Eamonn Holmes reports from the Belmont Road in east Belfast where the new Family Viewing Video Library had recently opened. The owner, Richard Gunning, explained the thinking behind the new venture and stated that despite horror and ‘blue’ movies not being stocked it was still no problem to fill the shelves. He suggested that as soon as people heard the word ‘video’ their next thought was of the word ‘nasty’. At this point there is an insert of adult movies from the shelves of an another outlet. It is also reported that Family Viewing won’t even stock the then-current Clint Eastwood release, "Sudden Impact", because of violence.
Despite, or because, of the limited range of videos on offer the establishment had attracted 700 members in just thirteen weeks. This report highlighted the backlash to so-called ‘video nasties’ in the mid-80s with the tabloid press of the time running lots of stories on the alleged corrupting influence of home video.
