Farrington of the F.O.(1986)

Farrington of the F.O. is a British sitcom that follows Harriet Farrington, a newly appointed Consul-General tasked with running a chaotic British consulate in a fictional Latin American backwater. Created and written by Dick Sharples, the series aired on ITV across two seasons from 1986 to 1987. The show mines comedy from the absurdities of diplomatic life and the clash between Farrington's ambitions and the dysfunctional reality of her posting. With a cast navigating bureaucratic mishaps and cultural misunderstandings, Farrington of the F.O. captures the farcical side of Foreign Office operations in an unlikely outpost.
