Revenge of the bin men

Did anyone watch that Channel 4 programme last night called Revenge of the bin men?
How funny was that! That programme was enough to put you off recycling for life. It seemed to exaggerate everybody's roles (it showed the extreme side of practically everyone). Did the Peterborough recycling officer Emma really have a recycling bin in her bedroom? I am sure I must have been dreaming! I think she went too far with that one.
The menacing music in the background just made for more entertaining TV. It really did sound like there was a war was going on.
The best bit of the show was the showdown between the Hertfordshire resident who wanted to keep the bigger wheelie bins and the councillor. And after all the effort that the Hertfordshire resident put into his campaign to save the bigger wheelie bins nobody backed his cause in the end!
I think the show should have put more emphasis on the fact that we are running out of landfill and councils face huge fines if we keep sending waste to landfill. I think if that message got across then it might have encouraged more people to recycle. I didn't get the overall message of the programme.
But showing enforcement/recycling officers penalising the public "is not a good look". It makes them look callous and calculating, especially when they claim that there is no word for recycling in Polish.
