Borderline is a British mockumentary television comedy series devised by Michael Orton-Toliver and Chris Gau. Narrated by Ralf Little, the series launched on 2 August 2016 on Channel 5. The series follows the activity of customs agents working for Borderline, a fictionalised version of the Border Force, at the fictional Northend Airport.[1]

In contrast to most series, which require the cast to memorise a script, Borderline is "retro-scripted": the cast is given a plot outline to guide them as they improvise their dialogue and actions.[2]

As of December 2016, the series is available on Netflix in select regions.[3]

Production

In February 2016, it was announced that Channel 5 had ordered a new comedy series.[4] The news was revealed by Royle Family star Ralf Little.[4]

The first series was filmed at Coventry Airport in March/April 2016.

In August 2016, during the first series run it was announced by Ben Frow (Channel 5's Director of Programming) that the show had been commissioned for a second series.[5]
