Video 44659-Br-1-167_1 was recorded and transmitted on New Year's Day, 1975 and re-broadcast on 8 Jan 1975. In a 5-min sequence, Barbara Hooper and Pat Dallamore interview women in the Filwood Broadway shopping precinct about their New Year's resolutions. These range from giving up smoking to taking up more sex to eating more cheese. Knowle West residents today comment on the lack of shopping and social life on Filwood Broadway now.
