Welcome!

Do you change the channel when you see yet another government - sponsored reminder to send in your tax return before the deadline OR ELSE? Do you have fond memories of "Coughs and Sneezes Spread Diseases", Charley Says and Tufty the Squirrel? Or are you just a fan of classic British television? If so, this is the blog for you. I'll be updating with facts and trivia about Public Information Films (or PIFs), with a profile of a classic or recent PIF each week. So read, learn and reminisce, or don't. The government's anti - drink - driving campaign has been ongoing for more than 25 years, and people still do it.

Disclaimer: Despite the screen name, I am not actually the character of Reginald Molehusband (who appeared in a 1960s PIF about safe parking) or Ian Gardiner, the actor who played him and recently stepped forward after the film was classified as missing. It is, of course, an alias so that people who know me will not log onto this website and find out how sad I really am. Sorry about that.
