Sound an Alarm Films

The text to the article notes:

"Sound An Alarm", a title also used for a contemporary public information film

I may be mistaken but weren't there two films made for the UKWMO with this title? A film made in the mid-1960s and a much more sombre 1970s film that both showed the UKWMO operating under nuclear attack? Both seem to be on YouTube here and here but their bibliographic data may be incomplete. Gitfinger (talk) 11:00, 30 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

Absolutely correct, there were two films of the same name produced by the Home Office. 21stCenturyGreenstuff (talk) 21:15, 30 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

This article has the potential to far exceed B-class, but is held back by lack of references and in-line citations. Can somebody with access to these please add references and citations?Petebutt (talk) 17:37, 3 November 2010 (UTC)Reply
