The Sooty show

 The Sooty and Sweep show was a boyhood favourite and here's a few images from it.

Orginal puppeteer Harry Corbett who died in August 1989 being shown a tune Sooty has made for the Xylophone. He presented it from 1955 to 1975.

Sooty appears to be somewhat animated towards Sweep

Harry son, Matthew presented the Sooty show from 1976 to 1992.

Soo came in after criticism there was nothing and no representation for girls in the show and was later criticized for her domestic roles.

That is my childhood Sooty which lost his wand that I used to chant "Izzy Bizzy lets get busy" to perform magic with while my younger brother had a Sweep in grey
