MACE is a programme to digitise the old ATV commercial TV archive for the Muddlelands. When they get round to the rest of them, there looks like some interesting stuff - did the Americans really visit Cottesmore in 1982 with a view to buying it? There seems to be some gems tucked away - frustrating that so many pieces have yet to be digitised and that so many are silent. This piece from 1979 looks appropriate right now; shame you can't see it just yet.
