'You don't have to believe it, but I do!', says Cornishman Donovan Wilkins about the strange and wonderful art of water divining.
Even today, in remote areas, there is a need to find water the old way. For thousands of years man has been dowsing with forked sticks to 'look' beneath the earth in search of water. Donovan and his wife Margaret earn a comfortable living from nothing more than the twitching of a stick. They have improved the lives of thousands of people.
In the first of three films, the Wilkins family are called in to find water for a thirsty dairy herd.

The last in the current series on the way we live now. Who'll Win Jeanette?
Three couples compete to adopt baby Jeanette.
Seventeen-year-old Liz,
Jeanette's mother, will judge between them. This is a new kind of American adoption, in which the natural mother chooses who'll take her baby. It would be illegal in Britain, where social workers and other professionals make all the decisions.
While she's still pregnant, Liz travels from Florida to meet the three couples in their homes in upstate New York. Will she pick:
- Mike and Natalie, anaesthetist and occupational therapist - Sharon and Anthony, teacher and administrator
- or Nick and Lark, lawyer and legal assistant?
Emotions run high as the 17-year-old makes her decision. Afterwards, in hospital, Liz prepares to give her newborn to the couple of her choice. But at the last minute, she has doubts. Photography MARTIN PATMORE Sound recordist STUART MOSER Film editor DAVID ELLIOTT
