1979 PEB radio version: |
1979 PEB TV version: Sally Willington remembering the 1979 broadcast in 1983 (10 year look back)… “We were Green in every sense and had no idea how to make our election film. I remembered a correspondence with an lTV writer in Portsmouth and asked him to recommend a source of help and information. He said go and see Jenny and Co in Soho. Jonathon Porritt and I went. After about half an hour, the two Jenny men came to the conclusion that ours was a revolutionary philosophy and, since we had no money they must help us. This they did and that is why we had such a good broadcast that it brought in 5000 members and is remembered to this day.” We are still searching for the video of the 1979 broadcast - please contact us if you have a copy |

The Ecology Party Election broadcast in 1983. The early 80s saw a lot of concern and activity on the anti- nuclear (civil and military) front reflected in the broadcast. |
"Politics for Life" - First election broadcast as the Green Party (was Ecology Party in 1983) "Is this the world we want for our children?" with Jean Lambert (later to become a Green MEP), Niki Kortvelyessy (Parliamentary Candidate), Jo Robins (GP Executive co-Chair), Dr.Richard Lawson (Green District Councillor), David Spaven (Scottish Green Party). |

This broadcast featured children talking (scripted) to camera about aspects of the world and things happening to them - known as the "Slime Child" video for obvious reasons. No grown up speakers, and no children were harmed in the making of this video |

Most of the above are transfers from VHS tapes recorded off-air and so quality is less than ideal.
