Steve is awesome. Really impressed by how much he changed. Got emotional when he got to the helicopter and said that he was going back for her instead of abandoning her. Also Ian deserves an Oscar for his acting, brilliant
Bloody brilliant Derren Brown...I was move to tears many times during the movie. Thank you for even making it free for anyone to watch. There's so much I've learned watching this.
I love watching this at least once a year. I cry every time Steven wakes up and hugs his mum, and have a heartfelt emotional experience with his family. Thank you for making this happen, Derren!
@David T This guy is clearly an actor... ok, tell me what else he's been in, or was he paid so much that he never wanted to act ever again after this? Most actors love acting so that seems unlikely.
@David T So you don't know then. So you have no proof this is fake then? So you're just making assumptions then? Ok... well done you. It's always good to make decisions based on no facts or corroborating evidence. That's why we have such great leaders in the UK and the USA, because of critical thinking like yours!
@@georgecroney6168 You know what the "weirdest" thing I've found, was on a computer of a photographer for teen vogue. His hard drive was crapping out, so he wanted us to copy everything on to a new hard drive. Ok, sure, fine. Surprise surprise, folders and folders of porn. Every folder was named something inconspicuous, like "vacation photos", "taxes", etc... But for some reason, among all of those folders, was a folder labeled, "PORN". Yep, just straight up PORN. And it had all of the same similar oorn as the other folders. But this one was technically the only folder, correctly named. I know this story isn't something crazy like invest porn. And I know there's ways of explaining it. But it just threw me off is all. We had a great date recovery program, for failing hard drives. And this guy had a lot of photos from work that were worth a lot of money (among the porn). So I was in the middle of successfully recovering said data. When suddenly, the power in the entire store cut out ( due to my cheap ass boss at the time, using the same circuit breaker that was used for the repair pcs, that was ALSO used for the air compressor). After that I couldn't recover the data and he had to spend like 3 grand with OnTrack data recovery.
Re-watching this it's actually even better than remember it, loved the moment especially where he just instantly decides to start looking after Leona without question.
@@rhino_twozero326 oh wow. Look at this guy. Such a skeptic. You feel right intelligent, huh. Lmao you really get to see which people lack colors in their lives based on how much they police others' enjoyment.
So chuffed to have found this. I'd heard Steven talking about this experience some months back on radio 4. It's incredible how much this has changed the course of his life. What a rollercoaster of a watch, tears, laughter, pity, hope. There's something we can all take away from this, regardless of what the critics say about whether it was ethical or not. Derren Brown truly is awesome!
It's like a non-violent version of SAW involving an actual cathartic payoff....so, way more compelling IMO. My hat is off to Darren for all the behind the scenes efforts, this would have taken sooooo much work and timing from so many people. Darren, you're a hero.
That's a really interesting comparison. Indeed, if SAW was real, it would be a complete failure. The psychopath dude in SAW claims to abduct and torture his victims because he wants them to learn cherish their life, freedom and good health. However, in reality, all he would achieve would be to complete traumatize his victims and to make them very bitter, angry and distrustful people who desperately seek vengeance and can't form stable connections with other humans for the rest of their lives. Derren Brown actually had a very positive impact on his "victim's" life and so he's clearly way cooler and smarter than the SAW guy.
If this is real, Derren Brown has a genius idea in using his skills to create a world around people to make them better versions of themselves, and film it. This is what Reality TV should be
man I really feel for this kid. Derren really can create a scene that looks very realistic. I work in a hospital so I think id be able to reason a bit better in that scenario but outside of my comfort zone id be screwed.
I guess you missed the part where the dumbest and most suggestible skull full of mush was selected for a mind control experiment, using a fake crisis to program his behavior.

Derren, you're a bloody good bloke, and I say that with tears in my eyes. Thank you so much for helping out another human being. I know that these things just don't happen without a gigantic budget but your helping out a fellow human is very moving indeed. Thanks mate, love and all the best from Australia.
Just an observation. Action héroes are often portrayed in a very particular way in films and TV. In war films in particular they are invariably tough and outgoing. The reality however is very different. The last two World Wars were won by the ordinary men and women, like Stephen, who displayed courage despite their fear. It is the ordinary hero in ourselves and in others that we should celebrate and recognise as the potential of everyone. I do not think I have seen a better demonstration of this than in Apocalypse. I was moved to tears on more than one occasion as I watched him face what were for him, life changing challenges. It would be interesting to see how his life hs progressed since this was first screened.I am sure he has made a great success of things.
6:00 the awkward moment when urs is at least twice as bad 😳 edit: he is now married and retook his gcses and works with disabled children 😭 that’s honestly really lovely...
This was insanely amazing. And what a wizard Darren is, like how on earth he does that immediate putting people on trance thing, so so talented and magical. And I’m so proud of Steve, he grew up beautifully. ✨
Props to the actors, their performances are just so... Human, I guess. It's difficult to figure out how to describe it but it's just so real and present, it's genuinely hard to remember this isn't real, especially when you wouldn't be able to tell who wasn't the actor without extra information.
