 orget Baghdad. Get ready for a series of daunting challenges that only a crack ancient warrior could ace. Can U.S. Air Force personnel withstand a Viking attack? Can the U.S. Army storm a Roman fort? Find out when four groups of modern-day men and women take on the task of fighting as knights, Vikings, Roman soldiers and gladiators in this riveting four-part reality-TV series from Thirteen/WNET New York and Shine Limited.
The producers of WARRIOR CHALLENGE wish to thank all who have contacted this Web site in hopes of participating in the next of PBS's "hands-on" history series. Though COLONIAL HOUSE has recently been cast and is, therefore, no longer accepting applications, we ask that you keep watching this space for further news on our next venture -- and, of course, that you tune in for COLONIAL HOUSE in spring 2004!
What made a mounted police officer become a knight? Why does life as a Viking win out over life in the U.S. Air Force? Find out in our "Meet the Warriors" profiles!
