Don't Mess with Me: Leicester Square

Documentary series about efforts to solve the problem of littering in Britain. Every summer weekend, London's Leiceister Square becomes the front line in the war against litter. Street sweeper Donovan reveals how he suffers verbal abuse and even violence from drunk clubbers as he attempts to clear their ankle-deep litter. And the team has to call in an expert, John the Flusher, to spray disinfectant in an alley regularly used as a public toilet. In an attempt to find out why we drop litter in some places and not in others, Margaret Mountford stages a psychological experiment. Plus, the uplifting story of canoeists reversing the tide of litter on Leicester's River Soar.
