BORDER SECURITY - AUSTRALIA'S FRONTLINE is back on Seven in '08 for another action-packed series.

Taking viewers behind-the-scenes of Australia's Immigration, Customs and Quarantine departments, BORDER SECURITY - AUSTRALIA'S FRONTLINE is fly-on-the-wall television at its best. With compelling, emotion-charged stories and real human characters, it was the must-see show on television last year.

Nominated for a 2006 Logie Award for Most Popular Reality Show and again in 2007 for Most Outstanding Factual Series, the program has attracted a huge and loyal following since it debuted three years ago. After such a phenomenally successful year, Series 5 is the most anticipated yet and it promises to be bigger and better than ever before.

Executive producer Dan Meenan says fans can expect the same winning formula as well as a few surprises. "Border Security - Australia's Frontline is going into areas it has never gone into before," he adds. "On the surface the show is about stopping drug runners and catching criminals but in fact it's really a show about compassion, competency and human nature.

"Fans of this show will not be disappointed. And people who've never seen the program will also love it. It's the kind of show that gets you hooked from the moment it starts. There's no resolution until the very end so it keeps you right on the edge of your seat."

The growing popularity of BORDER SECURITY - AUSTRALIA'S FRONTLINE has meant its cameras have become a familiar sight at our airports. Filmed with the full cooperation of Customs, Quarantine and Immigration, Seven's crews are granted full access to all areas of national security - not just at our airports, but in our coastal waters and mailing centres. The cameras are always in the thick of the action, capturing all the suspense, drama and emotion of life on the frontline.

"On one hand, the show has become easier to produce because people recognise Border Security's cameras and are more than happy to cooperate. But on the flip side the drug runners have also become aware of the show. We're now in the fifth series and these people are finding new and innovative ways of hiding their drugs, which makes the stories that much more intriguing."

The stars of the show are the men and women who patrol our airports and coastlines and protect our country from drug runners, illegal immigrants, potential terrorists, harmful pests and disease. Since BORDER SECURITY - AUSTRALIA'S FRONTLINE began, each department has recorded a swell of interest from people keen on pursuing these careers after seeing the heroic and commendable work they carry out on a daily basis.

Actor Grant Bowler again returns as the show's narrator. As the voice of BORDER SECURITY - AUSTRALIA'S FRONTLINE, Grant's controlled delivery is the perfect sound piece for the unfolding drama. Grant is one of Australia's most accomplished actors. His extensive television credits include Blue Heelers, Always Greener, Medivac, Wildside, Halifax F.P., Farscape, All Saints and Stingers. He was also host of Seven's Logie Award-winning reality series The Mole.

BORDER SECURITY - AUSTRALIA'S FRONTLINE is number one when it comes to action, drama, and real human emotion. Find out why it was one of the most talked about programs of 2007.
