Todd Sampson’s new series Life on the Line begins on ABC next month, testing the laws of Physics first-hand.
Todd Sampson puts his faith in science to the ultimate test in a series of epic experiments, trusting his life to the Laws of Physics. With the help of some of Australia’s leading young physicists, along with a first-class construction and safety team, each episode follows Todd’s journey from the kernel of an idea through to a daring experiment that will show physics in action on an incredible scale. Filmed in Melbourne, Sydney, Bankstown, Cockatoo Island, Kangaroo Valley and New Zealand, Life on the Line is a visually poetic and stunning documentary series that reveals the invisible forces in the world around us.
8pm Tuesday March 21 on ABC.

So it’s just ABC’s version of Body Hack on Ten?
Or Body Hack is their version of ABC’s Redesign my Brain which he did in 2013.
I personally have not enjoyed watching Todd on Gruen. When it began I had no problem with him but over the years I have found him becoming smug and inflexible. He always takes the opposing view to Russel Howcroft ( I know he’s supposed to ) and is dismissive to the point of rudeness.
I agree with square eyes, they are pushing him
I am with David Knox on this one. Gruen is a ratings winner on the ABC and Todd plays a big part of the appeal. I enjoyed his series on CH10 and ABC. I am looking forward to his new show. I will be watching. I think his appeal is he his an intelligent man and my wife thinks he is quite good looking.
I pity the ABC. They’ve done everything to try and turn this person into a star. First they had him on a panel show as an advertising guru. Then they tried to turn him into an action man and fitness guru. Now they’re passing him off as a science geek. Please, isn’t it clear by now that we don’t want him?
Disagree. Gruen is just about ABC’s most popular show. His previous science series have rated well with ABC viewers. Been ok for TEN who are also doing more, where it is somewhat impacted by the size of TEN audience.
