Scorpions, snakes and spiders abound here –but there is a much greater threat lurking in the long grass.

Explorer Benedict Allen presents this brand-new adventure series. Eight volunteers undergo an onslaught of physical and mental pressure in a bid to be declared ‘unbreakable’. In the first episode, the hardy participants contend with the heat, humidity and wildlife of the Amazonian jungle. They must endure tribal rituals, survive a gruelling run, wrestle an anaconda and wade through piranha-infested water.

Filmed across four continents, Unbreakable takes eight super-fit members of the public on a punishing global trail to undergo a series of brutal challenges. From the Norwegian arctic to the Sahara Desert, the volunteers will learn to survive in the world’s harshest environments and endure some of the toughest military training around. They will be bossed and cajoled by physical trainers and survival experts as they bid to outdo – and outlast – each other.

Tell us about the series.
Unbreakable is all about seeing what ordinary people have that could make them extraordinary. We took eight fit characters off around the world and put them through hell to see what physical and mental strengths they could find in themselves to get them through it.

How did you select the participants?
We wanted people who were already physically very fit and had a discipline of sorts, so we got a wide selection of people. A boxer, an Olympic-class skier, a gym instructor, a rugby player. They were all put through their paces and tested psychologically to make sure that they were able to take some of what we were going to put their way.

What qualities does it take to be ‘unbreakable’?
What it takes is belief above all. Eighty per cent of any struggle is mental. Okay, you’ve got to be fairly fit, but it’s all about the mind. You’ve got to be able to move your mind away from the hell you’re going through into a better place.
