Under the guise of a motivational seminar and a follow-up documentary, The Heist was a one-off special. Could Derren persuade any of his group of responsible, middle-management businessmen and women to steal £100,000 in an armed robbery? Such was the premise for one of Derren's most ambitious and challenging specials to date. The programme demonstrates how little it takes to cross into deviant behaviour, and is a masterclass in persuasion. (channel4.com)