This for me was Derrens best work, kinda like the Truman show meets 28 days later. Magnificent production and my go to for entertainment. Particularly loved the end bit he meets steven 28 days later ( nice reference to movie of same name) amazing the love that Steven exhuded for his family upon waking up.❤❤
I find it so amazing that Derren can just put people to sleep over the phone! Imagine if Steve's phone rang again in the future and he was just sat there like "No. I'm not picking it up. What if it's him?!"!
Superb! It was a lot to go through for him to 'change,' but it worked! The pivotal point for me was when he told 'Leona' to go with him and was, I think, the moment he 'woke up.' I reckon he'd been 'asleep' for a very long time... Thank you for uploading 👍💖👏
I've watched this at least 10 times, both on TV and now RUclips. This is, by far, in my opinion, one of the best bits of UK TV that has been gifted to us.
Honestly I'd be for a zombie apocalypse if I didn't have medical conditions that required society to stay afloat Better than the boring life we all have now
This is so much better than 95% of the Hollywood horror movies out there. The acting is amazing especially Ian and some of infected people. I enjoyed it a lot. 👍
Man this is reminding me of the last of us, I am legend, and the trueman show. This is spectacularly carried out, the art/camera/design crews have done an amazing job. And Derren what can I say, this was such a brilliant idea.
who else lost all their brain cells when looking in the live chat history and seeing @butterygold 's comments? he was waffling the whole 1 hour and my brain hurts more from seeing his verbal diarrhoea than the actual video! props to derren for all of his planning, and if you see this derren, just know you don't always have to one up your previous acts because the level you are at is already amazing!
I am certain 2020/2021 is all because of Derren Brown. I hoping this New Year, at the start of 2022, Darren is going to appear on a big TV screen and tell us how he has fooled us all for the last 2 years
Anyone else get an NPC kind of vibe from how Leona was talking to Steven? Props to her btw! AMAZING job! Steven taking her hand to lead her to safety while he ventured out to find his brother reminded me of something that could have happened in The Last of Us, and what should have happened in The Last of Us Part II...
Are we seriously gonna believe that in the bus scene Darren really put Steven to sleep with "hypnosis"? From that scene onwards I knew this was complete bullshit.
Honestly idk when it started, most liekely around the time that Ian left with his 'wife' that i was uncontrollably spewing snot and tears out of my face forthe rest of the episode .... dont think ive experienced that very lately

Man this is reminding me of the last of us, I am legend, and the trueman show. This is spectacularly carried out, the art/camera/design crews have done an amazing job. And Derren what can I say, this was such a brilliant idea.
i remember watching this when it came out. i think about it quite often.
23:13 There’s explosions everywhere and man’s just sitting there like 🗿
When he said “any virus issues” my anxiety went 📈
the real lesson to be taken from this is that people will believe anything they are told if it is told in the right way
who else lost all their brain cells when looking in the live chat history and seeing @butterygold 's comments? he was waffling the whole 1 hour and my brain hurts more from seeing his verbal diarrhoea than the actual video! props to derren for all of his planning, and if you see this derren, just know you don't always have to one up your previous acts because the level you are at is already amazing!
I am certain 2020/2021 is all because of Derren Brown. I hoping this New Year, at the start of 2022, Darren is going to appear on a big TV screen and tell us how he has fooled us all for the last 2 years
lmaooo
I wish...
This is basically a real-life Telltale game. Amazing
Was just playing the walking dead and thought of this lmao
@@W..949 thought of this too, Steven being Lee, and Leona being Clementine
Derren it's been way too long can we wake up now
Anyone else get an NPC kind of vibe from how Leona was talking to Steven? Props to her btw! AMAZING job!
Steven taking her hand to lead her to safety while he ventured out to find his brother reminded me of something that could have happened in The Last of Us, and what should have happened in The Last of Us Part II...
Are we seriously gonna believe that in the bus scene Darren really put Steven to sleep with "hypnosis"? From that scene onwards I knew this was complete bullshit.
Too soon dude, too soon
Well, too late would be never.
Nah, perfect timing. A message needs to be attached to this real-life event. Not everyone has woken up yet.
This was filmed some years ago and has simply been re-uploaded.
Rupert Evans woosh
You're a Saint among men, despite your honored Atheism, Good Sir Derren Brown. May the wind be always at your back.
Honestly idk when it started, most liekely around the time that Ian left with his 'wife' that i was uncontrollably spewing snot and tears out of my face forthe rest of the episode .... dont think ive experienced that very lately
That was better than most of what has come out of Hollywood in 2024!
Trash Taste Fam, where you at?! 👋👀
Stephen is amazing. This entire show was.. I haven’t the words. Remarkable
Derren Brown is a super villain. thank God he didn't decide to go into politics or something. dude would be running shit
Amazing.....i cant stop crying. Well done steven.xx
Damn you, Mr. Drown! Lol You make me cry at the end of everyone these videos. You really do know how to make people try and be the best they can be.
putting the guy in the zombie video game was the best.
'28 days later' I see what you did there, Derren :P
This is the only thing I have ever appreciated being introduced to by the One Show
