About this deal

Sooty, a British icon and one of the most famous glove puppets in the world is celebrating his 75th anniversary. Life under the counter can be rather frenetic,” Sandford says. “I get covered in baked beans, flour, water…”

Celebrity fans include Bee Gee Barry Gibb, who took a Sooty mascot onstage at a Royal Variety Performance, while George Harrison summed up Sooty’s appeal to grown-ups in his foreword to Geoff Tibballs’ book, The Secret Life of Sooty: “Sooty symbolises the speed at which I wish the world was still turning.” The Telegraph values your comments but kindly requests all posts are on topic, constructive and respectful. Please review our It’s also all about the consistency too with Richard explaining that they ‘haven’t had to change it’, keeping the same jokes, even if his presentation style is ‘maybe a little faster’ than either Harry or Matthew’s was. In 2017, Sooty and Richard Cadell appeared on the BBC games show "Pointless Celebrities" where they read out a selection of questions on children's television, including "which member of the royal family did Sooty squirted in 1955 (Prince Philip). After this Sooty squirted the host, Alexander Armstrong with his water pistol. In 2021 "Sooty and The Trifle of Doom" was announced to be distributed by Kaleidoscope Film Distribution. [18] Merchandise [ edit ] Books [ edit ]On Tuesday April 9th, 2013, Sooty and Sweep and Soo appeared as the judging panel in one episode of "The Matt Lucas Awards" Season 2. It was written nearly 75 years ago and I do it word for word, and it still tears the audience apart. I love the fact that I know this material is 75 years old and is working in today’s audience. This is the unique thing with Sooty – he’s able to do what he’s always done in these modern times.’

He also points out that it would be unlikely to be commissioned now from a safety point of view – ‘but we get away with it on The Sooty Show because he’s done it for years’. Calico Joe, a fully clothed cat who smokes, always stands erect as a biped, and is the normal villain. Sooty and Sweep had appeared on a Rubber News sketch with Alastair Burnet on a Series 2 episode of Spitting Image. Sweep, also white not grey, who walks on all fours like a normal dog, but can stand as a biped to play the bugle and so on.It’s something that was inspired by Harry Corbett’s attitude, who is known as ‘Sooty’s dad’ as the original, whereas Matthew and then Richard are ‘Sooty’s friend’. My parents have passed away and, sadly I recently lost my brother. I have no children and have had health issues myself so feel it’s time Sooty found a home where he can be cherished and loved by someone who will appreciate him and his connection to one of the most famous children’s shows in TV history.” Sooty and Sweep meet Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall and comedian Omid Djalili at a Prince's Trust event in 2018 After Matthew retired, six stage shows toured the country. All starring Richard Cadell, three of them also featured Richard's Sooty Heights co-star, Liana Bridges, with the fourth starring Amanda Howard in Liana's place. After the expiry of the license at Brean, Cadells Limited announced in February 2022 to sign a new deal with Crealy Theme Park & Resort to open a Sooty-focused theme park area in May 2022.
