Old Wives' Tales
Retold by Noel Dilly
A vivacious, lighthearted half-hour, which, as far as I was concerned, could have gone on for the rest of the evening. (DAILY MAIL) Does thunder make the milk go sour? Do cows really know when it's going to rain? And are bee stings really good for rheumatism? PROFESSOR DILLY enthusiastically travels the Cotswolds on the track of the old wives. He takes a lighthearted look at the tales our grandmothers told us. Do these time-tested rules of rural life work? Well, he tries to answer that too.
