these facts about their past lives.”
