Firework Girl | COI / BFI | 1975 

This is one of my favourite firework-related UK Public Information Films. It was often screened, when I was a child, during the Autumn half-term holiday. Typically bleak and overcast, Bangers (along with Chinese Crackers, Jumping Jacks, etc) were eventually banned in 1997 

Here are some more firework horrors that are equally blunt and brutal:

Fireworks: Blind Child
Fireworks: Bandage
