just saw this on the BBC site, thought people might be interested:

Quote:

In terms of simple but effective, Think Once, Think Twice, Think Bike is a classic.

This short public information film, screened in 1975, asked road users to be considerate toward motorcycles at junctions.

Presented by actor Edward Judd, it shows him punching his hand to inform people of the effect a car might have on a motorcycle. A move copied in playgrounds across the country for years afterwards.


STOP LOOK LISTEN
Stop Look Listen is the Magazine's festival of Public Information Films, with the National Archives and the COI

The film's classic status was confirmed when the satirical sketch show Not The Nine O'clock News did a parody of it, featuring Mel Smith, a cricket bat and various soft fruit.

I think that advert has more impact than the current one. NO PUN INTENDED BY "IMPACT"

That's a brilliant advert. I'd say better for back then when that would really shock audiences to see such violence in an advert. The way it is presented, you don't expect to see such graphic scenes in the crash, or at least, I didn't. I suppose that's what it takes to make people more aware. Although I nearly got pulled out on today, going round a white van.

It also made me think about the current advert, and how it is very similar to this one. Except this one has more comb overs and pork chops.
