UK Border Force

The Pig Farmer (2x5)

Ausstrahlung: Sep 26, 2009

At the British High Commission in Lagos a pig farmer is quizzed about his colourful history in Britain of dodgy travel documents and a fracas with the police. He accuses the British visa system of letting him down and preventing him from running his pig farm. Visa clearance officer Phil Morgan tries to find his way through the bluster. In this episode, for the first time on UK Border Force, we have access to a foreign airport. At Lagos Murtala Mohammed International Airport a lone female UKBA officer advises airline staff on travellers to Britain. It’s a dangerous job and she travels to work every day in a bullet-proof car and a support jeep with armed guards. Today a pregnant woman bound for America via London is stopped at the gate. She suspects this is a plot to have the baby in America to get US citizenship. The flight is held up and tension mounts.
