Phew, what a stinker.
Yes, it's sewage, it's a problem, it's going to cost to fix it, and a large bill is coming our way.
Thames Water is going to spend 2 billion pounds to dig a tunnel so that sewage doesn't overflow into the Thames whenever there's a rainstorm. And those long suffering customers of Thames Water are going to pay for it. Liz Wickham has been investigating the project and taking a look at the company's balance sheets. I think alot of you are going to be rather annoyed....
We see extraordinary pictures of a raid on a passport factory ... And we're twitching down in Esher, where Glen has been to see for himself the flocks of parakeets who have made London their home, to the growing consternation of our indigenous birds.
More from South Africa, where a copper from the Met is learning a few tricks from his opposite number in Cape Town, and if you think you might be descended from slaves we've got a fascinating report to help you trace your roots.
And, then, the highlight of my day .. Tamzin's in her legwarmers, meeting the new cast of the musical Fame. And yes, they really did stop traffic!
See you at 6,
Katie and Al.
