Danger! 50,000 Volts!

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Danger! 50,000 Volts! is a 2002 British television programme written and presented by Nick Frost, which presented viewers with various life-threatening scenarios and suggested ways out of these situations. The show is a spoof of the outdoors survival genre in which SAS experts or the like show how to improvise solutions to dangerous problems. A feature of the series was the clever and humourous use of 'danger' iconography in the graphic design of segment titles, further identifying the show with the British tradition of stoic resolve in the face of (comically) overwhelming odds. In the DVD release of the programme, a 30 minute spin-off episode called Danger! 50,000 Zombies! is included as an extra. This episode saw Frost paired up with Simon Pegg as they dealt with the situation of a zombie outbreak and what one should 'do' in this situation.
