Due to air this month, the show sees civilians put through military training exercises to test their physical and mental strength.

Jason Fox, ex-special forces and show star, said: “Gaining access to the Well-Safe Guardian and working closely with their team for our task enabled a rare filming opportunity like this to be possible.”

Not only was this exercise out with the industry “norm”, but the organisation process through the digital work-from-home age saw ropes teams, ex-military advisors and high-level corporate bosses dialling in from their respective locations.

Benjamin Leigh, series executive producer, said: “We understood through the planning process there were several hoops to jump through before we could gain access to a location such as the Well-Safe Guardian.”

“The communication and planning that Well-Safe instigated throughout the entire project displayed professionalism, diversity and courage, giving us the chance to film an epic task in an incredible location.

“Even during the pandemic, all safety measures were made clear and communicated effectively, showcasing a fantastic one-team culture.”
