In addition the great burst pipe PIF (which someone else has said is on the Charlie Says DVD) the other great thing is the Country Code litter PIF which is also shown here is by all accounts lost and this is the first time that a copy of this has appeared on You Tube. Thanks Kal for uploading this rare gem!
UTV struggling to fill the ad-space big style there - ONE paid-for advert that isn't a slide in prime-time. Must have been when the economy was on its knees. That still at the end of the water leak PSA was the stuff of parody as well 😂 Fantastic upload.
@@cfntl2629 Errr, of course I'm aware that it's not a freeze-frame. The parody comment specifically refers to the movement - there have been many comedy skits down the years that poke fun at this old practice.
It's certainly on one of them. But, the 'Follow the County Code' PIF is a regular memory from childhood and I'm pretty certain I wouldn't have seen it in 40+ years. Helluva find!!!
Dog food, 78p, Washing Powder £1.47 and suits £207 according to Bank of England inflation calculator. Apparently spending £1 in 1974 was like spending £9.20 in 1974. On another point, I lived in the Anglia TV region in 1974 (aged 5, going on 6) and I don’t remember these very basic announcer adverts. Was that something that only happened in certain areas?
Yes, interesting freeze technique that. On command they all face front and stare. Trying to keep as still as possible. The boy on the left probably wins the gold star for dramatic effect.
"What a pity YOU let it happen in the first place! Now, go and pick up 100 pieces of litter and write a 500 word report on why you are always wrong. Have it on my desk tomorrow morning. As you were...DISMISS!"
I like the way the family look at us at the end of that film, like, “what, who, US?!” I feel there should have been an extra bit telling us how not to have leaky pipes.
