Torrent description

This torrent was uploaded from www.TheBox.bz (signup is open and free) - the home of all British TV

This is a collection of 42 original Party Political (and Party Election) Broadcasts, from a long-unavailable compilation VHS.

Some broadcasts (generally the more famous or entertaining) are presented in full, others as edited highlights. It's a fascinating potted history of both British political advertising and British social history since 1951. The file is a rip from a first-generation VHS, so the quality is good considering the source material and low production budget.

The full listing is as follows:
