What happens

SAS: Are You Tough Enough? was a British television documentary series produced from 2002 to 2004 exposing volunteer members of the public to the experience of the British Army's Special Air Service's selection process. It was presented by Dermot O'Leary. There were three series aired on BBC Two: the original in the Scottish Highlands, the SAS Jungle in Borneo (Batang-Ai in Sarawak, Malaysia), and SAS Desert in Namibia's Skeleton Coast. In March 2004, it was reported that the series had been axed due to poor ratings and high production costs; this was two weeks before filming of a fourth series, SAS Ice in Norway, was due to begin.
