Summary |
This is an extraordinary collection of experiments that did not go to air for one reason or another. Adam and Jamie engage in the most diverse and incredible experiments. They try to raise a sunken boat from the sea bed by filling it with thousands of ping-pong balls. Unfortunately, the experiment has to be aborted due to the untimely arrival of a few playful sea otters that happen to live in that particular bay. This test is followed by numerous others all quite diverse in nature - from the effectiveness of a water torture mechanism to the chance of survival of a man buried alive in a coffin; from literally finding a needle in a haystack to the testing of the notorious Alcatraz escape; and from the cleansing power of coke when it comes to filthy toilet bowls to the possibility of derailing a train by placing a penny coin on the railway track.
