Entertainment 1990s kids tv sooty
Somebody’s unearthed an episode of ‘Sooty and Co’ where they go nightclubbing and it’s an absolute treat
For many of us, the hand-puppets Sooty and Sweep (not forgetting Soo the panda) were a big part of our childhoods, which isn’t really surprising considering that they have been getting into scrapes on TV since 1955!
We admit that we missed the episode that this following clip is taken from. It was first aired on Sooty & Co in 1996 and we’d kind of outgrown children’s TV by then. Turns out we were missing out!
Here’s a wonderful clip of Matthew Corbett and his furry friends going nightclubbing in Spain, soundtracked by some banging acid house music. It’s as bizarre and hilarious as you’d expect.
Thanks to archivetvmusings for sharing on Twitter.

That felt like some weird dream brought on by too much cheese! It has to be one of the weirdest episodes of Sooty & Co!

When my daughters described this episode… I actually banished Smarties from them and put the blame on the blue ones like many parents…. Feel ashamed on finding out it was real!
