2. oh my goodness how exciting just over an hour to go
3. Don’t forget to put all your liquids in a clear plastic bag.
4. Genius and madness : )
5. Ahhhh derren im so excited!! Eeekkkkk cannot WAIT!!! Im your number one fan man 😀 xxxx
6. I think it’s safe to say that I am now thoroughly excited for this, about 50 minutes to go now
7. Ooooooooooooooooo IM SOOOOOOOOOOOO exciteedd! xxx
8. Good luck Derren, the guy involved and Objective Productions. I’m on the edge of my seat all day long. Seems very daunting and looks so far to me there may be more people involved than just one guy. Guess we gotta wait and see.
9. Yup, yup, yup, yup!!!!! :))))x
10. Can’t wait, having been “involved” in this 2 months ago……
11. Your a hero just for being in Bradford at night time
12. almost here now 🙂 can’t wait 🙂
13. Well that explains why we had to put our fears/phobias on the application form.
    Funny thing is that in the queue, I stood in front of him, and he was going on about his iphone.
14. Looks like a really great show as always. Love what you do Derren x
15. Just a quick thought. Matt arrived at his door, the only thing in his hand was a cigarette. He then turned around and went to write for a couple of hours with a pen and pad that he miraculously pulled from where?
16. Tis official I’ll never get out of my rut!! I’m thankful for Matt though. Now I need to find a way to avoid what’s in store for me. Wish me luck cos I’ll really need it.
17. Could I have the cabbie’s number please?

    Could do with a cabbie who will take me places, wait for me and then give me a lift home and be happy with just a handshake.
18. Watching now. Awesome. Derren, you are an inspiration. Thank you for opening the eyes of a nation.
19. Think logically, and you’ll realise in 10 seconds the multitude of reasons why this could never be real. You just have to take it for what it is, entertainment giving us the lovely message of “everyone can better themselves.” Aw, touching Derren.
20. I think I am in love with you. In a very “unable to ever speak to you” kinda way, I am in love with you. If I ever get the chance, please grant me a hug. It would be an experience. Bloody hell you are cute.
21. watching on tv and lovin’ it. Kind of wishing it was me, having this opportunity…
22. He is definitely a changed person.
23. you are an amazing illusionist i think you are fantastic i am such a fan a very talented and gifted person i am mesmerised by you and all that you do it would be an honour to meet you although you have met my brother which i envy him enjoying the show immensly x =)
24. As much as I would like to believe all this, it is like believing that 1 person created the universe. I can’t! No matter how scared I was, I would never volunteer for something I could not do.

    Sorry, while it makes good TV, I can’t believe this, as much as I would like to.
25. Fantastic, most amazing thing!
26. That. Was. Brilliant. Raising the bar as ever Derren, top work.
27. That was your best project so far Derren.
    It was fantastic and I was so pleased Matt overcame
    his fear to be a hero!
    Derren is a hero too because he always conducts
    himself with great integrity……….Excellent.
28. He got on the plane it was bright sunshine…he landed it in pitch dark even though it was a short flight. Surely he would have thought that was a little strange?
29. Brilliant – had me in tears at the end! Well done x
30. Amazing show Derren, fantastic work by all that were involved!!!! You are all hero’s!! Love Rachel xx
31. That was absolutely awesome Derren and hope to see more things like this again. This helped me gain a bit of confidence as my personality is just like his was. Love your work Derren, keep it up!
32. Astonishing!

    Remarkable bit of TV. I’m going to change things in my life from this moment on after watching this show.

    Funny how we just go about our daily lives doing the same routine. Saying we’ll do this and that and never bother.

    By thought, the things are bought to you. By action you receive them.

    Come on everybody! You can do it, just like I’m going to.

    Good luck!
33. wow wow wow probably the most emotional project yet Derren and it was great… FANTASTIC !!!!
34. Well done Darren your fantasic, great show and i even had tears in my eyes at the end.
35. Truly inspiring. Keep up the good work!
36. Derren, you never cease to amaze me! Such an amazing journey, was rooting for Matt the whole way. Now, anytime you fancy turning my life around – it’d be fully welcome.

39. He got on the plane it was bright sunshine…he landed it in pitch dark even though it was a short flight. Surely he would have thought that was a little strange?
40. i saw 3 films Donny Darko, One hour photo and The Game all rolled into this show … i liked it
41. omg derren brown i soo amazing did anyone see the bit ant the end 8 day of the 9 month 10 and he finished a 11:12 omg that freaked me out
42. Not 100% convinced that this wasn’t staged,

45. Totally taking my fictional project seriously now.

    Cheers.
46. I just loved it, Derren. Was such an inspirational programme to watch. I confess to having tears in my eyes at the end. I really felt what Matt had gone through and the courage it must have taken to do what he really thought he was doing when he landed that plane. It’s just remarkable what we CAN do as humans when we’re put in certain situations.

    You seemed thoroughly emotional at the end Derren, and I can see how much it meant to yourself as well as Matt that he came through. I was watching it with a big smile and a small tear.

    Congratulations on a marvellous piece of television that I shall think of and remember for a while to come.

47. Just saw the show and was truely amazed by it. I would really love to meet derren. Of all the people in the world no one intrigues me as much. His abilities amaze me and the qualitys he brings out in people. I’d be very intrieged what he would think of me as a person if he met me. The human brain is so complex and magnificent that it truely amazes me.
48. without a shadow of doubt, the most remarkable, most entertaining and most inspirational 75mins of my life.
    absoultely brilliant in every way, shape and form. mr derren brown, from the idea and concept through to the manner in which the actors and actresses portrayed themselves, it was perfection. it’s refreshing to see someone (derren brown) with such genial qualities using them to make people better in this world where we should be advancing. i hope all viewers of this show came away feeling uplifted and grateful that we have the precious gift of life in which we can all do something remarkable.

    thank you derren brown, i will be recommending that everyone i know watch this show and now i can say that if i ever had the chance to meet a celebrity, it would be you.
49. I cannot believe this was done……..its madness!! but very good madness! The thing is though, it was a real ‘fly on the wall’ type experiment was it, i mean, the guy was already having regular contact with Derren and thought he was going to be on a game show….and he had that whole straight jacket experience too….i think somewhere in his mind, he knew it wasnt real, he knew it was a test. You could see it. I’d like to think im quite a good person and would always help out in a situation if i could….but you wouldnt catch me flying a plane…..even if a stranger DID leave me a van full of party gear…..NO WAY…..not in this day and age!
50. Derren, absolutely amazing show, seriously, it was intruiging, entertaining, tuching and such a great watch. I’m already in anticipation for next month’s adventure and I’m sure it’ll be great. Only thing is I live in Ireland so my chances of getting on your show are nearly zero. I’m content watching for now 🙂
