BBC Two - Special Forces - Ultimate Hell Week, Series 2, GROMS - Poland

The exhausted recruits are put through their paces by a former lieutenant of Polish GROM.

The recruits meet their next special forces expert - Rafal Nowakowski, a former lieutenant of Polish GROM. Rafal starts with a basic fitness test and isn't impressed.

With the first 48 hours of physical tests complete under the South African Special Forces, the 18 remaining and already exhausted recruits wake up to their next special forces expert, Rafal Nowakowski a former lieutenant of Polish GROM. For the next two days, Rafal tests the recruits' physical and psychological strength, as well as their ability to think clearly under pressure and during extreme physical exhaustion.

Rafal starts his 48 hours with a basic GROM fitness test. Disappointed, he then takes them into the mountains for a 'simple' infantry exercise and it is not long before a couple of recruits are on his radar. As night falls, the recruits are forced to keep awake to carry out stress positions to Rafal's exacting standards, as well as a devious origami task to see who is able to keep their minds alert despite exhaustion and tiredness.

With little to no sleep in 36 hours, the recruits are then put through their toughest physical challenge to date, which leads to a surprising exit from one of the strongest recruits.

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.
