Scarborough sewage rebels head for the big screen
When a group of middle-aged swimming friends from Scarborough became worried about sewage in the sea in the 1980s, they started staging eccentric stunts to highlight their cause, and even took on the government. Now, their story is being turned into a film.

"No-one in Scarborough knew I was arrested."
Freddie Drabble was supposed to be a respectable local solicitor, but trying to navigate a leaky dinghy laden with a giant toilet - dubbed the Thatcherloo - down the River Thames outside the Houses of Parliament in an attempt to raise the issue of sewage ended in disaster.
The boat was listing, taking in water and surrounded by the river police. Freddie and the rest of his gang of sewage rebels were taken to Wapping police station.
Sitting alongside him was the commander of the hapless vessel, Captain Sydney Smith, who was well into his 80s. Captain Smith was asked if he needed to call to his solicitor.
"No need," he said "He's sitting there."
These days, the five remaining members of this group of environmental protesters are all in their 80s, but are as talkative as they were 30 years ago when they started causing outrage in their home town with their long war over a sewage pipe.
Their exploits are now making their way to the screen. It's familiar story of British eccentrics and a battle against the authorities, but also a tale of how high-minded idealism can affect peoples' lives in all sorts of ways. There are still people in the North Yorkshire town who can't forgive them.
They were, at the beginning, merely a collection of enthusiastic and slightly eccentric sea swimmers. But everything changed when Yorkshire Water revealed plans to "improve" water quality by building a long sea sewage outfall pipe in Scarborough's North Bay.
"We have got two fantastic bays and then someone comes along and wants to poison our waters," as Drabble puts it.
