Wow - this brings hell of a lot back! Charley and his fish eating cat... blast from the past

And the "moral" ending to all those cartoons! How do kids manage to live without the life-guiding snippets offered by He-Man?

Back on track...

It is a bit bizarre that these types of things have been pulled, especially as the UK is nanny central. It would certainly offer the Government etc a medium of information that I would have thought they'd lap up.

The adverts I do see appear to be targetted at the older age group - turning out your Christmas lights, putting out your fags etc.

I wonder if there's a correlation between the increase of crime/anti-social behaviour and the reduction of such "moral" guidance previously embedded in our psyche at a young age

Indeed it does seem strange that during the 80's we were bombarded with well being info and now kids get nothing from cartoons etc.

Again like you say I would have thought that the UK govt would have lapped it all up, but hey maybe it's the cost ???

Something you may find interesting: National Archives

We must have grown up with a decade of repeats - most of the ones I remember were made between 1964 & 1979, and yet I grew up in the 80's... Seems that cost was on their mind even back then

P.S. I'd forgotten all about Tufty and the Ice Cream van!
