Comedian Chloe Petts explores the history of the loo from ancient Roman latrines to the culture wars of today.

To help Chloe on this historical journey of the loo, she is joined by a new travel companion, the Ghost of Sir Thomas Crapper - who also bears quite a resemblance to comedian, Ed Gamble. In this episode the pair visit ancient Rome and explore the sense of shame around the loo.
