Play Safe with the Tweenies was a series of 27 shorts[1] about being safe around certain situations (like railways and/or sheds). These shorts aired on the British children's channel CBeebies between 2003 and 2008. Only one short has come to light, as of now.[2] The shorts are also known as the 'Tweenies Safety Shorts'.[3]
