Just as a neat curio: this was found at the end of a rental VHS copy of the Bollywood film Neel Kamal! There are cool things hidden in every corner :)

Patrick Troughton voicing the PIF. "You might as well set a mantrap!" Wonderful stuff.

The spinning globe of BBC1 always reminds me of the "programming news" sketches of Monty Python.

[@afonsogageiro]

Those used the previous globe ident, the blue-on-black one :)

It shows how un PC things were on BBC 1 in 1981 when one of the highlights of the evening was a contest to find who would be a contestant in Miss Europe. Also if Benny Hill had a new show on ITV at 8.00, 20 million people would be roaring their heads off at him being chased by young women.

shouldnt laugh but when he says the man had only just come back from hospital i couldnt help myself

[@chance3771]

After watching that Public Information Film, the only logical conclusion to come to is that housework is dangerous and potentially deadly. Therefore, I will be avoiding it as much as possible. ⚠️⚠️⚠️💀💀💀
