A Big Hand for Sooty - ITVs 1998 Documentary for Sootys 50th Anniversary

Sooty is a glove puppet television, stage, comic book and film character, who is a small yellow male bear with black ears and nose who likes to perform magic tricks and play practical jokes. Although mute to the audience, he is said to be able to communicate by 'whispering' in the ear of his handler. He was created by the puppeteer, magician and pianist Harry Corbett in 1948. Sooty debuted on local television in 1952, and the children's television shows that bear his name have continued in various forms since 1955 and, according to Guinness World Records, is the longest-running continuing children's programme in the UK.
