The Real Filth Fighters

(15 x 30 - HD)

The war on filth is relentless. The statistics are shocking: Councils across the land have seen over a 40% rise in their use of extreme cleaners to clear their housing after an eviction or tenants have moved on. Every two hours we throw away enough rubbish to fill the Albert Hall, that’s over 3.5 million Double Decker bus full’s every year. It seems that our throwaway society reaches no bounds.

In this series we go behind the daily work schedule of our nations Filth Fighters and reveal the fascinating real life stories of the men and women who are constantly confronted by the horrendous detritus we leave behind. The series delivers an exclusive in depth and often endearing look at the unsung heroes of grime and how they and their families lead their lives out of work while, to most of us, they have one of the most disgusting jobs on earth.

The Real Filth Fighters returns to Sky with this 15 part run. Previously the series rated in some key slots 16 times higher than all other shows.
