The subject is taught to play the piano and gives a professional standard recital within weeks. Later it transpires that the subject was a pianist, but Brown persuaded her to forget this, so that she could rediscover her lost joy of playing.
Taxi Ride
The subject is firstly kidnapped in a London taxi cab and then becomes a street madman.
Car Crash
The subject is put into a trance and wakes up at the scene of a staged road traffic accident in which she sees herself dead in her car.

Quiz
The subject is taught a technique of speed learning, and spends a week scanning hundreds of books in preparation for a Night of the Champions pub quiz, in which he enters as the only solo participant and comes second only to two teams who tied for first place.
Kitten
The subject is shown a kitten in a metal cage and told that it will be electrocuted if she presses a button. The subject would win 500 pounds if she stays in the room for five minutes without killing the kitten. Derren's negative suggestion forces her to press the button at the last second. However, she finds the cat is still alive and thus wins the 500 pounds. The treat was that the subject would think back to the moment if she was ever being negative in future, and would then become a more positive person.
Time
The subject, guest star David Tennant, appears to have the ability to time travel. He is taken back to the early 1930s and gives out facts, which appear in a newspaper from that date. He then predicts what a member of the public will draw on a card, twenty minutes beforehand. Finally, he performs automatic writing, predicting two news items which would appear three days later in The Guardian newspaper. It was mentioned in the episode that Tennant had applied to the programme in the same way any ordinary member of the public would.
Escape
The subject is taught ancient techniques on how to get free from complicated, risky situations. Subsequently, the subject - with hands and feet tied - is inserted into a sack and thrown into a lake. The subject gets free. During the course of the show, Derren claims that the subject will be completely alone under the water, bar a stationary camera. However, two divers emerge from the lake (and give each other a thumbs-up sign) in the final seconds of the program (as the credits are running.) Whether this is supposed to indicate that they actually released the subject, or merely that there was added security is left unresolved.
Confidence
The subject is tested in speed dating consquences. Derren then attempts to build The Subject's confidence. Then, the subject, returns to speed dating, securing at least on interested party. Brown then, finally, tests the subject in a robbery.
Superstition
All previous contestants from the series returned, and were placed in a room with a counter and several objects, saying that they had to score 100 points within half an hour. However, the points were awarded randomly and not by any actions performed in the room. If they had realised that, they might have noticed there was a further element, and found the sign above them on the ceiling telling them that the doors were unlocked and 150,000 pounds waiting for them if they went to get it. They didn't.
In another part of the episode, a superstitious woman was tested on her beliefs by being made to walk on pavement cracks and under ladders, smash a mirror, etc. (causing her to comment on whether she would be killed on the way home), to see if it affected her luck in a following experiment, which it didn't. A gag notice came up at the end of the show saying that the episode was dedicated to her memory, having been killed on the way home.
