Metropolis: A Big Stink

on BBC Two England

Third of a six-part series looking at how technology has shaped and moulded the modern city.

Odourless, hygienic, sanitised - cities, especially London, were not always so. Using comic dramatisations and computer graphics, the programme provides a history of the WC and reveals the enormous Victorian sewerage system lurking beneath the city that was built to cope with all the waste.
