We each spend three years of our lives on the toilet, but how happy are we talking about this
essential part of our lives? This film challenges that mindset by uncovering its role in our culture
and exploring the social history of the toilet in Britain and abroad - as well as exploring many of
our cultural toilet taboos. Starting in Merida, Spain with some of the the earliest surviving Roman
toilets, we journey around the world - from the UK to China, Japan and Bangladesh - visiting
toilets, ranging from the historically significant to the beautiful, from the functional and
sometimes not-so-functional to the downright bizarre. Leading the journey is Everyman figure, Welsh
poet and presenter Ifor ap Glyn, who has a passionate interest in the toilet, its history and how it
has evolved over the centuries, right up to the development of the current design. Finally, there's
a glimpse of the future and a possible solution to the global sanitation issues we now face.
