Connecting with the natural world

Please, please, let us remember this.

It is my habit to listen to BBC Radio 4 in the early morning. Especially The World at One from 13:00 to 13:45 BST and then, usually, the 15-minute programme transmitted immediately afterwards.

Yesterday, that programme was the start of a new ten-part series called RINSED. Here’s how it is described on the website:

1. The Bridge

Rinsed.

 Episode 1 of 13

After watching their local river grow murky and lifeless, two retired neighbours decide to take on the water industry and its regulators. The unlikely sleuths begin a ten-year battle to clean up our rivers.

On the banks of the River Windrush in Oxfordshire, Kate Lamble meets campaigners Ash Smith and Peter Hammond

Reported and presented by Kate Lamble 
Producer: Elle Scott
Sound Design: Andy Fell
Executive Producer: Joe Kent 
Commissioning Executive: Tracy Williams
Commissioning Editor: Dan Clarke 

Rinsed is a BBC Studios production for BBC Radio 4

Here is the link to the programme.

  1. Radio 4 is the best thing on air!

    You’ve reminded me I need to listen to Rinsed. Although it will make me incredibly angry… I know the privatised water companies simply pocketed billpayers money in the form of dividends and bonuses, knowingly pollute, because it’s cheaper than treating waste water and sewage, then file for bankruptcy or say they’ll have to increase bills by staggering amounts to address the problem of them not investing in upgrading the outdated Victorian infrastructure.
