There's a good bit about them on QI. The chap who designed London's sewer system was apparently the great great grandfather of the founder of Endemol.

The irony here is...
...that the great-great-grandfather of one of endemol's executives was behind the development of the london sewers, pumping shit out of people's homes. Now Mr Bazalgette junior is pumping it back in again.
