It's not the first time the BBC aired toilet stuff. Remember the (top model "scandal") last year. How unbritish of them!

There used to be sort of a cult of stuff like that, going by the title "wild feeds". It dates back to before DirectTV, when to get satellite TV you needed a big dish . I think it may have died out with the big dishes, plus I think most backhaul transmissions to local stations are encrypted now. Here's an article from '99: salon.com Plus a related link from that article, there doesn't seem to be much new there but I didn't look too closely at the further links: wildfeedtv.com
