Time Shift - Pay Attention Britain! - Public Information Films - BBC4 - 2006 PIF Documentary

To mark the 60th anniversary of the Central Office of Information, Fi Glover narrates the story of the British public information film. With films that range from the bizarre to the hilarious to the downright terrifying, the COI has tried to inform and shape the nation’s behaviour. But as society has changed, so too has the way the government talks to us. This programme traces the increasingly sophisticated output of the COI through some of its most memorable films. With Fi Glover, Martin Moore, Andrew Collins, Brian Winston and Peter York, 80’s expert.
