Charley Says - Public Information Films

[@philrob1978]

Brilliant - I had an evening with a friend when this VHS came out and we watched all of it - special times. I still have the VHS, and the DVD. These treasures of British social history need to be preserved and cherished.

[@LukePayton-g8d]

There was a dvd of this when?!

[@pearlkelly6337]

Is anyone else addicted to watching these haha, I am only 25 so I wasnt around at that time but I love them

[@davids8449]

Then there is hope for you yet.......I am 68 and remember them well wish I had a time machine 2023 is like living in hell. You would have liked the 50s and 60s

[@karenreed1945]

It’s my go-to when I feel shit about life , watching these makes me feel prepared 😂

[@pearlkelly6337]

@karenreed1945 yeah haha, I love public information films too

[@kxtherinepowell8225]

Absolutely thrilled, watched these as a child, thanks!

[@621pw]

Thanks for uploading this..I have it on DVD. One of my all time favourites; this is so much more accessible.

[@deanoanderson8502]

Same here..I think there is a part 2 DVD too.

[@davidprice5563]

It's is - a two disc'er DVD.

[@willlovesgaz]

Noooo!! Jimmy Saville with his clunk click!!!! Oh it's alright, Doctor Who straight after to save me with his Splink! 😂😂

[@johnmichaelrichards]

I have long said that they should be aired today, or at least updated versions.

[@DankEngine2005]

The Clunk Click ads would probably need a new presenter, that's for sure.

[@locutus155]

They did update the Joe and Petunia coastguard one in the early 2000's

[@felipeespinal2868]

I never seen these ads... I'm not British either (I'm from Mexico). But speaking of disturbing and nightmare ads... there is not more disturbing ad as the last one (that about leaking pipes) .... even the Protect and Survive ads (that I actually watch to relax or sleep tight) are not as disturbing as this final ad... specially at 2:08:53, when the whole family pretend to be frozen but the tiniest girl can't hold it to turn her face around.... it's chilling and creepy. XAXAXA! Thanks again for sharing!

Don't talk to strangers unless it's a British dude in a band telling you how to cross the street.

2:05:00 Its probably already been pointed out in the comments somewhere, but its the Actual Darth Vader! He came to our school.dressed as the green cross code man and not long after we found out he was Darth Vader aswell

[@sonyashort5824]

Its David prowse

[@JacknVictor]

I knew they had dubbed him over on star wars but didn't realise they had done it n these ads aswell, because although I was only in infants school, I remember him sounding like the Wurzels.

God damn the 70s didn't mess around

[@stephenturner6075]

They sure didn't. I was brought up on these public information films and they definitely influenced some of my decisions as a youngster when out playing. They did the trick for me and it's sad we don't have such things for young children today to watch and learn how to be safe.

[@West_Coast_Mainline]

What is that dog at 3:33

[@mikedavies565]

i still have the dvd's for these.

[@proud2bpagan]

I remember my driving instructor used to tell us when a driver sped in front of us "Don't worry,just keep driving the speed limit...he'll get there about five seconds before you do. Keep your cool"..danged if he wasn't exactly right!

[@Jcw-ls1kg]

Lol, feeling old now watching these 😂😂

[@eliserichardson8814]

Jesus! this brings back tons of memories. I'm getting old. the first clunk/click ad was made in Newcastle not far from where i live

[@DankEngine2005]

41:00 Is that Captain Mainwaring?

[@michaelclarke124]

Nice to see these again.

[@safcforeverftm9502]

That nuclear one - bloody hell 😱😱😱

[@nopcshere6097]

That's the famous 'Protect and Survive' PSAs produced in the 1970s. They were slated to be broadcast if & when it was believed nuclear war was imminent, which thankfully never happened. They were seen being broadcast on British television in the 1984 TV movie 'Threads'.

[@projectemerdon]

@@nopcshere6097 Ah yes, a fellow recent Threads watcher. Very good film, tragic future.

[@cleverhardy5230]

@@nopcshere6097 Indeed, cynics and those who wanted to protest against nuclear war called rubbish with some aspects of Protect and Survive. Especially with Inner Cores and Refuges, and plastic bags. Before Threads, parts of the series were shown on 80's documentaries of what Britain could have done should nuclear war be possible.

[@sonnythewanker6865]

Great samples from this man

[@bigdvinyl2012]

Greatest compilation ever love this

[@tiakore7524]

These are still very informative, I think children and maby adults are not aware of some of these common sense things. It's weird seeing Jimmy Saville and Alvin Stardust on safety videos and other videos showing children how to avoid these types, if it was even possible for them to avoid when care workers and parents were part of the ring.

[@DankEngine2005]

Anyone else notice that after the Protect and Survive ads the animated PIFs were discontinued? I wonder why that was. Did they just fall out of fashion or something? Edit: Okay turns out I’m just a dummy lol

[@locutus155]

They were never actually released to the public. They were meant to be shown if international tensions got the point that nuclear war was pretty much given. They were designed to act as a placebo and give the populace something to do that looked like it would do some good.

[@DankEngine2005]

@@locutus155 I don’t necessarily mean them though. I mean why did animated psas fall out of fashion?

[@locutus155]

@@DankEngine2005 for this video they weren't discontinued, but this DVD was originally released as 2 separate VHS cassettes. Part one was the animated PIFs and the second was the live action PIFs was on part two. When the DVD was released they just put the videos in the order on the original material so the animated stuffw and first.

[@DankEngine2005]

@@locutus155 Ahhh right. That makes more sense.

[@55tranquility]

Protect and Survive was intended to keep the population where they were by kidding them that a mattress and a few doors could protect them from thermo nuclear destruction, it was intended to keep people in one place and stop mass movement out of the cities etc. Most people were wise to this and realised if the bomb drops you’ve had it.

Feeling very American watching these We don't really need to see the people actually getting hit by cars, going through windshields. We do have scare, gory teaching films. But everyday commercials? Don't need to. We get the point

[@troywright359]

We British aren't afraid of the grisly truth. Road accidents in America, I don't think their information films prove a higher rate of success
