Whicker's World: Isle of Astrologers

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

Alan Whicker visits Ceylon

"He actually made a coffin and got into it - but he didn't die..."

How long will you live... Whom will you marry... Will you be rich or poor - or Prime Minister...?

Do you believe that everything in life is determined, at birth, by the position of the planets?
Most Ceylonese have no doubts. For them astrology is not just a vague three-line prediction in a newspaper, nor palmistry an amusing diversion; it's a way of life, a creed.
Ridiculous? You could change your mind if you watch "Whicker's World"
