Celebrities undertake a series of extreme tasks, including jumping backwards out of a helicopter and hand to hand combat, as they begin the challenge of completing the gruelling SAS selection course.
Fear
Recruits are pushed to tackle their fears head on in a 60m high forward abseil, while a brutal game of murderball on a black mud plain leaves one recruit with a near concussion.
Mindset
In an abandoned abattoir, recruits face a life or death decision before they are drilled physically into the early hours of the morning. Will they bow out from exhaustion or find the true grit needed?
Teamwork
In freezing waters with plummeting body temperatures, recruits wait to be rescued by their teammates before they face a test of pure grunt and teamwork. An emotional departure surprises the group.
Resilience
In a punishing day, recruits crawl across a jagged ravine on a single rope above the ocean, are submerged in crashing, cold surf and face a physical drilling that leaves them on the brink of collapse.
Focus
The fatigued recruits drop from a helicopter into 4°C water carrying 20kg backpacks, before making their way to shore as a group then racing to the top of a mountain. Dripping wet and being lashed with 60km/h winds leaves one recruit in a hypothermic state.
Pressure
Armed with rifles, recruits are tasked with a hostage rescue mission, before taking on their most dangerous task yet in near freezing water.
Strength
Recruits are brutally awoken by the sound of gunfire and a botched rescue attempt unfolds. Messages from home test the recruits' emotional resolve while a relentless pack march takes its toll.
Trust
In a dangerous backward fall, the life of the jumper is in the hands of a fellow recruit. During an honesty test, some gobsmacking truths are shared. And a simple mistake results in a serious injury.
Determination
Recruits race up a snow-covered mountain dragging a 60kg sled. Exhausted, they must then swim under ice, battling hypothermic conditions, only to discover the weakest will be sent home.
Survival
In a daunting challenge, recruits are tasked with rescuing a downed pilot. As bombs explode and guns fire, they must make the right decision amidst the mayhem. After a brutal combat course, an explosion on base has an unexpected outcome.
Courage
Recruits are chased overland in near freezing temperatures. Once captured, they face intense interrogation before they attempt the final phase of the course, a series of brutal physical tasks called The Sickener, designed to push them over the edge. Who will prove worthy of passing SAS selection?
