Thames Water's campaign to tackle blocked drains

It's a problem that's costing the country £100 million a year. Blocked drains can be caused by fat and oil going down the sink - but the vast majority are blamed on wet wipes.

Thames Water has launched a campaign to stop them being thrown down the toilet. Mary Stanley joined the teams responsible for clearing it up.
