| + | |
- | | + | |
- | Reality show that began as an experiment to see if the youth of today could hack 1950s style national service, the first series was a success but subsequent series' have had a twist: now criminals sign themselves up to it to see if they can become better people.

- | The show has always traditionally split the group into two sections, red and blue, and competition has always been an element. This time round the show is rather more structured - the sections spend much of their time in each episode working towards a final challenge, the winning section of which gets to hold the "Pegasus Cup". Winning a challenge also means they get a reward. However losing a challenge means your section being punished whilst the others enjoy themselves - there are no prizes for second place.

- | The section which wins the most challenges gets to do a proper parachute jump at the end of the series.
