Elderly Pedestrians
Broadcast
1971
They call him John. Every Thursday, like clockwork, he stands there, aiming to navigate the perilous sea of tarmac to claim his pension – probably to fund his biscuit addiction. But does John see the same road as you, with its Ford Transits, Mini Clubmans and impatient horn-tooters? Does he hear the revving engines or just dreams of a cuppa at the other side? If you’re behind the wheel, for heaven’s sake, don’t be a muppet – help the chap out! This public information film is narrated by Joss Ackland. The actor is Eric Francis.
