> I remember explicit imagery of burns from fireworks and … a really nasty “educational” video about a kid who tried to rescue a frisbee from an electricity substation that then dies of electrocution.

JIMMY!!! It was called Play Safe [1].

I’m not British but these videos were parodied in How TV Ruined Your Life by Charlie Brooker (creator of Black Mirror) so now they hold a special place in my heart. Wish I had the nostalgia for them though, they seem wonderful!

Charlie Brooker is a genius. I guess most of his creatve energy is directed into Black Mirror these days.
