Derren Brown - The Heist

This guy makes great TV programmes. The Heist explores how ordinary people can be persuaded to perform extraordinary acts. He selects susceptible people and puts them through a two week programme of activities beginning with a fake seminar. It's funny where he asks them to steal sweeties from a shop. At the end of the programme the real reason for putting them through the period where subliminal messages and heightened emotional states are passed onto them is revealed: passing a security guard standing by a green van with a passing car loudly playing "Can you feel it" by the Jackson Five - how many will try to rob the guard with a replica gun (handed out as a freebie at the end of the seminar)? Well, remarkably 3 out of 4 did. Like the best tele it made me uncomfortable and excited at the same time.
