The Heist

Blurring the lines between what's good TV and what is the forbidden taboo was tonight once again a Derren Brown show called Heist. Basically he brain washes or "programs" 4 people to (without knowing) into stealing £100,000 from a security guard (played by an actor) [they got toy guns and everything!] they even sealed off a portion of London (near the bank of London) to make it all happen. 3 of the 4 stole the money and ran as fast as they could to try and get away, before being cornered by camera men and Derren himself, they were then at the end of the show "de-programmed" it was addictive viewing, but I'm sure it will inspire at least one person to actually go and steal some money, and when they stand up for their crimes in court no doubt they will say "Derren made me do it, him and his evil Nazi mind tricks" Quite why I had to bring Nazis into this post I don't know.
