Default Public information films

Ever wondered what happened to those quaint public information films with Charlie the cat telling us not to talk to strangers, and Joe and Petunia telling us about all kinds of perils?

Well wonder no more, you can view them all over again and get all nostalgic like...

You can get loads of these on a DVD called 'Charley Says'. It's usually cheap (around 6/7 quid) and the newer release is a 2-disc job that includes the first volume as a freebie.

Yeah, I've heard of that. I might get the two-disc one

It's well worth getting - I got the first vol in 2001 and that's absolutely crammed-full with the darn things so to get two volumes for the same price I paid for one is pretty value-tastic (it's even got that creepy 'stay away from water' one with Donald Pleasance.) Well atmospheric. :D

When I was little Tufty the squirrel featured in road safety information films. There were children at my school who joined the Tufty Club.

I remember being shown something similar at school about some children playing and one left the group and climbed into an abandoned fridge. I remember feeling very horrified at it.

I was a member of the Tufty Club. I don't know how old I was at the time (25 :D ) but I remember it being held in a large hotel in my village. Sadly the hotel has been knocked down. Everyone in the village assumed it was a listed building so it came as a bit of a shock when it disappeared. There used to be 3 pubs in the village - now there's only 1. Back to the Tufty Club. I don't even remember how often we went or what even happened at these meetings.

I didn't know they actually held meetings! I would have been dead jealous. I was jealous of this badge the members used to wear
