The C4 press release (here) mentioned the 8oo10c involvement – but had no further details.

The video below (pretty poor quality, but the only clip that I could find) features Alan Carr talking to Jimmy Carr, Martin Freeman, Jeremy Piven, Dawn Porter and Derren Brown.
At 5 minutes Alan tries to draw what he thinks is in Jimmy’s mind and then 6.28 to 17.16 is a clip of Derren Brown performing a paintball Russian Roulette trick with Dawn Porter and husband Chris O’Dowd. This was from his stage show, Svengali, here.
