The Sooty Show Sooty Hand Puppet

Product Information

Sooty appeared on Kellogg's "Puffa Sugar Stars" cereal in the 1960s, then on "Puffa Puffa Rice" cereal starting in 1973. Production on the new format of the television programme was aided by Connie Creighton, who had worked alongside Matthew's father and was given a co-star role on several episodes, [4] while following his mother's retirement from her role, the voice of Soo was cast to Brenda Longman; Sweep's handler was also replaced, with Brian Sanford replacing Matthew's brother. Episodes of the programme mostly were aimed at comedic value, but elements of education were included in some stories; a spin-off educational series generated for pre-school audiences, titled Learn With Sooty, was later released between 1989 and 1991. Although Matthew had dropped several characters from the show's old format, some returned in a guest capacity, while a new one was introduced in 1990 called Little Cousin Scampi – a character that Matthew devised as being part of Sooty's family, and who communicated in the same manner as Sooty. The yellow bear and his friends are celebrating seven decades in showbusiness this year and, in many ways, they are bigger than ever. The Sooty show, presented by Cadell, is still shown every day on ITVBe. The gang – Sooty, Sweep and the panda Soo – perform live up and down the country. And this summer sees the opening of Sooty Land, a multi-ride attraction at Crealy Theme Park in Exeter. As well as outdoor rides and various indoor activities, the venue will feature a museum full of sets and props from the TV series, including Sooty’s bedroom, bathroom and campervan. Whenever we do the TV show, we’ve never had a celebrity say no. Unfortunately, kids’ TV is very underfunded, so we offer very little in terms of fees, but it hasn’t put anyone off. They all want to be part of The Sooty Show.’
