As a child I remember a number of deaths being caused by kids getting trapped in discarded fridges.

 

[Leekbrookgull]

Never seen that one.

Here's a gem from the winter of 1963, showing how British Railways kept the nation moving, despite the snow and ice.

What happened to Petunia ?

Surprised no one has mention - Charley Says - yet. Classic 70's!

And fact for the day = Kenny Everett was the one doing the saying.

 

[Dick Head]

The mother of all public information films.

 

[Leekbrookgull]

Could be wrong,most of these films get the 'message acroos' ?

 

[The Lemming Stomper]

More disturbing than The Shining !!

A friend of mine had a video with 3 hours of these on (mid 90's - probably available on DVD somewhere!). We used to put it on for the morning after a party when loads had crashed over at his and we were hungover.

Really thats more worrying than the films themselves !!

It was a scary time growing up in the 70/80's - lucky we had the BBC showing all these helpful films after kids programmes like Jim'll fix it !

Charlie says don't watch retro public information films on your mobile whilst crossing the road!

Strangely, that's exactly how I discovered the 'Charley Says' VHS compilation in the 1990s! Was always shocked into becoming sober when the two nuclear war ones came on at the end.

Me too! But I think buying a whole DVD of these films and watching it would be extreme...

You are right Goldstone, but I wanted it for nostalgia,

Oh no, I wasn't disapproving. I have the Charley Says DVD too! Priceless

I was referring to watching a DVD of 20 or so public information films about nuclear war...
