Will we one day be able to live forever? If so, when? In 2011, MYTHBUSTERS' Adam Savage was 43. Now it is the year 2967 and he is 1000 years old. He looks back on his long life revealing how medical science in the 21st century transformed his body, creating a supercharged cyber-human, allowing him to love forever.

World's Dirtiest Man Hosted by Mike Rowe

We shower, we bathe, we apply perfumes and deodorants. We're cleaner and healthier than at any other point in human history. So it may surprise us to learn that there are 10 times more things living on us than cells in our body. From the flora of our gut to the fauna on our skin and hair, this film explores the wildlife park that is the human body in stunning, microscopic detail - combining the creativity of natural history filmmaking with the charisma of Discovery's very own Mike Rowe of DIRTY JOBS.

What Is Evil? Hosted by Eli Roth

Actor/director Eli Roth knows a thing or two about the nature of evil. This generation's master of horror, his Hostel films terrified us by dramatizing the fiendish acts of lunatics and madmen. Now, Eli plans to unveil the most horrifying monster of them all, capable of callous murder with only the slightest prodding: the Average American. Roth himself and a team of psychological experts will carry out a series of startling experiments based on Yale Professor Stanley Milgram's groundbreaking experiments half a century ago. Roth wants to learn about the capacity for evil that lurks within ordinary men and women and what he finds will astound you.

Will Robots Take Over? Hosted by Will.i.Am

Sunday, November 6th at 8pm e/p

Moore's Law (named after Intel co-founder Gordon Moore) states that the number of transistors on a chip will double every two years. By this calculation, somewhere around 2050, computers will be able to out-think, out-wit and out-perform human brains in almost every area of cognition. At the same time, medical advances will likely to able to blend man and machine into one superintelligent, bionic organism. This watershed moment is known as The Singularity. But what happens on the other side of this momentous event? And will it be a force for good - or ill? Join host Will.i.Am on a journey into the history of our future with a dramatized documentary exploring the direct aftermath of The Singularity.

How Do Drugs Work? Hosted by Robin Williams

Sunday, November 13th at 8pm e/p

Since time immemorial, human have ingested substances designed to give them superhuman energy, strange visions, otherworldly sensations. Sometimes, the reasons have been ritualistic, sometimes religious, sometimes simply recreational. What is their chemical makeup? How do they alter the body and the brain, and why are many of them so addictive - and often deadly? Robin Williams, who's experienced both the highs and the lows of substance abuse, takes us on a candid, shocking and sometimes sobering journey into the psychophysiology of psychotropic drugs.
