Broadcast

RDF Television and IWC Media for Five, 19 October to 23 November 2005 (6 episodes in 1 series)

Synopsis

Contestants are pushed to their limits in gruelling physical missions pushed by three "proper" commandos, it says here. It sounds a little bit like the US show Boot Camp from its press release, but with one super secret twist you never would have considered - celebrities!

Participants

  • Nigel Benn (boxer and ex-soldier)
  • Steve Collins (boxer)
  • Lee Latchford Evans (ex-Steps singer)
  • Ryan Dunn (from Jackass, apparently)
  • Heather Peace (ex-Ultimate Force actor)
  • Jason Cowan (ex-Big Brother housemate. And the navy as well, if we recall correctly).

Trivia

Filmed around Loch Rannoch, Scotland.
