How many "Charley Says" British short public information films for children were made?
"Charley Says" is a series of six short cut-out animated cartoon public information films for children, made in 1973. They were produced by the British government's Central Office of Information and broadcast in the United Kingdom in the 1970s and 1980s.
Most of the topics dealt with everyday safety issues children face, such as not going off with strangers or not playing with matches. They featured a little boy called Tony (voiced by the seven-year-old son of one of the neighbours of producer Richard Taylor) and his cat, named Charley, voiced by Kenny Everett, who would "miaow" the lesson of the episode, which the boy would then translate and explain.
The films were produced by Richard Taylor Cartoons which also produced "Crystal Tipps and Alistair" and the "Protect and Survive" series.
The six films produced were: "Charley – Falling in the Water", "Charley – In The Kitchen", "Charley – Matches", "Charley – Mummy Should Know", "Charley's Tea Party" and "Charley – Strangers".
