First transmitted in 1985, this series follows the progress of 25 prospective members of the Mountain and Arctic Warfare Cadre (MAWC), a specialist unit of the Royal Marines.

Well worth watching if you've got a spare couple of hours. I doubt much has changed in the last 26 years either except they've got better kit and radios! Certainly some brave SOB's to get through it.

Excellent series, have the book that accompanied the series.
I have several friends who have done the training and they say it is "invigorating"

Fair play to all whom go for selection, it is a great stepping stone for character and life in general.
