My dad in our new car!

[trashiscool1]

wee boy sounds like a young ray winston."anybody tried that with my dad he be fuking dead".

[Groonblatt]

I'd love to know what the music on this is called. It sounds like a Keith Mansfield tune. Does anybody know what it is?

[NymphZoic68]

@Groonblatt: John Cameron - Brass Monkey.. off of 1972 Jazzrock LP - KPM Library. Cameron and Mansfield worked together on various pieces

[Groonblatt]

@NymphZoic68 Brilliant! Thanks very much.

What memories. "How would they explain that to my nan!" has become a catchphrase in our family. This used to be shown virtually every Saturday morning after children's TV and before the afternoon sports programmes began.

[boydegg]

I've just watched this for the first time in over 30 years. I remember it so clearly. Never understood it as a kid.

[stickinsect67]

i remember this oine yrs ago cannot when it was 1st broadcast

[becalmned]

brilliant when the trumpets come in..BAAA......UUUURRP......BAA­A.....UURRP.....

[rureal38]

oh my god, this brings the memories back!! had fogotten all about this, always used to be shown in saturday morning cinema.

[defender5151]

I was going to get some longer trousers and a propper boys coat to replace this girly one that Nan got me from the Jumble Sale but Dad spent all the money on a new car.

[danglebearing]

Dad the road rager, he was about to stab my mum

[mistofoles]

"SUPRISE!"

[RAY0112006]

Where about was the park/subway scene filmed?

Take's me back that.

[wankeruk]

[TheChosen1337]

[stuh1975]

Wallies!

[djugly]

for anyone planning to drive into their children this bank holiday

[RicardosRealm]

Wonderful stuff. Haven't seen this ad since i was a kid in the 70's ,when it was shown repeatedly . Seems unbelievable now that a 2 minute tv safety ad warning adults about crossing roads safely and using the subway instead was ever made.

Thanks for sharing.

[rowe2371]

Brilliant advert..

[ShiitakeWarrior]

"My mum should be wearing L-plates CROSSING the road!"

What a way to diss your mum! XD

[koolyman]

lol. It'd go perfect with a "Your ma" joke.

[eyebawl1]

that kid looks like a very young ray winstone.

[pup2097]

Clear case of freakin road rage if you ask me !

[93LINIGHAN]

This was always on before world of sport about 12:30 (ish).

[mumu23k]

Best. PIF. Ever. I loved this as a kid.

[dymond9999]

No my friend, Scotsman! but I know what you mean.

[LuxuriousLuxembourg]

Yorkie.

[dymond9999]

The Boy,s goldfish must have died while he was making this.

Otherwise why would he be wearing his trousers at half mast?

[lawzzybee]

The dad's not daft - he knows there are crack heads with long knives waiting in that underpass!

[harleysmurf666]

Blimey, this lot are a liability!

[marksoutof10]

"Me and him had been in the park Sunday morning, then he remembered he hadn't brought the car."

I love that line!

[mortegi]

Great post...thanks for that.takes me back to my childhood.

[ChessChat]

amazing I haven't seen this for 30 years but I could remember nearly every sentence.

"if anybody had tried this when my dad was driving he'd have done his nut" LOL

[Zed1967]

Same here lol.

I'm looking for the one about what to do if you get a flood in the house that is really patronising as it says turn off the water and shows someone turning a stop cock lmfao.

[tobleramone]

Me too. And that music!

[AMBASSODOR]

Thanks for posting, brings back great memories

[topmuff]

Anyone know the name of the soundtrack? Great vid. Thanks

[topmuff]

Does anyone know what the soundtrack to this? Great vid takes me way back. Thanks

[wolf2323]

cant believe ive finally found this...one of my earliest memories was watchin this between 'pipkins 'and 'animal kwackers'( look them up for a bit of 70s weirdness)..stayed with me since, great post

[ilovecloud26]

I think I'm terrifed of Nan now 0_0

[JstJuls47]

The British "public advertising films" are much better than what we had to endure here in the USA during the 60's!! The little boy's voice is adorable. :-) Maybe I would have stayed awake for these! LOL!

[crackersandhoney]

Where did you find these?! They're great! I wish someone would unearth the US versions.

[politirel]

I remember this PIF, wow, never seen it in years.

[alienfingers]

it's all a conspiracy

[BarryandKevin]

This is my favorite PIF,I remeber it so clearly! Nice one!

[weebillswobble]

Classic. This was always on Saturday mornings. I can almost quote it word for word even 30 years later.

[jeepmadrich]

I don't believe it, the park/subway scene was filmed in my home town! 70s info films rock! Ha ha.

[qgloscit]

where did this get filmed?

[Voxac100b]

Great music quite a long one for a Public info film and yes Nannys know best!!

[ShiitakeWarrior]

Why do I get the feeling that the kid was the ONLY smart one in that vid? =P

[nonk71]

PS, has anyone got the 'roadholding..fair' one from the same era?

[nonk71]

Thanks for posting this.

I still quote this today.

'My Dad! in our new car!'

[ColonelWalterKurtz]

I'd forgotten about this one, used to be on all the time in the 70's.

[geordie2boy]

jim

[kittygrrrl]
