Some of them were quite useful. I remember to this day road safety ones, crossing the road etc and as everyone rich enough to have a TV watched the same channels so all took on board the information.
That final one - the fireworks one always used to be shown as an edited version where they threw the firework and the girl screamed, then a stern voice-over said: "Don't fool around with fireworks!"
" So you're a smoker and you smoke at work ". Ends with the bloke squashing the butt on the factory floor(!) with the voiceover, " put it out properly! "
I grew up in Northern Ireland in the 70’s near to a couple of the places featured in that road safety advert. Sadly it has continued to be a major blight into the 21st century.
I’d reckon there were more pressing issues to occupy the emergency services in 1970s Northern Ireland than dangerous driving as you were more likely to be caught up in a bomb or be in the path of a stray bullet
What's the one where a Brummie or Scouser gives a 'french' lorry driver instructions in bad french on how to reverse his vehicle but the driver is English?
I can't believe she didn't flip him the finger, she had write of way to do that And I can't believe how corny, they should can them all and right whole kernel sweet cheeks/ cheeky corn
Did some Northern Ireland people learn how to drive in New Zealand ,driving here you take your life in your hands every time you go on the road,we must rate behind Russia in bad driving.
Nothing corny about these PIF's. They are far more entertaining than what's on TV today.
TV still the same - four years later.
Note to self.......never go on holiday with the robinsons
Lots of famous faces (Richard O@Sullivan!) and voices, too. Great memories of an uncomplicated world.
yes, indeed
The Robinson's didn't have much luck on the family holiday.
Didn't they get stranded on a desert island as well
Perhaps they should stop their unhealthy obsession with boats.

That guys haircut on the last pif is punishment enough for being a massive prat and throwing a banger at the girl he fancies!!!!
And condemned the poor girl to having to learn Braille
.....And also a life of bad acting, probably leading to a part in eastenders!!!!
blinded his poor girlfriend- awful
I remember the "Aiee ! It's Julie !" PIF been shown on UK TV in the early 1980s.
I remember all of these. Thanks for uploading them!
Those public information films are great and really put their point accross.
That final one - the fireworks one always used to be shown as an edited version where they threw the firework and the girl screamed, then a stern voice-over said: "Don't fool around with fireworks!"
that 1st advert with Richard O'sullivan is one ive been trying to find for 30 yrs. Thank you
And I did train for a career in the RAF. Great times.
Ain't that Dick Turpin, always was a menace on the highway.
Hilda Fenemore as the mum in the first PIF, best known as Elsie the cleaner in Are You Being Served.
Open your eyes is what a shout at reckless motorists going too fast and nearly t-bone me when i'm on a roundabout.
Does anyone remember the one warning you to make sure your cigarette is definetly out when inside a building as it could cause a fire
Yes, I can vaguely remember that one. Will try and find it.
@@doktoruzo Ahh that'd be great if you found it

They should bring some of these back. I remember the last one. :)
lol..yes, I remember a lot of them. A bit Nanny State. We'll make good citizens of you.
The clothes and hair are a laugh
@@doktoruzo Some people would love the original clothes now. :)
I'd rather have a public info film than something like the sugar tax.
yeah, agreed
Remember these like 👍👍👍
@@doktoruzonothing wrong with setting good standards, government encouraging good citizens. Of course we need to be aware in case they go too far
I do believe that the mid-twenties year-old man driving the Mark 1 Ford Capri is actually the actor Richard O'Sullivan.

“ before you go out in a boat it’s best to know how to swim as well”
@4:57 - Well if you're driving with a blindfold over your eyes of course you're going to crash !
I never check for board of trade passengers certificate, ever!
That young Richard o' Sullivan driving the car
We should bring them back.
Wow. The Robinson Family sure like their nautical escapades........
"Northern Ireland has a frightening record." Yes - It was by Fergal Sharkey, wasn't it ?
His hair was frighteningly over-conditioned!
They're not corny.I wish we had more of these nowadays because there are far more idiots around!
@3:56 - LOL ! Brian Glover !
O remember the fireworks add. Those bangers were a bloody niusance. Took them years later to ban them.
That's Robin before he had a nest.
...& when he was 'Man About the House'.

Ok the last part is f--king scary!
i had a mishap in my knickers
Where was that "It's Julie" fireworks ad filmed?
I can't believe she didn't flip him the finger, she had write of way to do that
And
I can't believe how corny, they should can them all and right whole kernel sweet cheeks/ cheeky corn
0:29 Gee, Richard O'Sullivan was a really bad driver, wasn't he?
No chucking fireworks? Bloody PC you can't do anything these days
....and don't personalise it.

As if Northern Ireland had enough troubles without bad driving adding to it.
So was Julie alright ?
She was fine! No actual firework went anywhere near her face! It would have been funny if the person who threw that banger had their hand blown off!
