Special Forces: Ultimate Hell Week

Series 1 Episode 5

Sportsman Andrew `Freddie' Flintoff presents a show that aims to test the endurance of the UK's fittest men and women. Twenty-nine recruits take part in a series of physical and psychological challenges designed to push people to their limits, to find the strongest individuals for jobs in the special forces. The programme takes inspiration from the selection process of six of the world's toughest institutions, including the US Navy Seals, the Philippine's Naval Special Operations Group, the Russian Spetsnaz, the Israeli Yamam and the British SAS. Over the course of 12 days, the participants are put through their paces as they face anything from punishing surf torture to hooded interrogation.
