SAS: Who Dares Wins press pack
Category: News Release
SAS: Who Dares Wins starts on Monday 19th October at 9pm on Channel 4
Selection for the SAS is the world’s toughest job interview - and the truth about what it takes might surprise you. Physical fitness is no more than a basic requirement; what's really being tested is psychological resilience and character, through sleep deprivation, interrogation and a series of ever more complex mind games. Coming first in the race isn’t always the way to win – and Alpha Males are definitely not welcome.
The MoD has said it will never allow Selection to be filmed. But in SAS: Who Dares Wins, a group of ex-Special Forces soldiers recreate the selection process they themselves passed and put 30 civilian men through it. The criteria for entry are the same as the SAS’ own, every test is taken from real selection, and it’s shot using fixed-rig technology for minimal interference and maximum authenticity. At root, it’s a series about what men are made of when stripped back to their essential core: extreme analysis, SAS style.
