The last film featuring Joe and Petunia. On a mountain drive, Petunia sees a notice board advising that "Worn Tyres Kill", and repeatedly asks Joe whether he has checked their tyres. He tries to evade the question, then says they're not worn, they're "a bit smooth". Petunia is relieved, but then he skids and crashes the car, in a moment of wonderful televisual technique as the cartoon image changes to a shot of a real car accident. A caption states "WORN TYRES KILL" as we hear faint voices repeating the words from the start of the film: "Nice view up here, Petunia." "Yes, very nice, Joe."
One of these Joe and Petunia films is still being shown on telly at the moment, it's the one about dangers at sea.
