SAS: Who Dares Wins is a reality quasi-military training television programme broadcast by Channel 4 in the United Kingdom since 19 October 2015. It features civilians, and later celebrities, attempting to complete a modified version of SAS training. [1]

Contents

Format

The show pits contestants against harsh environments all around the world, in a shortened training course designed to simulate a condensed version of the actual United Kingdom Special Forces selection course. [2] The show's Directing Staff take the recruits through hostile and unforgiving warfare environments, while testing their mental and physical ability through a series of realistic training exercises. Each series ends with a simulated experience of being captured and interrogated, which is overseen by an anonymous former senior chief intelligence officer referred to as "the Umpire". [3]

Unlike many reality competition series, there are no formal elimination points. Instead, each contestants is given a numbered armband, which they can hand in to the DS in order to 'voluntarily withdraw' (VW) themselves if they feel they cannot continue. They can also be culled by the DS or be medically withdrawn. [2]

History

The fourth series, which aired in early 2019, allowed female recruits to take part for the first time, in line with the Ministry of Defence's announcement that women would now be able to serve in all areas of the UK military, including the Special Forces. [4]

A celebrity version aired for the first time in 2019 in aid of Stand Up to Cancer. Chief instructor Ant Middleton said of the concept, ‘Celebrities go through their lives showing the public a front and face they want them to see but this process stripped all that away.’ [5]

After the eighth series of the civilian version concluded in 2023, the civilian version was shelved indefinitely in order to prioritise the celebrity version, which Channel 4 deemed a 'huge success'. [6]

Cast

The original Chief Instructor was Ant Middleton, an ex-United Kingdom Special Forces operator who served in the Special Boat Service. [7] The other Directing Staff consisted of Jason 'Foxy' Fox, a former SBS operator; [8] Mark 'Billy' Billingham, an ex-SAS Sergeant Major; [9] and Matthew 'Ollie' Ollerton. [10]

In 2021, Middleton was dismissed from the show over his 'personal conduct'. It was speculated that this was linked to Middleton's controversial tweets about the Black Lives Matter movement. Middleton subsequently claimed 'the woke patrol have kicked in to the point where we can't say anything, we can't be ourselves'. [11] [12]

In October 2021, former United States Recon Marine Rudy Reyes was announced as the series's new Chief Instructor. [13] In 2023, the Directing Staff were joined by Chris Oliver, a former Royal Marine Mountain Leader and ex-Special Boat Service operator. [14]

Other DS have included Melvyn Downes in 2021, who served in the SAS for 12 years and was the first DS member of colour, [15] and Veteran Navy SEAL Senior Chief Remi Adeleke in 2022. [16] [17]
