From helping victims of crime to advising Brits arrested by the police, the series also follows consular staff as they visit holidaymakers who end up in hospital and meet expat residents to hear their property concerns.

In a three part series, ‘Our Man In…’, provides unprecedented access to the work of British consular staff.

Thanks for that, but I'd be amazed if the programme doesn't concentrate on some of the more 'sensational' cases, featuring no doubt individuals who are drunk, arrested, beaten up or all three!
