Radio advertisment transcript

A transcript of the radio commercial for the Power to Protect campaign.

SFX: Crying baby. (young – 8 weeks)

Our Dad Joseph in his deep, slightly out of tune, voice gently sings:

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are,
Up above the world
so high,
Like a diamond in the sky…

SFX: Crying quietens.

Male Voice Over: Are you strong enough…

Joseph softly whispers:

…Twinkle, twinkle, little star.
Ok, goodnight little one.

Male Voice Over: …to never, ever shake a baby? You have the power to protect.
So be strong enough to count to ten – or for more help, call 0800 300 026
