      Bless up, you wouldn't recognise the place now. Colonised, gentrified to death, all blonde and trendy.

    The Teddy Pendegrass album seen at 3:25 was released in June 1978. So I think this footage was filmed in Summer 1978.

      The Evening Standard headline says "Israelis blame Britain" just after 4 mins, so if someone has access to an archive of Evening Standard editions you could perhaps date this video precisely, assuming that paper was the paper published on that day.

    3:23-3:57 I see the album cover of Teddy Pendegrass - When Somebody Loves You Back (1978). I presume this original footage is from 1978 or 1979?.
