New 'Man vs Beast' special planned

US TV network FOX is bringing back its controversial Man vs Beast reality show for a new special.

Dubbed "the sickest TV show ever" by some animal rights groups, the programme pits humans against animals in a variety of strange contests and challenges.

The first edition drew some 9.3 million viewers when it aired last January, performing particularly well in the key 18-34 demographic.

Man vs Beast 2 will feature events such as a decathlete trying to out-jump a Labrador retriever and a team of swarves attempting to beat a camel in a footrace.

The special is scheduled for February 20.
