Derren Brown: The Experiments – THE ASSASSIN

Derren Brown returns to our screens with "The Experiments", a brand new four part series for Channel 4. Each stand-alone episode asks and answers a single question featuring the usual inventive and jaw dropping Derren Brown mixture of stunts, magic, illusion, suggestion and thought-provoking entertainment combined with tried and tested psychological experiments to illustrate how easily our behaviour can be manipulated.

In "The Assassin", the first show in the series, Derren Brown investigates hypnosis and asks if someone could be hypnotised into a killing a celebrity. Is this really possible? And who will be the celeb?

The Experiments – The Assassin, airs Friday 21st October at 9pm on Channel 4.
