1976 UK Public Information Film. Road Safety. Dave Prowse seems to be using his own voice in this one, you can hear his Bristol accent pretty well.

The little robot character was a nod to R2D2, so that dates this clip to after 1976.
@Oscuros3 жыл бұрын
It's ok, everyone knew it was from 1980, because it has the fake R2D2 in it? That puts it past 1978, and it came out even later in the UK, because of our censors and they just liked taking ages to show films over here sometimes. Even that detail temporises it better without having to resort to the DVLA, but so does the Mark IV Cortina, although the fake R2D2 is more obvious and recognisable a fact to the casual viewer.

Green Cross Code: 1) Find a safe place to cross the road (Try to find zebra or toucan crossing). 2) Stand and stop on the pavement near the kerb. 3) Look all around and listen for traffic. 4) If traffic is approaching on either side or both, let it go. 5) When the road is clear, walk straight across. 6) Keep looking and listening as you cross.

thanks for uploading all these i have vague memories of seeing these on tv as a small child in the late 70s and early 80s and it was good to see them again. it makes me wonder why we don't have any public information adverts today in the UK. i remember one that was about change lanes at traffic lights, in the advert the 20year old ish son and new driver had to explain to his dad that he had changed lanes at traffic lights and someone had run into the back of his car fairly sure it was a cartoon advert any chance you got that one?

I saw an episode of "Cops" once where a Mexican immigrant was pulled over for running a red light he said " I swear officer, the light was BLUE!!" lol I know he meant green but its still hilarious.
