Terror in 1970's UK - The public information film.

These films were shown constantly in 1970's Britain on the TV. Scared - you will be after watching these laugh

Wow,

I'd forgotten about all those, must have taken sometime searching those out.

It's weird seeing these, because I was at that age when they first came out. Now I'm a dad they take on a whole new meaning.

The scene's are dated but the dangers still exist today.

Thanks for sharing.

I just watched the last one. I must have missed it, but what is the film (the race) supposed to symbolize? How to escape a PHRASECENSOREDPOSTERSHOULDKNOWBETTER. takeover? Don't cross railroad tracks? What?

It is kinda creepy, not something that would be filmed today because it would be too traumatic to our sensitive natures.

Something that really struck me is how skinny (and healthy) all the kids looked. Do that today, and if they could even get over/through the fence most kids (and their parents) would roll uncontrolled down the hill and lay in a big heap on the tracks. My skinny, hyperactive 5 year old is the minority in his class. Kinda sad.

The tunnel race?

Is that the one where a couple of guys decide to take a short cut through a tunnel whilst doing a cross-country run. One guy falls in the tunnel and then the train comes.

Cross-country runs, what a pain they were, 5 miles ever week, come sun, sleet or showers, I surprised anyone from those days is still alive. ; )

Not quite as creepy, because the children actually seemed to be upset about the death, though it gets points for the adults not seeming to care, and disqualifying the dead girl for failure to complete the course!

Not a public info film per say but quite horrific for its time.

Hi Johno

Thanks for the link, I think, rewatching Threads probably wasn't a good idea as it can bring about some serious depression (now where's my CND badge wink ). No wonder the UK government tried to ban it. They didn't like realities of the subject, and they didn't want the population to know the realities .
There was a animated film called When the Wind Blows with Sir John Mills and Dame Peggy Ashcroft about the same subject. Don't know which film was worse.

If they are from the 1970's why does the "Dial 999 for coastguard" clip show the British chap using a flip-open-cellphone...and why is his lady using an ipod?

The films were horrifying! I was hooked from the first one! Thanks for the nightmares!
