Plot (short): The first interactive course on videodisc. English-German. There are also sequels in the Connections series: 

La Connection Francaise, Die Deutsche Verbindung (1990, Goethe Institute), La Conexion Espanola, The Personal Connction, The Meetings Connection (1991). Obviously all for business English. Different levels from beginners to native speakers. I found earlier Laserdiscs starting from 1983, but not interactive (Ensemble, Kontakte (BBC English), Switch On English (Klett)). Vektor Ltd. was previously Brighton Polytechnic.

Meetings, telephone skills, European topics, negotiations,...

I haven't found any pics of clips.
