Hotpoint Aquarius WMA30 spins but then sticks?

My WMA30 starts to spin but then sticks. I can move the drum by hand but after a couple of turns it starts to get difficult to turn. If I turn it the oposite way it starts freely and then gets difficult. I think there is something stuck but can't get inside the drum. I have taken the front off sucessfully but am stuck at where to look next.

Anyone please, the other half is home later and won't be pleased with the state of the kitchen....

The drum bearings collaspe after about 18 months on the 'wma' range. Big Job!
