The primary instructional booklet under the same name was prepared in and released in May Domestic Nuclear Shelters , with techniques for building a home shelter, and Domestic Nuclear Shelters — Technical Guidance , for the design and construction of long-term and permanent shelters, some of which involved elaborate designs.

Protect and Survive was adapted for television as a series of twenty short public information films. These films were produced by Richard Taylor Cartoons, [21] who also produced the Charley Says child safety films and the Crystal Tipps and Alistair animated series, and were narrated by Patrick Allen. The films are similar in content to the booklets, detailing the same instructions using voice-over narration, sound effects, and a combination of simple stop-motion and illustrated animation. Each episode concluded with a distinctive and somewhat disturbing electronic musical phrase.
The series was considered classified material that was intended for transmission on all television channels only if the government determined that nuclear attack was likely within 72 hours, although recordings were leaked to organisations like CND and press organisations like the BBC , who broadcast it on Panorama as a discussion of public affairs, on 10 March , shortly after the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.

These differ slightly from the films in that the voice was provided not by Patrick Allen but by both male and female voices.
