Derren Brown: Miracles for Sale
To be honest, I was a little worried I'd find Derren's latest special to be a little dry and inconclusive, which has on occasion happened before (stand up Messiah and Seance). But while this does lack a certain element of showmanship or impressive trickery, it's an interesting, important and often surprisingly tense exploration of faith healers and their con, and how they just use techniques that can be duplicated by an (exceptionally dedicated) everyman.
