*A very special thanks to Phil Knowles for drawing attention to this fantastic treasure trove of nostalgia*

Everyone in the UK over a certain age will remember those fabulously tacky and, some would say, iconic short public  information films that the BBC used to broadcast

• Are you an amber gambler?
• Learn to swim (with Rolf Harris)
• Driver fatigue
• Charlie says …
• Burst pipe!
• Ear protection (the one set in the working men’s club)
• Chip pan fire (with Keith Floyd)

They are all on TV Ark, free to download and enjoy

So follow this link and re-live the good old days of industrial deafness, strikes, power cuts and litter
