The Old Wives' Tale
In the quiet of a Cotswold cottage, an 'old wife' tells some of her tales. Born in the last century, VERA BANDEIRA chats by the fireside to
Professor Noel Dilly. He tries to bring a little 20th-century understanding to household remedies of old, from cinder tea to cow-pats for boils. Film editor JIM LATHAM Producer JOHN LYNCH
