To help Chloe on this historical journey of the loo, she is joined by travel companion, the Ghost of Sir Thomas Crapper - who also bears quite a resemblance to comedian, Ed Gamble. In this week's episode Chloe arrives at the 20th Century and looks at the controversy surrounding public bathrooms both in the UK and the US.
