Protect and Survive: Armageddon advice guide to be republished



Protect and survive : this booklet tells you how to make your home and your family as safe as possible

Should your pamphlet become vaporized, covered in radioactive dust or used to maintain personal hygiene standards, worry not because Richard Taylor’s 20 advisory films would be broadcast on the TV. Made in 1975 and leaked in 1980, the animations feature the reassuring tones of voiceover artist Patrick Allen. His advice would keep survivors alive. (In 1984, anyone listening to the 12-inch mix of Frankie Goes to Hollywood’s hit Two Tribes heard him state: "I am the last voice you will ever hear. Do not be alarmed.")




In print, Raymond Briggs’ graphic novel When the Wind Blows (later adapted as an animated film, radio and stage play) obliquely mentions various aspects of the Protect and Survive program, and the BBC play Threads featured three of the series’ films: Stay at Home, Action After Warnings and Casualties.



Ring the bells (ring the bells) that still can ring

That’s how the light gets in
