2022 - 15: Britain's Water Scandal: Dispatches

Jimmy Doherty investigates why companies have been allowed to get away with dumping untreated sewage into Britain's rivers and seas for so long, and who is really to blame. Jimmy finds companies breaking the law, a sewerage system that's too small to cope, and thousands of sewage spills at some of Britain's best beaches. An insider reveals why the Environment Agency regulator is failing to hold privatised water companies to account.
