I actually read they are bringing back The Green Cross Code man for today's children, mainly because a lot of them don't actually know how to cross the road nowadays. Mainly because they have their head bent down to their mobile phone..
Indeed ;-)
Do we still have lollipop ladies outside schools and whatnot?
I just tried to series link this on the +1 channel and my box popped up recommending i may like "the pedophile living next door" as it is "similar", does this have jimmy Saville in it?

Hopefully. You can't do 'offensive' 70's without JS surely, there's his hair for starters!
I'm enjoying the programme simply because I like seeing the sitcoms again. It's rubbish to try to pretend today's audiences would be shocked by programmes like Are You Being Served or It Ain't Half Hot Mum. I watched some episodes of AYBS a few years ago with friends in their 20s who loved it. Good comedy is good comedy and the 70s had some great sitcoms.
As for the films trying to stop kids doing stupidly dangerous things, if they worked then fine. Better a scared kid than a dead one.

In some places they are still there, but they are few and far between now.
That's sexist, they are called Loliipop people now a days.
They're called School Crossing Patrols actually - my dad was one.
Round here there are just as many as there used to be, I can't think of any locations where one has been taken away. In fact one has been added.
