The British Red Cross is promoting Red Cross Week 2012, which runs from 6 to 12 
May, using a mock 1950s black and white TV advert style, complete with a commentator
using received pronunciation.

“Dash it all — sometimes Joe or Jane Public can be a little unsure about how to 
get involved. Here’s some tip-top fundraising advice from the British Red Cross 
video archives that still rings true today.

“Red Cross Week 2012 runs 6-12 May so don’t dilly dally — visit our station on the
world wide web or drop us a telegram without delay.”

The advert was performed and narrated by Alex Ratcliffe, Natalie Ball and Phil Mulryne
of [Fitzrovia Radio](http://www.fitzroviaradio.co.uk).
