        Overview

        Short, slightly blurry film of children celebrating a third birthday with tea round a dining table. Includes useful glimpses of some stylish mums and interesting 1970s interiors – note the period wallpaper in particular. Ends with the birthday cake in the shape of a number three, with candles that require a helping blow from mum.
