This page contains links to scans of The Viewer And Listener and related documents.
The NVLA or NVALA (full title National Viewers And Listeners Association) was founded by Mary Whitehouse (1910–2001), a lady David Webb appears to have regarded with the same fondness with which most Christians regard the Devil. Going through the files I found several copies of the organisation’s magazine, which I scanned and added to the Miscellaneous Documents page.
I had expected this to be the sum total of such documents, but later, I found a folder labelled “INFORMATION & LITERATURE (VIA OUR ‘PLANT’)”. See the first entry under Related Documents, below. This folder contained several more copies. I have therefore moved The Viewer And Listener files to this dedicated page. Also included are scans of related documents found therein.
The issues for Summer 1998, Autumn 1998 and Spring 1999 were found in the CAC files.

If you haven’t heard the above acronym before, you haven’t missed anything. This is a double-sided, hysterical and inherently dishonest leaflet. See related documents.
Petition re A.B.U.S.E.
The above relates to the A.B.U.S.E. leaflet; this is slightly larger than A4 and is also in poor condition, so here is the bottom of the front. Here is the

Mary Whitehouse questionnaire
The above appears to have been mailed out with the Spring 1979 issue of The Viewer And Listener; it consists of 3 sheets of paper; the 3rd and 4th pages here are the 3rd sheet front and back. This is the best copy possible; it appears to be a photocopy that was sent to David Webb by his plant.
LAW – and disorder, February 1979
The above is the best scan possible without damaging the publication. It consists of 12 sheets of paper stapled together printed on one side only. The front and back covers are blue. Only the front cover has been scanned because the inside front is blank as is the entire back cover. The first page is unnumbered, the second is page 1, and so to the end, page 9.

Petition to outlaw pornography
Although the above document headed Campaign to Outlaw Pornography came from the NCROPA files, I actually picked up a copy at Bournemouth in 1990 when I met Mary Whitehouse.
