A brand new comedy set on that stretch of land where the EU meets the UK. Shadowing the Soft Border Patrol, the fictional border agency backed by governments in London, Dublin, Belfast and Brussels, this hilarious mockumentary monitors those who monitor those who are caught between a rock and a soft place. Does a plank across a stream constitute an illegal border crossing? Is chorizo still legal in Northern Ireland? Thankfully the SBP are here to provide information and clarification.

Cross-border crease-ups featuring the men and women working hard in a soft terrain.

Complex territorial issues addressed by the independent organisation monitoring the thin dotted line between the EU and the UK. The Patrollers carry out a suspiciously lengthy strip-search on a smuggler, dispose of some controlled explosives with a controlled explosion, and suffer some contentious fallout from a visit to a Mexican restaurant. Meanwhile, the 'virtual border' gets a real grilling from a BBC reporter. Comic mockumentary following the SBP, the visible presence ensuring the border remains invisible.
