邊個講大話
欺騙屬於人類本性，按估計，我們每天平均說謊達九次之多。那麼，若建造一個不能說謊的世界，又會如何？在歐洲，一群世界頂尖科學家正正為此而聯手，進行一個激進的實驗。
靠著全新科技協助，三位參與實驗的英國人，一旦說謊便會被發現，他們接受挑戰，在一週之內完全不說謊。這個大膽的社會實驗，是要發掘「欺騙」在日常生活中所佔的位置－到底說謊對我們的精神狀態、以至我們各種人際關係，構成甚麼影響呢？而假如我們都再不能夠說謊，這世界會變得更好，還是變得更差？此節目將深入探討。

Deception is an integral part of human nature and it is estimated we all lie up to nine times a day. But what if we created a world in which we couldn't lie? In a radical experiment, pioneering scientists from across Europe have come together to make this happen.
Brand new technology is allowing them to rig three British people to make it impossible for them to lie undetected. Then they will be challenged to live for a whole week without telling a single lie. It is a bold social experiment to discover the role of deception in our lives - to investigate the impact lying has on our mental state and the consequences of it for our relationships, and to ask whether the world would be a better or worse place if we couldn't lie.
