The gamblers and "good time Charlies" converge on the South Pacific Hotel, one of Sydney's finest.

Supposedly an urban myth built around the idea that any two people on the planet can be connected in a few steps of association. This program puts this premise to the test through an ambitious international experiment that unfolds the science behind the popular trivia game Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon. |
