The Sooty Show

What do you mean, he's just a puppet? Never has a small piece of yellow fur been imbued with so much rumbustious personality and the potential to create so much havoc! Sooty (with the help of his friends Soo & Sweep) holds the record for being the longest running kids' programme ever, first appearing on TV in 1952. 'Richard Cadell is a born entertainer' (The Guardian) 'A real treat for the children and a dose of nostalgia for the parents' (The Stage) 'Richard Cadell is as close to a Corbett as you will ever get - Sooty is on the right hands!' (Matthew Corbett).
