1991: Are VIDEO GAMES a Risk to Children? | Gloria Live | Retro Gaming | BBC Archive
"Children and adults are apparently spending hours and hours in front of the television, not watching Neighbours, but killing drug dealers, scoring touchdowns, and even doing a bit of plumbing." - Gloria Hunniford.
Gloria Hunniford chairs a discussion about the merits of video games. With an estimated 250,000 homes in Britain now possessing a games console of some description, and a new report suggesting that playing video games could lead to children becoming social outcasts, Gloria asks - are games bad for us?
Joining Gloria and the studio audience for the discussion are psychologist Sue Stirling, Club Nintendo editor Mark Smith, and Radio 1 DJ - and self confessed "Nintendo freak" - Mark Goodier.
