Master illusionist and showman Derren Brown plans to pull off the perfect crime. He's made a bet with renowned art collector Ivan Massow that he can steal a painting from right under his nose.
In true Derren style, he tells Ivan which painting he plans to target - a work by Turner-nominated brothers Jake and Dinos Chapman - as well as telling him when the theft will happen, and gives him a photograph of the person who is going to take it.
In order to pull off the theft, Derren recruits a crew. But he's not using career criminals or skilled cat burglars. He's using members of society that tend to slip by unnoticed: pensioners.
