Crown copyright, not a US Government work. Made 1975–76 by Richard Taylor Cartoons for the Central Office of Information and the Home Office; first shown publicly in 1980. 17 U.S.C. 105 covers only works of the United States Government, so Public Reel's registry rules do not clear this film. The Imperial War Museum reproduces the series as © Crown copyright under delegated authority. The Archive uploads carry an uploader's public-domain mark, which is a claim, not a licence. The atlas indexes it because the series is a landmark of government public information film; the video stays on the Archive.

6 beats in 6 sequences, cut automatically at shot boundaries scored on picture change, pauses in speech, topic shifts, on-screen text and cutting rhythm (each beat says why it starts where it does). Each is annotated by a vision-language model from four sampled frames and the transcript lines in it, as observations with evidence; anything the frames and lines do not support is left null. Machine annotation (Qwen/Qwen3-VL-235B-A22B-Instruct), checked automatically: quotes must be verbatim, names must be spoken, "visible" events are sampled to a second model. 6 of 6 beats annotated, 6 passed the checks, 0 flagged.
Passages cut at shot boundaries and annotated by a machine from four sampled frames and the transcript lines in them. Each beat says why it starts where it does and what was checked; sequences are visual groups, not scenes.
