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)

While meaning has been somewhat disproportionately extracted from, and projected onto, the Milgram experiments, there's no getting around the chill of their replication, or footage of it. (Of course the recreation here is not a real replication, but seems quite faithful as far as that goes.) Brown's larger deception results in some stirring footage in the end, but the skimpy runtime and lack of contextualization indicates the allegiance to the spectacle of this most Situationist-ish of magicians

Wasn't much jeopardy in this one; teaching The Apprentice-like-business-sorts to steal's like teaching a cat to chase mice.
