Colour advert with sound for the Guardian. The advert intially features a black screen with the text 'A message from The Guardian'. This is followed by images of Europe against a backdrop of fireworks.

Commentary: "A message from the Guardian newspaper. At a recent Downing Street briefing, Peter Mandelson, the Northern Ireland Secretary, specifically requested that the Guardian and other national newspapers should not focus on the issue of Europe before the next election. Starting tomorrow in the Guardian, we devote a 20-part pull out section examining every single aspect, every argument, every nuance of every argument in the most comprehensive newspaper review ever on the issue of Europe".

The advert ends with an explosion sound effect followed by upbeat music and the tagline: 'The full debate on Europe. Between now and the election.'

The following strapline is presented in a label-like graphic: 'The Guardian. Fresh Angle. Sell by: 7/12/2000.'

Duration: 35 seconds. The advert starts at 01.02 on the mp4 file.

A cartoon in two panels. In the first, the three party leaders Jeremy Thorpe (Liberal Party), Edward Heath (Conservative Party) and Harold Wilson (Labour Party) are shown attempting to travel across some water to reach Georges Pompidou (President of France). Pompidou awaits them holding a Union Jack flag, with his arm outstretched to greet them. The three British politicians are making their way across the water on a sleeping/resting crocodile labelled 'Party Support', where Wilson leads the way holding a marching drum that says 'Europe here we come'. In the second panel, the 'Party Support' crocodile reacts angrily, opening its mouth to stop Thorpe, Heath and Wilson completing their journey to the other side. The message 'Party Support' is no longer visibile on the crocodile. Disappointed, Pompidou drops his flag and begins to walk away from the three stranded politicians.
