The podcast consists of a single episode and features the award-winning comedian chatting to Gary Lineker about sewage. The podcast is a companion to Lycett\u2019s upcoming documentary, Joe Lycett vs Sewage, which will land on Channel 4 this week.<\/p>\n
Lycett\u2019s conversation with Lineker will touch upon \u2013 per the official release \u2013 the \u201cnow-legendary moment [Lineker] \u2018relieved\u2019 himself on the pitch in England\u2019s opening game of the 1990 World Cup in front of hundreds of millions of people, Gazza farting during team baths and more\u201d.<\/p>\n
The podcast was meant to launch in November 2023, but was seemingly \u2018cancelled\u2019 in the wake of a public stunt devised by the comedian seemingly gone wrong. The stunt involved a giant inflatable toilet \u2013 dubbed the Turdis \u2013 \u2018accidentally\u2019 leaking fake sewage into Liverpool Docks.<\/p>\n
The fallout led to Lycett announcing the podcast\u2019s cancellation, but it was all part of a plan to draw wider public attention to the spillage of sewage into UK waters by water companies.<\/p>\n

Does that make sense?\u201d<\/p>\n
Following on from his previous documentaries \u2013 including Joe Lycett vs the Oil Giant and the BAFTA-winning Joe Lycett vs David Beckham \u2013 this new special will see the comedian take on the UK\u2019s water companies, investigating the effect they have had on our waters.<\/p>\n
