    MotharAGad... Looks like he's trying to get a rise out of people.. Surely someone a few rungs above Bruce the martial artist Lee would have had a screening of this programme before it was broadcast on Sky..?

    Just an observation, having seen an episode of this show for the first time this evening.
    Correct me if I'm wrong, but on the UK/Australian versions of this show, do they not open dodgy packages in rooms that resemble a controlled laboratory which are specially kitted out with large stainless steel worktops, sinks etc.?

    I always thought the logical purpose of this was to control the unintentional release of unwanted foreign flora/fauna, and also, where drugs were involved, to protect the officers from hazardous chemical exposure.

    My concern is that, in one scene officers were opening/handling/documenting various drugs at their workstations in an open plan office (AFAIR this was in Shannon), and in another, the ubiquitous officer in Dublin Airport was opening contraband food from a suitcase containing insects in what appeared to be an interview room.

    I can't believe the Bruce guy. He has zero skills at dealing with the public.

    I liked the Bruce guy, more of a bumbling idiot. The show overall is an embarrassment. If these are the people protecting our borders god help us.

    Yeah he is very rude and not good at dealing with people. Can't understand how he is working in customs.

    While it might not be a patch on some of the other custom shows, its all quite good. If the show got rid of bruce, it would be a lot better

    I know two custom officers on this and they even said this show makes them look stupid. The lad that had green diesel in his van seem to be the only one that got a fine in the show.

    I just caught up on last night's show, is it really appropriate for a government officer to call what is obviously a delicacy in another culture, "disgusting"? Wouldn't be a fan myself but sure you could say the same about black pudding and don't the Scandinavians bury fish for 6 months, dig it up and have for their dinner? Mank bags, but I'm not a government officer carrying out my duties

    I see customs officers don't even know the allowances. Where are they getting this 300 allowance for cigarettes within the EU from?

    Allowances from new members are only 300

    Why does he insist on showing his badge multiple times? It's pretty obvious he's not the airport cleaner.

    Because he is a classic example of someone who gets handed a badge or a high-vis jacket and thinks and needs to show he's God. I am appalled that the Irish authorities have allowed this man to be highlighted on a TV series watched by millions of foreigners. On the evidence we have seen he is an embarrassment to the country and isn't even remotely as funny as he thinks he is. His rise-a-row approach is deliberately calculated to evoke a response from his victims ("amigos", "my friends") thus allowing him the opportunity to show off his badge and authority.

    All of the other officials shown in action in this series are shining examples of how to go about their business. He is a classic example of someone who should never be handed a badge or a high-vis jacket.

    Well said. I am however looking forward to his shenanigans this evening.

    I was thinking there for a minute that the tears would release it. €18k OMSP for that age BMW seems insane.

    Happy for her I work with a lad that has the same attitude as her. Would she have to pay the 1800 euro plus the full vrt within 7 days or is the 1800 taken off the vrt
