Found our 1994 media guide during office clear out: "For an event of immediate importance you can send a roll of film direct to the newspaper for processing provided it is black and white." #timeshavechanged

"Never drink more than one small gin/ beer before appearing. Drink pumps up the blood vessels. Your face could end up looking like a road map of Mars. Tension also ensures you get drunk more quickly...especially if you have been drinking earlier in the day." #90smediaadvice

"Water is usually provided on the set. Wet the mouth only. Taking large gulps produces flatulence and will make you sweat profusely, especially on the upper lip." - From the do's and don'ts of television performance, 1992 #90smediaadvice

“If you are a man, it’s important to check you haven’t sprouted a five o’clock shadow before the interview starts...Your hair should not be long or shaggy, but don’t have a haircut on the day either. Television has the capacity to make people look like puddings” #90smediaadvice

“Drunk interviewees are like drunk drivers – never as good as they think they are.” - from the reassuringly titled "How to survive and win with the media – a self-defense manual for prospective interviewees" (1987) - interviews must have been interesting back then!
