This was earlier than 1985. I remember seeing this when I was about 4-5 in 1982-1983. When I was about 6 I got lost and was asked for a lift by a stranger and thanks to this advert I said no. Probably saved my life.
I remember this as well. I thought that it was the early 80s also. The kind of cars being driven can often provide a visual clue.
1981 this was made
I remember them showing this advert at our old Primary School as well.
This message should never be out of date
Her friend knew something was terribly wrong based on how that man made a left turn.
That's fucking hilarious 😂
why has tv stopped doing these adds ,,, kids learn more from them ,,i had a close call at 10 years old a man in a princess car asked if i wanted a lift home ,i said No -because of Charlie says dont talk to strangers ad campaign i said to the man NO and thankyou , That was in Hull in the 70s and that add campaign was on the TV at the time that is one of the memories i will never forget ,and i am 50 now , kids today are in far more danger than back then
Utterly agree. 2 men tried to snatch me when I was 11 in 1979. I saw them get out a van, one grabbed my arm, I twisted and ran like hell the 2 streets home. Adverts like that had made me wary. Sad but essential.
Same thing happened to my brother and me in about 1971. Our near misses happened a long time ago. Kids today are in far more danger? You really think so? Kids today are nearly bullet-proof against the lure of strangers, and I seriously doubt they are more likely to be approached today than when we were all kids. Hell, when I was 4, I used to walk to the store by myself on errands for my mom - about 4 blocks away. She gave me money and a list for the man at the store, and he put the change in the bag. When my brother and I were both 6, we were too old for babysitters. Little kids are FAR more closely guarded these days. When we were kids, those were the dangerous times we learned our lessons from so kids today can be in far LESS danger. (When was the last time you saw a kid on a bike without a helmet? I think I was still in my 20s. They learned from us!)
@@beenaplumber8379 far more susceptible to online predators these days
@@troywright359 That's because in *those days,* there was no such thing as "online" anything. We had no internet. We visited and chatted with people we met. Easier to grab kids that way too.
@@richardhadfield8033 that is terrifying, mate. I had one situation when I was 4 or 5 which wasn't exactly like this but if my mother hadn't managed to close the door when this guy was trying to get in...I mean it doesn't bear thinking about, life could have been completely different
I remember the one they did in the early 90's. Think it was quite similar to this but I vividly remember the little girl saying to the man trying to give her a lift "no thank you, my mum says I'm not allowed" & then a voice-over says the words "say no, don't go" at the end.
no its a boy named terry and the guy said hey terry do you want a lift no my mum doesnt let me
These flims at school used 2 freak me out in the 70s
This is the exact clip I watched in primary school I’m 47 now.
Good ads to remember and it's not only kids in danger,someone tried to pick me up walking late at night in my 20's
I love after it shows her getting in the car and him driving off, it ends showing a random plane flying - like he's just an international sex trafficker. The guy drives a Ford Cortina lol
Aston Martin of its day mate,don't knock it
OMG 😃😳🤪😱🤫🙃
Still having nightmares about this
With a wire coat hanger for an aerial 🤣
Probably been flown off to join Maddie
Paul Scholes before he landed his gig at Manchester United.
This is all we had before CCTV!
😂😂
At 1.45 he’s the fuckin image of him
The man later went on to play Kevin's dad in 'Harry Enfield and chums'.
Then he was laurels dad in emmerdale
That’s not Stephen Moore?!
@@Louloubee Duncan Preston. Stephen Moore also played him. And James Fleet in the film.
😲😃👍
Matey in the car was in ‘Acorn Antiques’ 😂 surprised he ever worked again😆
British TV, last refuge for nonces.
Kevin the teenagers dad
@@matthewmoloney2336 yeah think there was 2 actors who played the dad
I was wondering where I had seen him before.
And 'Dinnerladies'.
I remember having a coat hanger for a radio aerial on my mini back in the day 😂😂
I remember this being shown in primary school.
I remember this one but I have a memory of the mother arriving just as they're driving off and she's either running down the path after her daughter or shouting for her. Does anyone else remember this?
That sounds right. I don't think the plane part is part of the advert.
I seem to remember the ending being a scene of the aftermath, with the girl being talked to by the police. Her arm was covered in bruises, implying that she had been assaulted.
Apart from the ending, a pretty good ad. Subtle & menacing.
