Filthy Rotten Scoundrels is the series that goes undercover to investigate the criminals who are dumping hundreds of thousands of tons of rubbish on our streets. More than 3,000 fly-tipping incidents happen each day costing tax payers 55 million pounds a year to clear up. This action-packed and shocking series is voiced by Dominic Littlewood. We join the Environment Agency and councils across the UK as they use sting operations and 24 hour surveillance to expose Britain's Filthy Rotten Scoundrels.

In Burnley, a man gets the surprise of his life when he sets fire to a van load of waste on a derelict industrial site. A quick-witted CCTV operator dials 999 and he's caught red-handed.

In North London, investigators play an intricate game of cat and mouse as they hunt for the people illegally putting fly-posters across their borough.

Plus, lethal chemicals have been dumped on farmland in Essex but an officer is determined to catch the law-breaker responsible. Show less
