Series 4 (Shortened Versions): Episode 10
The Maritime and Coastguard Agency investigates a collision involving a party boat on the River Thames. The boat had been hosting a Christmas party, and there were well over 100 people on board. The party had finished shortly before the collision, but £1.5 million worth of damage was caused. \n\nIn a separate investigation, there's a crackdown on bogus immigration advisors, often with links to people trafficking gangs. These advisors exploit migrants and con them out of thousands of pounds. Meanwhile, trading standards officers put a stop to a medical scam that could put lives at risk.
