Health Hydro (1968)

Uckfield, Sussex. M/S of a stately home and grounds; commentator informs us this is the Buxted Park Health Hydro. A couple in swimwear go running along a path towards an outdoor swimming pool; other guests are splashing about in the water. In the gardens people play croquet. A ginger-haired man is shown his luxury room with a view by a woman (could be Principle Heather Shipman). Outside, on the steps of the main building, a woman practises various yoga postures. A woman chops fruit on a table; pan across a table of food offered: water with lemon, yoghurt, fruit, an apple and cheese. Nice shots as women collect trays of food from this selection and serve themselves at a salad bar. Various shots show the ginger man, clad only in a pair of baggy Y-fronts, being given a check-up by a doctor. He is weighed and has his blood pressure taken, then lies on the examination table to have his neck massaged. (Brilliant groovy music on the soundtrack.)
