Super Human Challenge

Episode 3: Andy Green - Extreme G-Force

First broadcast: on CBBC ChannelLatest broadcast: on CBBC HD

Tim Fitzhigham meets the humans who defy science and puts their powers to the test - against himself. Tim meets Andy Green, holder of the world land-speed record, a man who can endure powerful g-forces while driving cars faster than speeding bullets, and who can perform stomach-churning stunts in the air! But does Andy's extraordinary ability to withstand g-force make him a real-life Superman? Tim challenges Andy to three super tests in order to prove, or disprove, these supersonic, superhuman powers.

Can Tim survive a head-spinning centrifuge, a drive around Silverstone racetrack wearing a blindfold or stand a stomach-churning loop-the-loop in a stunt plane? This is exactly as dangerous as it sounds, so Tim uses state-of-the-art technology, real medical science and his very own mission doctor as he prepares for his challenges.

Is Andy Green a real-life Superman? Be prepared to be amazed by Super Human Challenge! Show less
