What can viewers expect?

The series will follow comedian Zainab Johnson, and writers Sammy Obeid and Alie Ward as they put 100 adults of very different backgrounds through various experiments in order to figure out aspects of what it is to be human.

The trailer for series one explains: "Which sex is better? What is with you and feet? Is there a right way to use the toilet? We're going to find out the ugly truth today. 100 human beings place themselves at the mercy of us on a mission to answer questions we all have about human behaviour."

Participants will be put through a certain level of "torture" as they try out different challenges, including the ice bucket challenge which involves dumping a bucket of ice water over a person's head to promote awareness of the disease amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) - which is also known as motor neuron disease and in the US as Lou Gehrig's disease.
