I ended up watching this on catch-up last night as it didn't seem especially well advertised. Shame really, as it's classic Lycett political stunt territory: funny, informative, at times surreal and yet still catches some out.

It comes along with this website that enables you to message your water company to stop awarding huge dividends to shareholders until the problems are fixed.

I remember near me we used to have a sewage farm and a market garden on the same site, the tomatoes and other products was massive and no-one cared less where the nutrients came from.

Given the fact that tomato seeds pass through the GI tract pretty well, you wouldn't even need to buy the seed!

I normally like Joe Lycett, but this show didn't really do it for me. It felt he was aiming for laughs a bit too often, and didn't really dig into the size and scale of the problem in the way that, for example Fergal Sharkey has.

I suppose if I'd been new to the problem, it might have been a more crowd friendly intoduction.

My money says Sewage with a 3rd round knockout.

We live in mid Argyll, and the guy next door to us is local born and bred. He tells the story of the school taking them to the sea to learn to swim, but they could only do breaststroke so that they could keep their faces out of the water and push the jobbies away as they swam!! Thankfully, our sea is nice and clean now, but I presume that's just because hardly anyone lives here! The thought of not being able to swim safely in your local sea is horrible 

I remember seeing turds in the Adriatic off Croatia in the eighties. Don't recall them featuring in the brochures.

Do you remember the bean sprout food poisoning outbreak? that was down to sewage and market gardening in close proximity. Raw food and bacteria don't make good bedfellows
