Without Limits on BBC One

Wednesday 17 October and Wednesday 24 October, 8pm-9pm.

Following the critically-acclaimed series Without Limits: Vietnam, this two-part observational documentary follows a team of injured British and Australian veterans embark on an extraordinary 1000-km expedition across Western Australia’s remote Kimberley region.

Their journey heralds the start of the Invictus Games in Sydney, where Invictus patron HRH The Duke of Sussex offers his advice and support to a five-person team, led by former Parachute Regiment officer Martin who was injured in Afghanistan in 2007, and who joined the Duke on an unsupported trek to the North Pole as filmed in the BBC’s Harry’s Arctic Heroes.

The Duke of Sussex meets Martin - and British veterans Shaun and Keanie - before they head to Australia, where they join up with their Aussie teammates, Dean and Matt. These veterans are all dealing with visible and invisible challenges of life in civvy street after medical discharge from the Armed Forces.

Shaun lost both his legs and was blinded when he stepped on an IED in Afghanistan - he spent six years in hospital and has regained some sight in one eye. Keanie endures chronic pain in her back and hips after an injury during training - she also suffers from severe anxiety and depression. Both Dean and Matt were injured whilst serving in the Australian Army and both suffer from chronic pain and severe PTSD.

This emotional, hard-hitting, yet uplifting series reveals their often brutal backstories and sees them pull together as they take on tough off-road driving in adapted 4x4s and physically demanding treks in some of the most stunning and extreme locations on the planet.

In Sydney, the team will be reunited with the Duke of Sussex for the start of the Invictus Games 2018.

Without Limits (2x60) is a BBC Studios Unscripted production (Bristol) for BBC One, and the executive producer is Lucy Carter. It was commissioned by Charlotte Moore, Director, BBC Content and Clare Sillery, Head of Commissioning, Documentaries. The BBC Commissioning Editors are Hamish Ferguson and Jamie Balment.
