BBC Two - Special Forces - Ultimate Hell Week, Series 2, Recces - South Africa

On arriving in South Africa, the recruits are ambushed by a local special forces expert.

22 of Britain's toughest civilians face a fortnight of hell. The recruits are ambushed by a former colonel in the South African Special Forces Brigade.

In the second series, 22 of Britain's toughest civilians face a fortnight of hell. Living in an isolated military camp deep in the heart of South Africa, every one of the 22 men and women will be pushed to their breaking point under the direction of six former veterans of some of the toughest special forces units in the world.

Fresh off the plane, our 22 recruits land in South Africa with a bump - en route to base camp, they are ambushed by their first special forces expert, Clinton Agnew, a former colonel in the South African Special Forces Brigade, otherwise known as the 'Recces'.

The African bush is the Recces' back yard and Clinton is about to take the recruits through 48 hours of misery with some authentic selection methods that are designed to break recruits and force them to work as a team. 100 per cent effort is required at all times - if any recruit is seen to giving anything less, they will face the wrath of Clinton and his team of directing staff.

From carrying huge concrete blocks across the hot South African landscape to learning real survival skills including drinking the stomach contents of a freshly killed springbok, and of course the dreaded 'Octopus' - a devious training device that forces cracks to appear in the already exhausted recruits - it doesn't take long until they are dropping like flies.

Knowledge, drama, comedy and the arts for a broad adult audience.

BBC Two is a lively channel of depth and substance, carrying a range of knowledge-building programming complemented by great drama, comedy and arts.

22 new faces are pushed to their limits by veterans from the special forces.
