Trippier in the 70s: Charly

Speaking of British Public Information Films...

We never know his name, but his cat is called Charly. His mother's hair changes color every now and again, and he never really gets to have any actual fun with kids his own age. Or touch a teapot. Or go off with strange men to see their puppies. Shame that.

Years later, his cat is a codeword for cocaine, and Charly's advice will be heard, yet probably not followed, by tripped-out, loved-up, glowstick-waving ravers all over the planet. This is Charly's World, we just live in it.
