We talk to Johnny Walker - Media Historian, Associate Professor at Northumbria University and author of the book 'Rewind, Replay : Britain and the Video Boom 1978- 92'. We talk all about Johnny's earliest memories of visiting the video shop and the impact the format's amazing artwork would have on him, the various video shops he would spend time in but also how his journey culminates in documenting the history of this long gone media format in his latest book and the impact it continues to have on today's culture.
