Springwatch, Autumnwatch and Winterwatch have all been popular hits for the BBC – imparting fascinating and little-known facts about the weather, wildlife, flowers and trees.
The shows’ proven format (of going on for day-after-day-after-day – for what seems like forever), is now being applied to a new variation: Toiletwatch.
Several hidden cameras will be installed in a busy public lavatory at an undisclosed location. According to the BBC’s press release: ‘This will give round-the-clock, live, uninterrupted coverage of the rich diversity of activities in our nation’s public loos. This kind of detailed exposure has never before been available on mainstream television – only on certain specialist websites that do not have the world-class ethical or production values of the BBC’.
‘This is wonderful news’, said Raymond Martin of the British Toilet Association – which is acting as technical advisor to the programme makers. ‘We all know that public lavatories are in decline, and it is essential that this trend be reversed. I’m sure that presenters Kate Humble and Chris Packham will bring the same popular appeal to people urinating on the floor as they do to rabbits hopping around in fields’.
There is already talk of a spin-off ‘Celebrity Toiletwatch’, featuring special guests such as George Michael.
