A rather long video here; this programme is essentially a collection of 'ORACLE' (ITV's forerunner to Teletext) pages listing job vacancies around the Midlands, with some in-vision presentation from Vera Gilbert at the beginning and end of the show. Perhaps what makes for fascinating viewing all these years later are the types of jobs available back then, and the typical salaries that these would pay. In these days of dedicated job vacancy websites, a TV-based service broadcast early in the morning seems wonderfully archaic.
Broadcast: Monday, 25th February 1991.
