Cardinal Richelieu Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 During the 90s, Northern Ireland churned out some pretty graphic road safety adverts. This one for (or against rather) drink driving is pretty harrowing - although quite comical at the same time. It could also be construed as "Drink and drive to make your car do tricks normally seen in The Dukes of Hazzard". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swarley Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 These are tremendous.Real blast from the past. Anyone find the cartoon one where the car blocks a box junction and a giant hand picks it up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillonearth Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 The Protect and Survive clips are ridiculous when you think about them; survive a nuclear attack by hiding under a few doors etc. Am I right in thinking they were never actually broadcast? They were only for use in the event of a nuclear attack, and even then chances are nobody would have seen them anyway, as the electromagnetic pulse from an airburst would have knocked out TV reception. Just as well they never spent all that much money on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tongue_tied_danny Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 My favourite ever involved someone reversing a lorry into a depot while some other guy gave him instructions in French. It ended with the immortal line: "Are there many of you French fellahs in Sheffield?" Alas I can't find it on YouTube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 The Protect and Survive clips are ridiculous when you think about them; survive a nuclear attack by hiding under a few doors etc. Am I right in thinking they were never actually broadcast? I'm sure I remember reading that the point of them was so that people didn't spend their final moments on earth in a state of complete hopelessness. By encouraging them to get under a desk it might have made them think they could survive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bert Raccoon Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Always liked the one about not playing with matches that Richard Bryer did the voiceover for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddiemunster Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 I remember one from around the early nineties which was about equality for the disabled & featured a thalidomide woman making scrambled egg n toast. She had a manual whisk under her chin & rattled her heid about to scramble the eggs. One of the most exotic wanks of my career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
