What would you do? A hidden-camera ABC series finds out

Using hidden cameras, find out what people REALLY do when they are put into strange situations — will they help a stranger or not?

In a limited Primetime limited series on ABC called What Would You Do?, Primetime’s John Qui will report on people’s split-second decisions. The hour-long series will premiere Tuesday, January 6 at 10 p.m. ET/PT.

What if you witness a strange slip a suspicous powder in his date’s drink — would you tell the person? From light-heart situations like missing out on a supermarket prize to potentialy life-threatening scenarios where people are faced with how to handle a baby left alone in a hot car (hope they used a fake baby for this!), the series will look at what people ACTUALLY do in the face of dilemmas that test character and values.

An upcoming episode will featuring the possible date-rape scenario. Will a person reaction be the same if the female is dressed provocatively?

What do the French REALLY do with obnoxious American tourists? What would you do if a cashier showed prejudice behavior from Latino men and women who attempt to place an order in broken English?

Each hour will include an interactive “What Would You Do” component where viewers can log on to ABCnews.com to share their views online on how they would react (however, how can you really know how a person would react?)
