- "The Uninvited Guest" made in 1972 as a staff training film for the long defunct Strand Hotels group and featuring the voice of Patrick "Protect & Survive" Allen.
Covers fire prevention, use of fire alarms and extinguishers and like a lot of training films from this era is far better than today's bland productions
Yeah MR Patrick Allen !!!!! The one and only UK's VOICE warns and protect us once again
Gr8 vintage clip

Just watch FAWLTY TOWERS for a lesson in what NOT to do in the event of a hotel fire...
Lol I saw. NO. Do not follow that. Exactly.
8:41 - 8:43 Is it bad that I laughed a bit when Patrick Allen broke the 4th wall so to speak (especially with the look on her face)? 😂
Asbestos Blanket wow that's highly illegal these days!!!
Well, that's useful, a fire extinguisher stowed away in an unmarked cupboard..
Nice old Gent of Leicester 1102 call points in that building!
I love the fact you can identfty them, could you please tell me what sort of fire alarm call points they used in the 1960s or very early 70s
@@GreatGizmo74 It’s difficult to know what sort of stuff was used in the 60s and 70s due to pretty much all of it being replaced by now. Also, there wasn’t really many alarms about however a good example of a call point of that age is the Gent Tangent P193 call points. They may have been even older then that too. There was also call points made by Carters of Burnley, GEC, AFA and other manufacturers.
@@alarmmuseum Woah, that's cool info thanks. I love anything retro and anything from 1945 to about the early 90s. I have always wanted a 1970s vintage fire alarm system, what equipment would you recommend?
13:11 - 13:19 *"Unlike a piece of equipment, people are not switched on automatically... well, not in the way *we** *mean."*
😂
Isn't that Patrick Allen? I recognise that voice from TUGS! Kinda fitting, really, as there's a TUGS episode dedicated to the dangers of fire, 'Munitions.'
+Alistair Brazier Yes indeed it was Patrick "Protect & Survive" Allen. Patrick along with Douglas Cameron did a lot of corporate video v/o work at the time.
When smoke detectors were required at hotels in The UK so far
1972 saw Hotels & Boarding Houses come under modern UK fire safety legislation, although the guidance to AHJ issuing fire certificates still allowed for fire alarms with only manual call points until the 80's

Is that the Wolverine at 22:25?
wow they had a proper reroa fire alarm nice old chloride gent
WAIT, is that Patrick Allen narrating this? From, among other things, the Protect and Survive shorts, and TUGS TV series?
Yes, he did quite a bit of voice over work at the time, he crops up on all sorts of things!
16:08 talk about taking your time lol
Wow no smoke detectors
Not a requirement back then, just like sprinklers aren't in most premises even today here. Hotels were not subject to fire safety legislation until 1972 and even then a manual system (call points no detectors) would have been accepted in many cases - only as the decade passed through to the 80's did it become widespread and even then not to hotels certified without detection unless subject to alterations.
Just like in MGM Grand. Things gets wrong.
Asbestos blankets wtf
Still very common then (you still found some in service in the 1990's!) although glass fibre blankets were becoming more common.
Fire Wizard my parents had a retirement home and we’ve had and still have a fire blanket from the .80s I think . It’s made of glass fiber and it says it’s reusable we’ve never had to use it , but I’ve never knew or came across a reusable fire blanket before until I noticed what it said , I’m use to once you’ve used a fire blanket you dispose of it and replace it I wonder what’s in the blanket to make it reusable
@@j.w2000 fire blankets are disposable, even though modern ones are more durable than the original glass fibre ones, although back in the 70's and 80's some manufacturers were happy to include washing instructions to allow a blanket to be reused - not advised today!
Jesus, check out that bird @10:25....talk about I don't fancy yours much !
