Social media star Paul Black hands his influencing powers to his followers, taking on a series of wild challenges that ultimately lead to an arm-wrestling showdown with Michelle McManus.

Comedian, actor and writer Paul Black is also one of Scotland's biggest stars, thanks to his 350,000+ ardent followers. For this programme, Paul has taken the brave decision to hand his influencing powers over to all of them. They have enthusiastically answered his online post, suggesting an array of wild, wonderful and dangerous challenges that they want to see him undertake – all with the aim of generating some hilarious content.

From Perthshire bungee jumping to a hot chilli challenge with celebrity chef Jimmy Lee, Paul throws himself into every challenge with typical self-effacing gusto! Along the way, he provides an insight into his online world, how he navigates the immediacy of people’s reactions, the chasing of likes and the pressure to constantly be creating content. All this before an ultimate final showdown to arm-wrestle Michelle McManus. Will Paul rise to the challenges?
