Illusionist Derren Brown on looking back at some of his most famous tricks before performing a live stunt
DERREN BROWN: 20 YEARS OF MIND
CONTROL: LIVE
Sunday, 9 pm C4 Entertainment
Q. Does it seem like 20 years since your first TV show?
A. I’m 50 next year, so this feels like celebrating two important landmarks!
Q.What have been your favourite stunts?
A. Apocalypse, where we made someone think they were living through a zombie invasion, was probably my favourite, plus it won a BAFTA! But Hero at 30,000 Feet, where someone landed a plane and Pushed to the Edge, where we used social compliance to persuade someone to push a stranger offa roof, were also amazing achievements.
