England's water utilities have been under fire for leaks and discharging sewage into the rivers, something we are told they don't have the cash for. So why are they paying out huge dividends, which almost tripled last year to £1.4bn? Neil and Jonathan are joined by David Hall, visiting professor at Greenwich university, to peer into the murky world of utility financial flows.


Trigger warning: John Stuart Mill, private monopolies and nationalisation are all discussed.


Presented by Jonathan Ford and Neil Collins.

With David Hall.

Produced and edited by Nick Hilton for Podot.
