Be Safe with the Tweenies is a series of shorts based on the popular CBeebies series The Tweenies made to educate its target audience on being safe around certain situations as the title suggests.[1] Also known as the Tweenies Safety Shorts.[2], these shorts aired on the British children's channel CBeebies between 2003 and 2008, and had little to no media coverage on its content despite the programme's popularity.

Initially, this show was considered to be lost media. However, following years of uncovering particular episodes through BBC Redux, all but one of the episodes have been uncovered, with the only unavailable short being to do with knives.

Overview

The clip as featured in the opening sequence for the series.

Episode 16, "Knives", is the only short that is considered to be lost, and the premise of which is only explained through a brief clip within the show's intro. This clip featured Jake seemingly attempting to make a jam sandwich while holding a breadknife, bearing very little information on what the short would be about apart from safety around knife usage. Then, When it was uploaded later on, it was revealed that Jake, is seemingly not attempting to make a jam sandwich, but rather picked up a knife to make it look like a sword to mess around with it after they did a play about King Arthur.

According to Milo Jennings, who rediscovered the episodes and archived them, "Knives" was banned by the BBC because of its usage of which. Further information also proves that the episode did, in fact, not air again for the recent episode guide on the BBC website[3]. For the schedule where the programme would be airing at the time, "Knives" appeared to only have aired on 26th September 2005 at 08:50 on the BBC Two channel[4]. In January 2023, galaxyvault2 uploaded a song on YouTube and says that his friend founded it, but he says that he couldn't share the full short at anytime.


It wasn't until May 2023, When Galaxyvault2 felt so guilty after months of keeping it and he decided that this lost media deserves to be preserved. So as a big milestone for the lost media community, He decided to upload the full lost short on YouTube and then later on, it was uploaded by British YTPer, Zackzilla and says in the description "Special thanks to the legendary galaxyvault2 for finding the missing piece of the puzzle. It's been so many years since it got lost for some reason. I am so proud of him so much."
