I had all of the questions you can think of (and more) about how they coiuld pull this off.

Fortunately, the first episode was all about answering these questions.

I'm just going from memory, so I might not have the details exactly.

12 months ago an advert was placed in a newspaper looking for people who wanted to do something extraordinary.

Out of hundreds of applicants they removed anyone who:

Had an above average IQ.

Could name 4 characters from Star Trek.

...and some other stuff which I didn't see because Manchester United were losing on the other side.

THey did some aptitude tests to find people who could be easily lead and would be easily influenced by 'group thinking'

Then some abseiling followed by jumping off a bridge.



I'd say it was a good show... but not as entertaining as watching Manchester United lose.
