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

I remember the "Aiee ! It's Julie !" PIF been shown on UK TV in the early 1980s.

Lots of famous faces (Richard O@Sullivan!) and voices, too. Great memories of an uncomplicated world.

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!!!!

blinded his poor girlfriend- awful

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 1st advert with Richard O'sullivan is one ive been trying to find for 30 yrs. Thank you

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!"

I remember all of these. Thanks for uploading them!

Those public information films are great and really put their point accross.

Hilda Fenemore as the mum in the first PIF, best known as Elsie the cleaner in Are You Being Served.

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.

Ain't that Dick Turpin, always was a menace on the highway.

And I did train for a career in the RAF. Great times.

I do believe that the mid-twenties year-old man driving the Mark 1 Ford Capri is actually the actor Richard O'Sullivan.

@4:57 - Well if you're driving with a blindfold over your eyes of course you're going to crash !

Open your eyes is what a shout at reckless motorists going too fast and nearly t-bone me when i'm on a roundabout.

@3:56 - LOL ! Brian Glover !

I never check for board of trade passengers certificate, ever!

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

They should bring some of these back. I remember the last one. :)

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

We should bring them back.

Wow. The Robinson Family sure like their nautical escapades........

O remember the fireworks add. Those bangers were a bloody niusance. Took them years later to ban them.

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?

0:29 Gee, Richard O'Sullivan was a really bad driver, wasn't he?

....and don't personalise it.

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.
