Will Matt Save The Day? - Derren Brown: Hero at 30,000 Feet

If we do have a doctor or nurse or medic on board, will you please make yourself known to the cabin crew, please? Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention, please? The captain has informed me that due to unforeseen circumstances, we do need to divert the aircraft, and we'll be landing at our nearest airport as soon as possible. Again, we will get you there, sir, I promise. Is there a problem with the plane? Again, the captain's holding the plane. Seriously, you've got to find out, come back. He hasn't told me anything, he's just... He hasn't told you anything? I don't know. Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention, please? Due to a medical emergency, I'm sorry to report that the captain is currently incapacitated and will be unable to land the aircraft safely. The cabin crew are fully prepared to deal with emergency situations and will shortly be demonstrating to you the safety procedures applicable to this aircraft. Please remain calm and listen to our instructions really carefully. Matt's 30-day countdown is coming to an end. He will have 60 seconds to make his choice. We are, however, in a position now where it has become necessary to ask if there is a passenger on board who will be willing to help land this plane. If you are prepared to help, please make yourself known to the crew. If Matt doesn't volunteer, he will never be the hero. He now has less than a minute to change his world once and for all. Matt's heightened state allows me to quickly put him into a hypnotic sleep. The events you've witnessed were safe, controlled and ultimately unrealistic. They were agreed in advance with the airline and relevant authorities. The last thing Matt was aware of was walking towards the door of the cockpit. When I wake him up, he will believe he's entering the same cockpit faced with the challenge of landing the plane and saving the lives of over 100 passengers. ..which will genuinely take off on a one-and-a-half-hour journey. We've rigged the plane with hidden cameras and microphones. Heading down any minute, so you probably... Any minute. Yeah, you'll probably hear it coming before he sees it, so you probably want to think about getting out.
