Does anyone remember the public information film about hypothermia?

[Renard]

I remember a soldier stumbling about in the snow and being put in a sleeping bag with his mate to share body heat. I've searched and can find lots of other public information films which I had forgotten about but can't find this one. Can anyone else remember it or am I just imagining it?

Yes, we used to play 'hypothermia man' at school :0)

David Jason was in one of the filmes we were shown in training.

Well your life is your own but we're talking about things on the TV here ;0)

I remember a guy stagering about in the snow to "bing, bing , bing bing" music.

Apaches was quite a gruesome one. Surprised there were any kids left alive in rural areas in the 1970's.

Can remember watching one about the dangers of playing on train tracks - where the viewer is presented with the quadriplegic victim wrapped in a tartan blanket at the end of the film.

Still played near train tracks though!

I remember the one about giving bicycles the same space as a small car.

I remember it! I thought he was a pilot though - it looked (memory disclaimer) like an RAF flightsuit he had on.

I remember it, though looking here
http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/films/
it doesn't seem to be listed. Some of the others bring back memories.

I believe its called "Do not lie down and sleep"

Yeah, I remember the film you mean, it's so strange how it is impossible to find now. Similar to someone else here, we used to play it in school. As I recall, one of the first things the narrator says, was always how we started the game, acting as the RAF guy in the wet flight suit, i.e. "he looks like he's drunk, but..". I am pretty sure we varied the act, "he looks like he's drunk, because he is drunk..", or "he looks like he has hypothermia, but actually he's drunk".

Also similar to other comments here, I do remember the music was very distinctive, and actually, the sort of thing that today I suspect many who enjoy aphex twin or similar would appreciate. I have to disagree with someone else's ping ping ping though, (as donald trump too would probably describe it had he seen it), no, for me it was always much more of a dan, dandan dan, or dun, dundun dun, something like

You're not imagining it, I recall seeing it many times.
