Second of six films on the workings of the Foreign Office. The Consul's Story. Jean Sharpe , 45, the consul at the British
Embassy in Bangkok, runs the busiest consular department outside western Europe. She is also responsible for a visa section that handles many sensitive and controversial immigration cases. With remarkable access, typical of this series, the camera follows her during prison visits to the British women held on drug-smuggling charges - Karyn Smith , Patricia Cahill and, more recently, Sandra Gregory.
