SAS Who Dares Wins concludes on Channel 4 tonight with its brand new series and its new group of contestants.
And this year, for the first time, SAS Who Dares Wins will add women to the mix.
In a landmark moment for the British Special Forces, the MOD has announced that in 2019 SAS selection will open to women for the very first time. Following suit, SAS Who Dares Wins 2019 will see a group of 25 men and women high into the spectacular and punishing Andes Mountains in Central Chile.
Over six episodes, they’ll face the longest and toughest course that the DS have ever designed, spanning over eleven gruelling days, in a hostile and unforgiving winter warfare environment.
The recruits will eat, sleep and wash together – no allowances will be made for gender – as their mental and physical strength is tested to the limits.
Back again to put them through this punishing course will be Chief Instructor Ant Middleton and his Directing Staff (DS) Foxy, Ollie and Billy. They’ve never worked with women on this course and have no idea how many will make the grade… but they want to find out.
As the recruits progress through the course, they’ll be forced to confront surprising truths about themselves to discover their real characters. Will they have what it takes to make it through this unique version of SAS selection?
SAS Who Dares Wins 2019 airs Sundays at 9pm on Channel 4. You can watch episodes and catch up online via Channel 4’s All4 service.
