1	Superhuman Force	Comedian Simon Farnaby travels the world meeting people who claim to have extraordinary abilities. His journey begins in rural Croatia with nine-year-old internet sensation Ivan, who is believed by many to have magnetic powers. Then, in Georgia, he watches as Etibar Elchiyev, known as the 'Magnetic Man', sticks 44 spoons to his body. Moving on to a village near Belgrade, he encounters a man who says he can store electricity in his body. Plus, in Budapest, can Laszlo Harasztosi pass on his powers to Simon?^[3]	12 May 2014
2	Superhuman Strength	Simon Farnaby travels the world encountering people who claim to have special powers, witnessing death-defying stunts and feats of extreme human endurance. His journey begins in Indonesia, where he watches the Banten tribespeople cut and burn themselves seemingly without injury or pain as part of a sacred ritual. In China, he meets the performer Guang, who can pull a car along a street with just a rope attached to his eye sockets. In Los Angeles, sideshow legend Zamora the Torture King pierces his body with metal skewers, while Shaolin master Hu Giong takes a drill to his skull — and even teaches Simon some of his super-strength tricks.^[3]	19 May 2014
3	Superhuman Minds	Simon Farnaby travels the globe encountering people who claim to perform miraculous feats using only the power of their minds. The comedian meets Indonesia's leading shaman, Ngurah Harta, who appears to cut him with a razor without injury. In Romania, he wants to find out whether renowned healer Zinaida can make him levitate, and in Amsterdam, he submits to the stare of divine gazer Braco. There's also a visit to Croatia to see Goran the human fish, and finally Los Angeles, where Master Zhou says his healing energy is so strong it creates steam.^[3]	26 May 2014
4	The Supernatural	Having travelled the world to meet people who claim to possess extraordinary powers, comedian Simon Farnaby returns to the UK to lift the lid on the world of psychics, mediums and the paranormal. He encounters a man who thinks he can see the future in his dreams, finds out how a surgeon apparently operates without cutting his patients' skin, and is taken on his first ghost hunt.^[3]	2 June 2014
