1 | Presenter Tim Shaw and daredevil friend Buddy Munro travel the globe to recreate some of the most famous – and dangerous – viral videos to have ever appeared on the internet, hoping to uncover the scientific truth behind them in the process. In the first episode, Tim tries to remake a video of Wimbledon champion Novak Djokovic playing tennis on the wings of a flying aircraft, travelling to Germany to see if they can achieve the same on an Antonov An-2. Strapped to the wings, Buddy challenges a professional air-acrobat to a rally hundreds of metres above the German countryside. The pair also drop 7,000 mint sweets into 1,000 litres of cola, and Buddy tries an unusual fireman's lift in Whitehaven, Cumbria – being elevated on a platform by just the force of fire engine water hoses.[1] | 26 July 2015 | 2 | Buddy Munro goes flying off a ramp using an engine-powered glider, and also uses jet propulsion to ski uphill on a trip to the Czech Republic's Krkonose Mountains. Tim Shaw checks out videos of people trying to do the splits in mid-air and finds out what this does to the human body, and tries out various gadgets to build a working hover-board.[1] | 2 August 2015 | 3 | Tim Shaw and Buddy Munro experiment with water skiing behind a hydrofoil ferry, and trying to avoid the vessel's dangerously large wake. They meet the star of an internet video who filmed himself holding onto a high pressure hose. In Munich the duo explore the game of Racing the Tube – getting off an underground train and trying to beat it to the next station.[1] | 9 August 2015 | 4 | Tim Shaw and Buddy Munro go to the Caucasus Mountains in Georgia, and try riding down the slopes on a shovel. Tim also builds a football-firing air cannon to recreate an incident where a ball was fired from a coach, and rebounded back to be caught by one of its passengers. The duo watch a video of an unusual firework in a Thai religious festival, and build a giant rocket out of bamboo.[1] | 16 August 2015 | 5 | Tim Shaw builds a giant catapult to fire Buddy out of, and draws inspiration from clips of people propelling swivel chairs around the room with leaf blowers to create a low-friction version with two engines. The duo heads for Georgia to carry out a dangerous stunt testing the science of acceleration. Buddy is challenged to make the longest possible free fall from a tower block – but is reluctant to go through with it.[1] | 23 August 2015 | 6 | Tim builds a vacuum-powered climbing kit and challenges Buddy to scale the walls of an underground theatre. The duo examine clips of a skier riding down Britain's longest escalator and people rolling down hills in tractor tyres, and also find out about the effects of g on fighter pilots by attaching a moped to a children's roundabout.[1] | 3 November 2015 |
