    One of the biggest differences (according to the actual ex-SF instructors) is that throughout the real SAS/SBS selection the DS dont shout, dont encourage or decourage. Its about self-motivation. So psychologically you dont know how good or bad its going. And each part takes months to complete and you can fail at any time. This is just for TV.

      I’m pretty sure if you pass you get give an option if you want to do the real thing, and if you say no they show your reaction to getting a pass on TV and if you say yes they will put a reaction of you failing on TV. Doesn’t mean you get the real thing any easier, it more like they add your name to the list and make sure you get on the course but it’s just as hard.

    Nothing happens after they pass. The show just lets people see if they have the VERY fundamental building blocks to become an SF Operator, mostly celebrities these days and the show isnt as intense anymore in my opinion. Even Mark "Billy" Billingham, one of the DS, said that none of those who passed would realistically have any chance on real SAS/SBS Selection. Its just a show to see some basic aspects basically. Hope this shed some light, cheers.

    It is a first class production that gives a TINY glimpse of what SAS selection involves. The locations are breathtaking and the photography is awesome. In Season 4 they allow women on the course and some of them really kick ass!
    The instructors are a mix of SAS and SBS veterans. The show also raises money for cancer research in the UK.

      I'm in the British Army myself and I've been to presentations by SRR operators telling us what SF selection entails and how to apply. I also know 2 lads that have completed the hills phase, obviously it's brutal but if you are fully committed training up for it and if you have the right mindset it's possible. You're acting like there's no way physically possible for these lads to pass selection when in fact there is.

You need to have served as a regular in a Brit or Commonwealth unit for 2 years (with a few operational tours under your belt), before you can even think of volunteering for UKSF training (which is strictly SAS, SBS, SRR, a Signals and an RAF/Army hybrid unit). Then it's still down to your boss to give you the thumbs up. They can say no if you're any good, and they want to keep you in your current unit. We did once have 2 reserve units attached to SF - 21 & 23 SAS, but there was a reorg, and they are now considered ISTAR rather than SF units.

    This is nothing like the real SAS selection, although Ant Middleton and his team do a very good job at replicating it..civilians can not replicate what it is to be a soldier because their motives are different than those of a serving soldier who does selection..civilians are mostly doing it for the glory whereas a serving soldier has higher and more realistic motives..the SAS are not looking for glory hunters and will weed them out very quickly during selection..When I was in the forces, I was urged by some comrades to do SAS selection and although I was a good, extremely fit field soldier, I knew that I lacked that "je ne sais quoi" that it takes to do SAS selection.. I have had comrades who joined the SAS and I knew a couple of guys who also failed selection and one that actually died doing selection training and I know from hearing about their personal experiences that you have to be very special indeed to become a member of the most elite and highly trained special forces regiment in the world....
