🩺 The Medical Exam in Season 3

While specific details of the medical exam during filming aren’t comprehensively documented, here’s what is reliably known:

• The show recreates basic British Army procedures in line with 1950s-style National Service—so recipients would undergo standard medical checks typical of British Army recruitment.

• One scene remembered by viewers involves a recruit being asked by the doctor: “Don’t you masturbate?”, which caused quite a reaction and was noted in an IMDb review Digital Spy+4Exército Britânico+4Reddit+4TV Tonight+5IMDb+5Military Gogglebox+5.

Beyond that, no official source offers a full breakdown of what was included in the on-screen medical, such as vision tests, cardiovascular screening, or other standard measures.

🧠 Context: Modern British Army Medical Requirements (for comparison)

Though not specific to the show, here's what the current British Army typically assesses in its recruitment medicals:

• Review of medical history, covering areas such as back, bones/joints, cardiovascular, respiratory, eyes/ears, skin, and psychiatric conditions.

• Individual assessment for eligibility; certain conditions can delay or prevent entry.

• Applicants with history of substance misuse must show at least 3 years' abstinence before joining Exército Britânico.

It’s safe to infer that the show followed a simplified version of this model—screening recruits for general fitness and declaring whether they were fit to continue. Adam Oakley, one recruit, was medically discharged during Season 3, which suggests active use of the exam to remove unfit participants Military GoggleboxWikipédia.
