Joe and Petunia: Coastguard

The message of this coastguard film was to raise awareness that HM Coastguard had become a ‘999’ service enabling the public to raise the alarm as it does for other emergency services. It was made in 1968 and, highly unusually for an animation short, remade and re-released in 2006.
