Let’s take a closer look.
Nailed it. The layout, the style of heading, the gossipy focus. We suspect The Sooty Show has never had so much interest from anyone over the age of eight, but it’s certainly well deserved.

I’ve just been writing about the kind of body horror these sorts of magazines inspired in me as a child / pre-teen — and tbh I think the world would have been a much better place if I’d read Sweep’s versions instead. https://t.co/H9K1dSnTXv
