Seven videos containing unedited footage and edited reports probably for use in an "It's the Business" programme for Sainsbury's staff (mainly store management teams). "It's the Business" was the anchor business television programme on the "SMART" network (Sainsbury's Management and Retail Television). A label on a tape in the Archive which was subsequently taped over suggests that an "It's the Business" programme was broadcast on 5 August 1997. However the Archive does not seem to have a recording of a programme broadcast on this date.
