This is an honest to god British public service film Titled Lonely Water, from 1973 that was dug up from who-knows-where by whom other than Kindertrauma’s Unckle Lancifer
What do you think was going through the minds of the creators of this very strange movie?

I’m betting it was a public service announcement. If that was the case, I can think of much better things to make people aware of. Whatever turns their cranks I guess.
Hey Heather - thanks for stopping by!
Maybe there where a lot of kid drowning in the early 70’s -
Kinda strange though…
Howdy Miss Rachel,
I suspect it was produced in response to a lot of drownings that were taking place during that period in England. They have a lot of isolated bodies of water, that would appear very tempting to many, especially kids I would think.
It struck me as being aimed more at kids than at adults, so I think they decided to do it in a way that might grab and keep their attention much better than someone simply voicing over in a manner they took to be more like “preaching” at them.
Btw maam, I really enjoyed your review on Miss Heather’s site, and my thanks to her for providing your site link. I look forward to reading your thoughs and posting more comments down the road.
Hey Jed! Thanks for stopping by and commenting, and thanks for calling my Miss Rachel - it makes me feel like a young southern girl of yesteryear ;-)
