A TV show which has appeared on the sets of the UK for a very short period where psychological tests are conducted unawares on the public, with hilarious and/or disastrous results. Example: In one particular experiment, Dr. David Barrow will test the idea of the ability for living beings to transcend this realm and talk to the dead. For this experiment they took someone who thinks he can talk to the dead (aka. a psychic), and pitted him against someone who thinks he IS the dead (aka. a goth). Dr Simon Golf will place a toaster behind one of the three headstones ina graveyard and then ask each candidate to talk to their dead friends to get them to tell where the toaster is. As with all scientific experiments, this will be the best of 3.
