Archive footage from the 1960s of three young chimpanzees at the zoo chimps tea party within a large cage enclosure, surrounded by audience of visitors as the keeper feeds chimps salad and apples.

Cindy was the star of the tea parties and now the oldest chimpanzee at the Budongo enclosure in the zoo today, she is the last surviving tea party chimp. Keeper, Sophie Pearson explains why Cindy is special and why only young chimps were ever used in tea parties because the older chimps are too volatile and hard to handle.
