Special Forces - Ultimate Hell Week

A series in which 29 men and women take on gruelling army tests in a search to find the country's toughest recruit. Here, they are challenged by former members of the Navy Seals.

29 started, now 22 remain. Episode two sees recruits under the command of former Israeli YAMAM operative Itay Gil.

The remaining recruits endure another punishing 48 hours, this time led by Lieutenant Dante Membrere, a serving officer in NAVSOG.

The recruits go behind enemy lines in a military role play under the orders of Jason Falla, a former member of the Australian SAS.

The remaining recruits enter a more psychologically challenging phase - the world of the Russian Spetznaz Special Forces.

The remaining recruits face the ultimate final test - 48 hours with the British SAS. Who has what it takes to win?

In the second series, 22 of Britain's toughest civilians face a fortnight of hell. Living in an isolated military camp deep in the heart of South Africa, every one of the 22 men and women will be pushed to their breaking point under the direction of six former veterans of some of the toughest special forces units in the world.Fresh off the plane, our 22 recruits land in South Africa with a bump - en route to base camp, they are ambushed by their first Special Forces expert, Clinton Agnew, a former colonel in the South African Special Forces Brigade, otherwise known as the 'Recces'.

With the first 48 hours of physical tests complete under the South African Special Forces, the 18 remaining and already exhausted recruits wake up to their next special forces expert, Rafal Nowakowski a former lieutenant of Polish GROM. For the next two days, Rafal tests the recruits' physical and psychological strength, as well as their ability to think clearly under pressure and during extreme physical exhaustion.

The sixteen remaining recruits face some of the toughest physical challenges yet, under the eyes of former Master Sergeant Terry Schappert of the Green Berets.

The recruits meet Ken, a lieutenant in the Republic of Korea's Underwater Demolition Team. His unconventional methods push everyone out of their comfort zone.

The remaining recruits face Tana and Toto, former members of the GIGN - the elite tactical unit of the French Police.

After ten days of blood, sweat and tears under the direction of five other former Special Forces experts, the remaining recruits have reached the final.