I remember this well . Being shown in my primary
Id say i saw this in primary school at about 8 or 9 years...one morning whilst walking to next village to school with my younger brother...A man stopped wanted to give us a lift..he tried to get us in his car, i pulled my brother away..he sped off..traumatic, teachers realised something was not right, so i told & poilce were there like a shot, they never found out who it was trying to snatch us !!
"Would you like a sweet? My dad was a dessert rat"
😂😂
The actor driving the car was in the movie A Clockwork Orange. He was a bad guy there too….he was the prisoner blowing kisses at Alex.
Wow a blast from the past this information
I remember this quite well. Duncan Preston makes a great bad guy, as evidenced in an episode of The Professionals.
I would definitely take food and get in the car with that man in the blue car. He offered a ride home, some candy and was polite and nice, what worry do I have? Not like I’m gonna say no to a guy like him.
Don't be so stupid
I forgot in juniors school we had carrier bags for school bags😅
I knew he was a baddun as soon as I saw the coathanger aerial
Probably a replacement for the original aerial snapped off by some savvy kid who knew exactly what he was up to.
I love the coat hanger ariel lol.....think we all had a go at that.
He's got one of those new fangled coat hanger ariels.
The coat hanger in lieu of an ariel...oh my how technology has changed.
Is the scramble arcade game clip supposed to be in there??? It seem out of place.
I wondered about that too. I think a lot of nonces hung around arcades trying to pick kids up so maybe its a reference to that. I'm more confused about the plane at the end though. Did they go on holiday?
Is that Duncan Preston in the car talking to the school girl
Yes! It is!
@@tombstoneharrystudios584its not.
I remember when the police 🚔showed this in our school.
Imagine that actor - C.V. I played a nonce on a PIF
Yeah, that's what I thought. How desperate for work he must have been!
@@davidgoulden5956 Maybe he did it to save kids from being abducted. Didn't harm his career.
@@davidjames579 Unlikely - but (I grant you) possible.
She might have got a free holiday abroad? :oO I'd get in a 1970s Cortina for that!
Always say no to Duncan Preston !
I’ll never see Surgical Spirit or Dinnerladies quite the same again! These public information films were good but by focusing on ‘stranger danger’ they overlooked the most common type of child abuse, that committed by family members and family friends.
Imagine making a 5 min film for that. Parents of the time would have been up in arms at the suggestion.
Never trust a guy with a coat hanger for an antenna.
Well, I’d never have thought Duncan Preston was a pervert!
Where's the rest?
Rated R
I knew he was dodgy as soon as I see his coat hanger ariel.
But his car didn't suddenly turn flashy red with ominous trumpets, though.
What might've happened is the car turned into a plane.
😂😂😂
''Prick tease!" (1:47)
😂😂😂
Fucking funny
Is there an up to date version with this message. What type of person would be the perpetrator today ? Would they avoid showing the type most likely to commit this crime if it's politically sensitive ?🤔
Did is 1984 or 1974
to me it looks 'between' 1974 and 1984 ?
Dunno what this had to do with Thames News
I'll be back ack ack ack 😅
Duncan Preston. Surprised he ever worked again after this behaviour. 😂
Most stranger danger footage shows the strangers trying to entice children into their cars. I wonder how modern children would see this as so many are carried by car these days rather than walking? Especially as there are probably families who can't afford cars, and a naive child might see a ride in one as a treat. Don't!!
Sure I recognise the girl
Alison Bettles from Grange Hill I'm thinking...
@@Andy-wx4wxNo its not her
What’s the implication? She’d end up on a flight somewhere?
Now they tell the kids to go along with starngers. Can't discriminate, you know. its not the pervert's fault.
Russell Brand's dad?
This is Kevin the moody teenagers dad and the guy who scammed Fred in Corrie
Now kids would probably say 'fuck off paedo.' Thankfully kids are more aware now. Back then a little naivety would have led to them being a victim.
"Aware" of... what??
A few years ago, I stopped to ask two girls directions, as I was trying to find a hospital a friend was staying at.
You should've seen the look on one of the girls' faces...looked like she was actively THINKING of this advert.
Divisive and extremely corrosive.
Destructive propaganda.
Why didn't schools have the kids wait in the yard or the school, and have teachers on the gate? Problem solved.
Uk, countries, placed london, englands,
1985: "No fanks i be'ah not"...... 2024: "Wot do you want from me boss?"
These days they are on the internet....
What might have happened...erm...what do you think
WHAT ABOUT A BETTER SLOGAN FOR THAT AD, SAY NO TO A PAEDO? 🧏♂️
