An interactive installation inviting you to reflect on the character portrayals, news reports and documentaries that were broadcast on TV throughout the 1960’s, 70’s, 80’s and 90’s.

• What memories do you have of watching TV with family and friends in those eras?
• Did you appear on TV yourself during that time? What kind of experience did you have?
• What old TV programmes stand out in your mind and why?
• How do you think what we see on the ‘box’ makes us feel about ourselves and other people?
• If you could step back in time and change anything about the TV programmes you encountered when you were younger what would that change be?

This exhibition is part of a research project exploring the influence and impact of broadcast media. Everyone is welcome to get involved - step inside the simulated retro TV ‘set’ where you can either take part in filmed interviews or record your own videos or audio clips to send in. The installation also features imagery from Michael McMillan's highly acclaimed 'The Front Room', and it forms the backdrop for a series of pop up photo-shoots.


(Please check the notices in the library foyer for dates/ times of filming & photography activities)
