“During the Second World War, blackout regulations were imposed to make it harder for enemy aircraft to find their targets over Britain. This plunged parts of the country into darkness and made travelling by road especially dangerous. It was hoped that the resulting increase in road accidents could be curtailed, by encouraging road users to follow some of the featured safety precautions.” - BFI
Catching up with gossip inspecting new...Daily Round 1937
“Catching up with gossip, inspecting new ducklings, clambering over gates, walking across meadows - the life of a postman appears idyllic, but this Devon postie has some startling ideas about improving efficiency... The inimitable Richard Massingham, a doctor turned actor and filmmaker, co-directed this film, and appears in it as the testy Mr Proctor. This film was produced by John Grierson, often hailed as the father of British documentary. It was made for the General Post Office (GPO) Film Unit, one of the most remarkable creative institutions that Britain has produced. It provided a springboard for many of the best-known and critically acclaimed figures in the British Documentary Movement.” - BFI
