Failure is always an option.
一个由澳大利亚电视制作人Peter Rees开创的Discovery Channel电视系列。他发掘了主创的Jamie和Adam二人组。这是一个记录片形式的电视系列剧,大概可以划到"揭密/科学试验/特技"一类。由主持人Jamie和Adam两人为观众揭露/戳穿当代街头巷尾流传的各种“神话”的秘密。每一集的内容包含3个“神话”,内容包括各种互联网上的谣传,一些在社会上广为流传的伪“常识”,历史事件等等,但更多的还是与好莱坞电影上常见的一些镜头有关。比如:在加油站打手机到底会不会引发爆炸;电影里面的人被一群匪徒追杀,跳到水里就不会被子弹打伤,这是否可信;传说中杀人不留痕迹的“冰子弹”到底是否可行;富兰克林的风筝实验是否真实;人的叫声能否击碎玻璃;(像电影上那样)开枪能否把门锁打烂……等等。每期节目的最后会对每个“神话”题目给出“Busted(被揭穿)”、“Plausible(半真半假)”、“Confirmed(被证实)”三种评价。
