Dan, Ollie, Nicky, Mike and Kirby are the Human Guinea Pigs – five best mates who take pleasure in performing outrageous stunts. In tonight’s season finale, the boys discover how hard it is to be women – and pregnant ones, at that. Kitted out with pregnant bellies, they attempt to endure hair removal, high heels and sleep deprivation.

Today the foolish fivesome find out what it takes for ladies to maintain their svelte appearances in an experiment entitled ‘To Wax or To Zap’. They are introduced to beauty therapist Doreen, who submits the intrepid idiots to a variety of hairremoval techniques.

Dan, Ollie, Nicky, Mike and Kirby are the Human Guinea Pigs – five best mates who take pleasure in performing outrageous stunts. Tonight, Dan demonstrates how a rocket is launched; there is a trip to an ice bar to learn about the effects of intense cold; and the pigs try to set a record for eating tripe.

Having grown up together and developed a shared fascination with hurting themselves, the Human Guinea Pigs are now putting their stupidity to good use to solve a range of scientific conundrums. They are assisted by Professor Stuart Milligan, who pushes them to their limits in the pursuit of knowledge. As the guinea pigs undergo various tests, the professor uses animation to explain what is happening to their bodies.

Dan, Ollie, Nicky, Mike and Kirby are the Human Guinea Pigs – five best mates who take pleasure in performing outrageous stunts. In today’s programme, Kirby tries to beat the world record for doing car spins whilst eating doughnuts; the boys have their blood sucked by leeches, and Dan’s ‘spare tyre’ undergoes a test to find out just how much fat it contains.

Having grown up together with a shared fascination with hurting themselves, the Human Guinea Pigs are now putting their stupidity to good use to solve a range of scientific conundrums. Along the way the boys are assisted by Professor Stuart Milligan, who pushes them to their limits in the pursuit of knowledge.

Now they are putting their stupidity to good use to solve a range of scientific conundrums with the help of Professor Stuart Milligan, who pushes the boys to their limits in the pursuit of knowledge. As the guinea pigs are submitted to various tests, the professor explains what is happening to their bodies using animated images. Today’s programme examines the effects of a car crash on the human body. Ever wondered what it is like to be in a car crash? The main experiment in this edition, entitled ‘Car Karashy’, investigates the different forces to which a body is subjected in a collision. Health and safety regulations mean that the pigs are not allowed to be in a real crash, so Professor Milligan helpfully recreates the same forces in other ways – lucky pigs!

Dan, Ollie, Nicky, Mike and Kirby are the Human Guinea Pigs –five best mates who take pleasure in performing outrageous stunts. Today’s programme sees the boys head to the limits of lunacy as they are shot with rubber bullets and attacked by angry dogs.

Along the way the boys are assisted by Professor Stuart Milligan, who pushes them to their limits in the pursuit of knowledge.

In tonight’s edition, the boys head across the Atlantic to take their unique brand of idiocy to the USA. Taking advantage of America’s lax gun laws, they decide to test the effects and the efficacy of rubber bullets. Though these projectiles are designed to incapacitate rather than kill, they can still pack a real punch, so viewers are reminded not to try this at home!

The boys will be demonstrating how the safety equipment in a car works, which can all be explained through physics. The pigs are taken to a karate dojo, where they meet Loughborough University lecturers Andy and Dr Pain –who both happen to have black belts in karate! The pigs are then kitted out, one at a time, with speciallydesigned suits that use the same principles as a car’s crash-absorbing technology. Made out of a super-dense foam, the suits absorb the energy from any crashes the pigs suffer, making sure their internal organs are kept intact.

For the first time on British Television a group of men will be shot with a taser gun to demonstrate the impact of 50,000 volts going through the human body in Five’s new entertainment show Human Guinea Pigs.

Human Guinea Pigs sees five friends experimented on by a professor in the name of science. Dan, Ollie, Nicky, Mike and Kirby were discovered on the internet by Five performing outrageous stunts and in the new series will solve some of life’s greatest mysteries.

Stuart Milligan, professor at Kings College, London will use the human guinea pigs to test scientific theories explaining what’s happening to their bodies using animated images.

In the first episode, the human guinea pigs fly to Seattle to meet police officers who test weapons designed to incapacitate criminals. Here the guinea pigs experience the power of the taser gun.

The taser gun sends a series of electrical shocks through a person’s body, overriding the body’s communication network. As soon as the taser hits, the nervous system is confused and the muscles contract up to 90 times per second. Will our guinea pigs live up to the challenge?

New to Five this week is an entertaining series that answers all those imponderable questions you have sometimes wondered, like... what happens when you put 50,000 volts through the human body from a taser? Do different sized objects dropped from the same height really travel at the same speed? And what if those objects are a fat human and a thin human?

Dan, Ollie, Nicky, Mike and Kirby are five best mates who grew up together and were discovered by Five on the internet doing outrageous stunts and hurting themselves. Now they are putting that stupidity to good use to help solve burning pub fact conundrums. These guys are the Human Guinea Pigs, and Professor Stuart Milligan –who teaches at King’s College, London and is the cleverest one of the bunch by far –is going to push the boys to the absolute limits of stupidity in the pursuit of science.

Each show consists of a number of experiments set by the professor. As the boys are submitted to the tests, the Prof explains what is happening to their bodies using animated images.

This entertaining new series sees the principles of chemistry, biology and physics put to the test across of a range of experiments conducted on a group of five young men with a passion for hurting themselves –and each other: the guinea pigs.

The show’s eccentric professor, Stephen Milligan, will guide viewers through the facts and figures as the guinea pigs take part in their own practical experiments. Among the burning issues addressed in the series are how the body deals with sub-zero temperatures; what happens when a number of mosquitoes launch an attack on naked skin; how gravity can hurt a 200-pound man and whether boys are tougher than girls.

The boys all live together in a student house and will carry out their research in the real world, using such sites as car parks, city centres and back gardens.
