Will Self ponders questions of health in our insatiable thirst for mineral waters. When water flows freely from the tap, why are we so attached to the bottled variety? Today, how Buxton rose to prominence as a spa town in the 18th and 19th centuries and what it owes to the grand spas of central Europe. Over five episodes, Will investigates the story of five different mineral waters, and their enduring appeal. Producer: Laurence Grissell (Photo credit: Luther Self)
