Rowntree's have received hundreds of letters from schoolchildren worried about their favourite chocolates.

Rolos and Yorkie bars roll off the production lines at the Norwich factory of Rowntree Mackintosh, and employees arrange Weekend chocolates and sweets in their boxes. Norwich South MP John Garrett is interviewed about prospects for the company workers following bids from Swiss companies Nestlé and Suchard to take over Rowntree's. He aims to raise this with the Monopolies and Mergers Commission as a matter of national interest. General manager Peter Edwards and women employees talk about the public response, the effect on their families and concern that the company should remain British.Later in 1988 Nestlé acquired Rowntree Mackintosh and in 1996 the Norwich factory was closed, though production of rebranded products continued at the York and Halifax factories.The reporter was Rebecca Athersone for this video made to be shown in a news story on Anglia Television's early evening news / magazine programme About Anglia.

Video filmed to be inserted during live broadcast of Anglia Television's early evening news / magazine programme About Anglia. The live studio presentation provided context for the video as part of a news story or magazine feature within the programme. About Anglia was not recorded during broadcast, so it is usually just the pre-recorded programme inserts which survive. In the 1980s Anglia Television was broadcasting to a wide area in the East of England including Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Essex, Norfolk, Northamptonshire, Suffolk and adjoining parts of Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire and Rutland where there was some overlap with neighbouring ITV regions.
