UK Border Force

It follows the immigration officers at Heathrow Airport's Terminal 3 and various immigration police forces like one based in Yeovil, Somerset. It also looks at the UK Border Patrol officers in Calais who aim to prevent illegal immigrants that hide in goods lorrys destined for the UK from enterting Britain.
