SAS: Who Dares Wins Episode 2 (Channel 4 Monday 30 January 2023)
Today Monday 30 January 2023, there is a new episode of SAS: Who Dares Wins.
Episode 2 Nineteen of the original twenty recruits are still out there in the Vietnamese jungle, but one is stuck at the top of a 215-foot waterfall. He’s trapped on the rocks and worries that he’ll drown if he moves. The question is, “Will he be able to get out of this?”
Instructor in charge Billy Billingham says he has lost friends on such trips. In the future, if camp rules are broken, the punishment is a “beasting,” which consists of a never-ending sequence of extremely strenuous physical activities.
Some won’t make it. Those who make it through the first round engage in a round of milling, a form of severe hand-to-hand combat with other recruits. Will they be able to keep their cool and prevail, or will they give in to their opponent’s onslaught?

Season 8 Episode 2
Selection for the SAS is one of the world’s toughest job interviews and physical fitness is only the starting point. What’s really being tested is psychological resilience and character as candidates undergo sleep deprivation, interrogation and a series of increasingly complex mind games. In this programme, five ex-special forces soldiers re-create tasks from the SAS’s secret selection process, putting 30 civilian men through the ultimate test of their physical and – more importantly – their psychological resilience.
