Interesting show. Basic concept is that one individual is placed in an apocalypse situation in an attempt to make him more grateful for what he really has.

I rather liked it whilst having my reservations about Derren Brown* in general but I thought the concept was a clever one.

(not sure if my colonial chums will be able to use that link but I am sure the show will be available through the usual 'black' sources)

*Derren Brown is a glorified stage hypnotist and general showman who uses all sort of mind trickery and stuff.

He's a pretty well known (in this country at least) performer who reveals a lot of 'magic' tricks, and uses logic and persuasion to show how people can be manipulated by psychics and the like. I like his shows, I think they reveal how truth can be stranger than fiction - somehow the idea that we are so easily manipulated is more freakish to me than there being psychics.

I do think this show is a set up though, and purely for entertainment. Will be interesting to see how it ends.
