Public Information Films

The BBC has been featuring a series of old UK public information films this month. My favourites are Fridge Fear (sort out that old fridge before it kills a child!) and Protect Survive (what to do in a nuclear explosion, minus Morph and Chas!). The films deliver their serious messages with the deadpan matter-of-fact delivery of a 1950's bank manager. There is a cheerful nostalgia of a bygone era and the you can usually guess how much they spent on the budget (usually very little).

You can view all the films at National Archives website. Thanks to Gomer for the link :o)
