Is it just me or have they stopped promoting this show in favour of My Reno Rules?
I haven’t seen a SAS promo in weeks.
Seven has been showing the promo this week. I saw it a couple of times during Australian Idol.
Natalie Bassingthwaighte is on the cover of Stellar magazine inside News Corp papers this Sunday.
Brutal beyond belief

Fourteen Australian and British celebrities from the worlds of music, sport and entertainment are about to discover what happens when fame counts for nothing. Watch them take on the infamous SAS selection course in SAS: AUS v ENG, premiering 7.30pm Wednesday, 29 April on Seven and 7plus.
Across a relentless series of episodes filmed in the blistering heat of North Africa, they put individual courage and national pride to the test, taking on a succession of punishing challenges inspired by real SAS selection.

I do think it’s good the show had a decent ‘rest’ and TBH this one looks a bit better and without Ant and his later baggage in the press that came out should also be a positive. Seven have marketed this fairly well too.
Not saying it’ll do great stuff, but they’ve gone the right way I feel in trying to take it back to the original or S1 here and give it one last crack. If it works, could be a handy TV quarter series or filler for Seven for another year or two.
Not sure we need this when there’s plenty of SAS in the nightly news at the moment.

I’ve just finished the premiere episode. Ryan Maloney is something else. I hope this is just some weird performance for the show because if not, he’s a totally different person to what I thought.
