And according to Digi Tallis's scroll text, this demo was specifically for Allders. I wonder which store it would have been in back then. Or course, now Allders is defunct.
For those not in the know, Allder's was a UK department store that was founded in 1862. Tough times hit the chain in 2005, and it nearly closed. I believe one store survived, which then closed in 2013.
Capture info -
This video was captured on October 21, 2019.
The demo was played on an Atari 1040 STf, TOS 1.4, 1MB, equipped with a CosmosEX from Jookie.
A Best Electronics ST Monitor to VGA cable was used, connected to an OSSC 1.6 (processing the video in Line4x mode), with the output being captured by a Startech USB3HDCAP.
Video was edited with Shotcut.
