A kind of love story
A highly acclaimed film that celebrates the warmth, affection and unbridled enthusiasm that women of all ages, and from every back- ground, feel for their horses.
In Suffolk, a lady farrier shoes heavy horses. In Lancashire, a mounted policewoman is engulfed by football fans. A London messenger girl looks for a space to park. In Lincolnshire a church organist, knocked out on Easter Day, and thrown again on Easter Monday, climbs on for more. And in Hampshire, a housewife who has given way to temptation five times already wonders if this time she can resist. Narrator

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.

Seven public figures in conversation with Dr Anthony Clare 3: Petula Clark
' I would have loved to have been the perfect wife and mother, to be able to cook and make jam and things, create a marvellous atmosphere of comfort and cosiness for my family. And I have tried. I do try. I also feel a little guilty about my career because I think that if I had given all my energies to it I would have done a lot better. So I'm caught between the two.'
