After decades of secrecy, the BBC were given unique access to an organisation that had never been filmed. This is the fully illustrated book that accompanied the fascinating series which lifted the lid on the work of customs and excise.The programmes entered the world of crack Customs target teams - a world of 'the need to know'; confidential briefings, coded conversations, covert radios, secret surveillance; of the long grind of information-gathering; of the 'lift-off'; and finally the drama of the 'knock', with months of work hanging on everyone getting it right with split-second timing and no second chances. In his fully illustrated book which accompanied the series, Gillman went with the programme-makers as they followed Customs officers in their various tasks.208PP + copious Col. and B/W photos
