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.
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.
