Dear Michele Lee,
I am requesting the footage for nostalgia purposes. The item on the Holmes show was of a situation at the Auckland Easter involving an assault on a camera man by a carnival game owner. I do have a copy on VHS however over the years the quality has deteriorated considerably. My partner & myself were in the news item as it was my partner at the time who assaulted the camera man. Not one of his proudest moments but a little piece of carnival history I wish to preserve.
Yours sincerely& with thanks
Dael Armstrong-West
