Curator’s clip description

Mrs Bilson (Ruth Cracknell) appears to be a doddering old lady when the doctor (Gerry Duggan) collects her from the farmhouse where she’s cared for by her daughter Mrs Herbert (Jude Kuring). In the car, she becomes a different person – a spry senior with a liking for cigarettes and putting her feet up.
