The first of a two-part show, psychological illusionist Derren Brown unleashes his most audacious plan yet - to convince one person that the planet has been devastated by a catastrophic meteorite strike, that lethal, infected zombies now roam the land and he is one of a mere handful of survivors. Our 'survivor' is someone who takes life for granted, and has yet to truly value what he has. The adventure that awaits him is meticulously crafted to give him the ultimate wake-up call, and teach him valuable life-lessons.

Is this the same guy who did the russian roulette thing? That was pretty cool

It all falls apart as soon as he walks up and goes "sleeep!"

Hypnotic suggestion can only go so far. The subconscious mind may believe something is true but other parts of the Mind will disagree.

Brown is reprogramming those other parts to convince the guy whats happening is real.

Breaking down the checks and balances. Like a network the Brain is drawing information from many sources verifying this is really happening.
