Be Wise, Don't Drink and Drive


Ernie tells Eric to 'be wise' and not drive home after their Christmas party

47 seconds of pure comedy genius, this recently rediscovered Morecambe and Wise public information film, one of the earliest drink-drive campaign films, hasn't be seen by the public for over 50 years. The original 35mm film was found in a box of 1960s cigarette advertisements recovered from Ulster Television, who were in the process of moving to new premises in Belfast.

Public information film warning against drink driving, performed by Morecambe and Wise. Tagline: "Be Wise - Don't Drive If You've Been Drinking".
