Hayfever sufferers: this one’s for you…

Check out this borderline surreal public information film from the British Government in 1945 which offers advice on how to sneeze like a gentleman.

The film’s entitled Journeymen, it’s going to be shot on Canvey Island, it stars Doctor Who alumnus Katy Manning, and it needs some funding! Click HERE for more info.
