Electrical Safety First (2014)

Having been voted the UK's favourite series of public information films earlier in the previous decade, Charley Says was revived in 2014 with an advert reminding viewers to not overload sockets.

Summary
This film uses the same animation style as the original six films from 1973. Dominic wants breakfast, so goes off to find a socket to plug in a toaster. He finds a three socket extension which is already being used or a washing machine and a tumble dryer. He goes to plug in the toaster in the remaining socket but Charley stops him and burns his paw in the process. Tony's Mum realised Charley was right to stop Dominic from plugging in the toaster and is rewarded with a fish. Charley says, in his incomprehensible feline language (which Dominic translates) that it is dangerous to overload sockets with powerful appliances. The advert ends with another reminder, with a contemporary voiceover. Charley says at the end (translated by the narrator) to pass this message on.

Purpose
Every year, 350,000 people injure their selves through the everyday use of electricity. The advert was created by the charity Electrical Safety First to remind people of the dangers of overloading sockets.
