    These Cholmondley-Warner parodies of old public information films are inspired. I was born in 1923 and remember the originals rather too well. Extrapolating into the future was farcical then. Let's us stop predicting the future and love the life that we still have. Mr Enfield, I am proud of you. You are a very talented man. Nurse get me more cake please.

      People take everything literally and assume the worst online as society becomes arguably more negative and fragmented. That joke is poking fun at the british person who holds the exaggerated mindset, and with the black face obviously at the standards at the time, where no black person would be likely to be hired for any public film. All it takes is one person to share it to a mass audience online (Twitter) for 'the world' to be outraged, resulting in mainly just US coverage, even if it goes right over their heads. This may also be the reason as to why this series above has not been shown or released fully again, whether on dvd,bluray or digitally.

      I have visited Cheddingfield-on-Sea. It's a bit like Skegness, very cold in the winter only with talller buildings, and for some unfathomable reason they've repainted all their taxis yellow. Burgers and cheesecake are better than in Skegness, but their tea is terrible. It's a rum old place!

    An informative and yet entertaining short documentary highlighting what could be in store, perhaps in 40... 45 years. I dare say, watching such material in the future, say, 40... 45 years, could well have one executed by firing squad for just lingering just a little too long whilst viewing a video of a lovely lady or gentleman partaking in lascivious activity on the internet. Yes, the monkey may well end up being spanked on a regular basis or a chap may well wish to send the weasel down the tunnel without worrying about any repercussions,... all because it`s 2022!

    "Despite being a parody I have to say that Enfield has recreated early television in Britain more successfully than any other recreation I have ever seen."
    Yes, I would have thought there would have been no advanced CGI filters to make it look old in 1990. They also made the Arthur Atkinson Clips look and sound old in The Fast Show. Clever people at the BBC.
    In the clip it's supposed to be made in 1940 and at that time nuclear power hadn't really been worked out, so it's a bit ahead of its time saying put another lump of plutonium on the fire but that's being picky. Maybe if they had said 1950 looking at 1990.
    Did he do Mr Cholmondeley-Warner in Harry and Paul?

    • @micheals1992

      Plutonium doesn't work like that though. you don't burn it, you release energy with a fission reaction. so obviously they didn't know how it worked and how you would release the energy, they did know that matter contained an insane amount of pure energy in the 1940s though because Einstein released his finding with the Theory of relativity in 1905 which is where the famous "E=MC2" equation comes from and Plutonium was discovered in 1940.
