Bad Lads Army: Extreme (2006)
(7 episodes)
The "recruits" are trained as paratroopers. One section will make a proper jump at the end of the series. The series was filmed at the former Royal Navy Cordite Factory, Holton Heath in Dorset.
Training focuses on the qualities expected; "courage" in particular. Activities include high ropeway exercises and cross-country runs.
Nine of the recruits each made a 3,500 foot jump, with one of the recruits needing to use his reserve chute.
The series was intended to be eight episodes, but was re-edited due to scheduling changes caused by two episodes losing their slots to football matches.
