The others were all actors - so of course he was the only one to volunteer! He went from being a totally passive person at the beginning (with the smoke) to volunteering to land a plane! However, I found it a bit odd that he didn't question why there wasn't a copilot, and why a random passenger would be better than a steward, or even a kid who plays a lot of flight sims! I guess he was still under the influence of Derren in some way.Really surprised at the comments here. I really like Derren Brown - he's a great showman and I don't believe any of his stuff is "faked". He's very clear about using "suggestion" and being able to read people for all of his tricks.
I can thoroughly recommend his live shows.

I was looking forward to this, but had to stop watching when he met Derren in his back garden in the middle of the night. If you found some strange bloke in your garden, waiting for you in the dark, you'd want to be holding a cricket bat at least. In a trance my ass! 
Exactly what made me turn off. I do enjoy his stage shows though. Much more impressive.

Thunderfanny! Greatest insult I've seen all day, genuine laugh out loud moment 
I missed the beginning - why was that chap picked for this in the first place?
Was he just some complete loser who Derren wanted to turn into a "hero"?
It was complete bull.
Anyone with half a brain-cell would have asked "can't the First Officer land it?"
And when touching down why did he not shout the ATC guy "how do I slow this thing down!" The ATC guy was like "well done, you landed the plane."
Pity it would have careered of the runway.

any landing at Leeds Bradford airport is unpleasant...
Would they have spent all that money on flights / actors, a month of tv film crew etc it was all a sham?
yes he was a dullard but he did change...if he was acting he'd get an oscar
Yes, he was acting, and I have to disagree with you - most of the time his acting was pretty cr@p too! Would they have spent all that money on flights / actors, a month of tv film crew etc it was all a sham?

I can't believe anyone would actually get taken in by this type of show!! Pure sham from start to finish.
