IN Derren Brown: Apocalypse, the man in the title tries something altogether different.

His latest mind-boggling feat sees him attempt to convince one person that the planet has been devastated by a catastrophic meteorite strike, that zombies have taken over the land and he is one of a handful of survivors.

The survivor is someone who takes his life for granted, but he won’t for much longer, as this meticulously crafted adventure threatens to give him just the wake-up call he needs.

For a man who causes as much uproar among the public as he does sheer bewilderment, perhaps the biggest trick he has yet to pull off is convincing the public that he is just an ordinary, quiet bloke.
