Man, i was just thinking about that yesterday - god knows why! I think i saw it mid 80's. Someone was killed death by combine harvester - another was drowned in some sheep dip - i think another drank something poisonous. That's all i remember. It was strangely very good and has always stuck in my mind.
Anyone know where to download it?
Yes, I remember it, particularly as I lived on a farm ( though it was a pig farm, so we didn't have a Combine Harvester ).
There is two volumes of DVD of these Public Information Films ( under the title of "Charlie Says..." on the Network DVD label ), but I'm not sure if the farm one is on them.
I also remember one about parking cars on the pavement ( or rather, not parking on the pavement ), with all sorts of people ( including a woman and her push-chair ) trying to squeeze between the car and a brick wall.
Didn't one child get reversed over by a tractor, and another had a gate land on him or something? I vaguely remember being shown it in Primary School, along with another similar film about playing on building sites which I swear to God I remember a child losing their leg in - Was that one by the same director / company too?
