h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Ah, the old polished floor and rug error. . ."You might as well be setting a man trap". . .right, okaaaaay then

Remember the one with the water dripping through the ceiling? All the family rush around, turning off the water, turning off the electricity, getting buckets, phoning the plumber, etc. At the end, the Posh Narrator congratulates the family on their quick action, at which the family all look smug. Then he says; "So why did you let it happen in the first place?"
The best ones were a series of business films made by John Cleese's company. I know they weren't really Public Information films, but they were so good they deserve a mention.
I also think the driving ones should be remade, 'cos from the general standard of driving these days, people need to see them.

Right on, the Cleese training films are Classic material.
As for the inconsiderate drivers? Too late, get those Knife Missiles out!

Hot News! Latest Public Safety Campaign, headed by none other than the Angel of Mercy herself, Esther Rantsen, is the total ban of the chip pan! Seems all us naughty people have been caught out frying chips at home, AND IT MUST STOP!
The County Police are no doubt going to declare an amnesty, so we can all qeue up at the local nick, to hand in our chip pans without fear of prosecution ("I'll just make a note of your address, sir, simply on the grounds that we can come round and feel your collar if anyones reported for buying Mazola...") and Make Britain A Safer Place For Democracy!

Is this campaign sponsored by McCain Oven Chips, by any chance?

Could well be! Ms Rantsen demonstrated her dramatic skills by giving her Marie Antoinette impression, "Let them eat oven chips," and I'm not kidding about that, either.

I *!@*****!!!! Oven Chips!
Newsflash! Mary Whitehouse caught in possessin of Chip Pan at Laura Ashley party........

Wasting her time, they'll never get into Number Ten with a dead candidate, mind you, it's happened before. Can you imagine how they'd decorate the place?

More hot news! Large numbers of ex Warsaw Pact chip pans are being smuggled into the country, following the break up of the Soviet Bloc.
Many of these pans are in as new condition, as although there was a plentiful supply of potatoes, the U.S. Mazola Embargo meant there was nothing to fry them in. A Tokarov semi automatic chip pan can be obtained for only 100 pounds with 2lbs of King Edwards, a Kalashnikov Assualt pan with peeler and 25lbs of Ulster Chieftains can be bought for 250 pounds, and a Degtarov heavy machine pan with 500lbs of Maries Piper for just 450 pounds!

Umm,
Just seen how bad my spelling gets after a bottle of wine and half of whisky. Should have finished the whisky off......
