Description

The security of the UK’s frontiers is a major political concern, but very little is known by the public about how easy it really is to clandestinely enter Britain.

Smuggled sees eight teams of ordinary British citizens attempt to smuggle themselves from a variety of locations around continental Europe back into Britain without using their passport, evading Border Force authorities altogether.

The series is an unprecedented national security experiment: no one has ever tested our borders on this scale, with such a large variety of methods.

From boats to lorries, ferries to car boots – all of the contributors attempt routes that have been used by people attempting to enter the country clandestinely or by people traffickers and drug dealers.

It is an engaging and authentic look at of the task of keeping national borders secure.
