OK, a late one here....I've just been reminded of it from reading about Public Information Films.
A couple of years ago before I moved away from home, I pretty much spent all weekend, every weekend, shut in my mate Carl's room smoking joint after joint and generally hanging out.
One of the (few) things that sticks out in my mind is that there would be Public Information Films shown about seemingly random things, such as ladder safety or why you shouldn't beep your horn when driving past horses on the road. Now as slightly random as that is, what made this stuff stick out for me is that these were shown exclusively at around the 2 a.m. mark. 2a.m.??? Really???
Surely anyone who could have found this useful was most likely in bed or off their face somewhere in a club.
Having said that, they did have a sort of strange allure to them that always made me sit up and watch. Maybe they were hypnotising me, maybe it was just that I'd been smoking for the previous six hours or so. Either way, I will always remember what the sound of a stressed out horse is like because of them.
