Description

Vox pops with people in Malvern about their water bills. Peter Green interviews John Winsor about the history of the Malvern spring and the claim that the water doesn't contain any minerals. Green next talks to Mr Gladwin, the Chief Chemist of Schweppes who bottle and sell the water, about the purification process and we see shots of laboratory work. We then see the water being bottled at the Schweppes factory at Colwall (cut to the song Lily the Pink). Finally Green samples bottled water inside the British Camp pub in Malvern.
