Living on the Land

on BBC Two England

Bill Symonds , Cider Maker and Country Gentleman
Bill Symonds was plied with cider in the cradle, nearly drowned in a vat of it as a child and when, in later years, his bank manager and accountant advised him to follow other small cider makers and go bankrupt he responded with the logic of a strong character fortified by the brew and sacked them both.
Now in old age he has become ambassador at large for the spirit of cheerful insobriety his family have fostered in Herefordshire for 250 years.
