This episode of Superhuman looks at the challenges that face those who tower above us. Using state of the art graphics, viewers are given a fascinating insight into the extreme lives of human giants. What is the science behind being so tall and what goes on inside the body of a giant? When you're more than seven foot tall almost everything you do is affected by your extraordinary size. Not only do you have superhuman height, but your hands and feet are huge too. The world seems as if it has shrunk to miniature proportions around you and everyday life is a trial - from buying clothes to using gadgets and furniture, from taking public transport to finding love. The programme introduces height record holders from around the world to look at their incredible lives.
