Synopsis
Under the guise of a motivational seminar and a follow-up documentary, The Heist is a one-off special.
Can Derren persuade any of his group of responsible, middle-management businessmen and women to steal £100,000 in an armed robbery?
Such is the premise for one of Derren's most ambitious and challenging specials to date.
It is a look at what little it takes to cross into deviant behaviour, and a masterclass in persuasion.
