Charley Says: Teapot

Charley Says: Teapot


Charley's cat-astrophic teatime hijinks leave him with a burning message to share

As if strangers, matches, and rivers weren't dangerous enough, now teapots are out to get you. Crafting a safety message for children young enough to need reminding not to pull tablecloths is a tricky business. The technique of using Charley as a surrogate for the child being hurt himself was apparently popular with psychiatrists employed by the Home Office.

Animated public information filler. A boy and his cat Charley are playing around the house. Charley gets very interested by the food on the table and pulls the tablecloth, causing the hot water from the teapot to spill all over him. He tells the boy, who tells the audience what he has learnt.
