SAS show but it's not the Who Dares Wins. It's the, forcing actual active duty members of the SAS into doing the normal challenges of daily life in adulthood. The challenges are:
Go to Tesco and ask for help in finding a certain object,
Make a conversation to a stranger in any place where humans usually commune together,
Visit your in-laws
Go grocery shopping and make eye contact with the cashier as you demonstrate proper decorum in conversing with them and paying for your items and get a veteran's discount
