From the ad I thought it was a rip off of mythbusters. So if not 'myth busting' what exactly are they doing?

I think they just muck around with science and conduct wacky experiments that anyone would enjoy doing themselves.
I watched it.
I liked the fat vs thin experiment. Good topic to raise.
It's interesting that nylon can cause an explosion in a petrol station (not a mobile phone) through static electricity then sparks.
They had a couple of dumb experiments like the guy exercising vs the guy looking a the women's breasts and when they used gravity to break a safe open.
Overall, it's funny.

A fat pot belly man vs a very skinny man._muse_ said:
To see who can stay afloat the longest (when a little boat is sinking) on the water without moving.
The fat dude was sinking himself but his belly stayed above water and that held him up.

what actually happens in a petrol station is a combination of both the mobile phone signal and a spark jump that causes a reaction with the volatile gas in the area, causing an explosion (this is why they ask you to turn off mobile phones in a petrol station). what i found weird was that they tested them seperately, not together. although they did blow up the caravan.

The experiments were stupid (in a non-interesting way) and didnt consider the many other possible factors.
The petrol station and mobile phone gig was done on Myth Busters (who tested that mobile phones generate the most energy when they first recieve a signal).
Farting: well different people different farts.
The safe: they never finished that one (besides dropping it on softer gravel-like ground).
The theory that women are attracted to a man's "unique" smell wasn't accurately portrayed as the PROPER experiment is testing how men have different scents/smell to one another (they simply use pheramones vs aftershave). Ovbiously you wouldnt like someone smelly over someone covered with a flowery fragrance.

The show was a cheap sh*t house british rip off any copy off mythbusters but it made no sense at all, the experiments were flawed and not really scientific. It was a bit like jackass were they did pointless stuff. I'll reckon that this show will get pulled of channel ten soon because it was so sh*t.

I quite liked it for what it was: mindless entertainment. It was either that or dancing with the stars

it was ok , but some of the "experiements" were stupid and pointless, it was better to watch than dancing with the stars...
Mythbusters is better.

it was crap, but it was funny. i was sick of the books so slacked off on the tv and this was on. the most stupidest one was the mobile phones in the caravan wanting to blow it up. HOW STUPID?! obviously it won't blow up.......geez! and that thing about investing the smelliest 'let out' was stupid too. 4 items is barely a fair test. what about cheese? and oily fatty stuff? and everything else...that was pointless.

as for the mobile part
it is only dangerous, when you are recieving a call i think, not when the phone is ringing. All they did was letting it ring..so wasn't much use was it!
