Public Information Films from the 1960's & 70's
Public Information Films from the 1960's & 70's have been uploaded onto the National Archives website.
Amongst others, Look out for the 'Charlie Says' public information films, Jon Pertwee's "Splink", Road Safety film, 'Clunk Clink' with Jimmy Saville, & my favourite - 'Lonely Water'.
Dark and Lonely Water
The last bit sounds like Sutekh!

Donald Pleasence was good at that sort of thing, very menacing.
It's nice to see these getting an airing.

The one with the kite and the pylons was ever so scary back in the day.

Oh yes I never played under a pylon after seeing them. Although as I mostly grew up in a new town with underground cabling there weren't actually any pylons close by. That's beside the point though.

If you haven't got it, I thoroughly recommend the double disc "Charley Says" DVD.
The 'Lonely Water' one is creepy!
As for Sir James of Saville, I love that advert. It's almost as good as 'The Age of the Train'.

Tut tut! It's packed with goodies, such as Patrick Troughton talking about smog and the Black Guardian telling you to keep your distance... and then there's an old b/w film with a real Police Box

I remember the 'water' one and the pylon/frisbee one that Si mentions. Maybe kids were tougher in the 70s, or maybe adults were just less caring, but I remember watching those lots of times and actually being very scared by them (in a good way, I suppose, in that I never chucked my frisbee near a pylon). I don't think they'd do that sort of thing nowadays.
I also seem to recall one we watched at school about the danger of farmyards.

Here's a PBS one from the US, that apparently no one and their brother paid attention to.

It doesn't seem to be sadly, as I'd have loved to have seen it after all these years.
"RIP Henchman No.24."
