Boat is probably a mosque now

Stil go past these locations every now and again

So glad I went to the bungalow tour!!

I'm an adult and I watched the show. It inadvertently made me famous when I was featured in the local Express and Star newspaper with my radio controlled decoy duck and ducklings at a canal show in Netherton. I got teased at work about it, but what the heck. R.I.P. John Cunliffe

Loved this growing up.

Tots tv and teletubbies were filmed in the same location

blisss rip john what a great creation a massive part of me and my sisters childhood

i live where this was filmed and never knew!

Rosie and Jim always holds a special place in my heart and I can’t believe I found the locations of the show . Also I love how the locsons look so calm and buttful just like the show

Debroah McCallum indeed left and had a son. After zzzap she ran a boutique clothing store which is no longer in business. In recent years she ran a very nice Airbnb and salon in Glasgow called Six Rooms. Not too sure what happened but as of 2019 she is no longer at the business. She briefly appeared in the daily record and scottish sun in 2020 as she had gone missing from the bishopbriggs cross area. She was safely found shortly after (her name is actually Deb Plott if you wish to see the article) hoping she is well and okay now as she was a big part of many a childhood in the 90's. Even for those of us who watched Take the high road too!

Growing up in the early 90s in Birmingham I remember this show very well I used to Adore Rosie and Jim I remember the ragdoll moored up next to the ICC I'm going to visit it as a the child

I loved Rosie and Jim.

Nice interview Jack, I didn’t realise Brenda had worked on T-Bag as you know made by Thames in Teddington, plus her funny stories and antidotes working on The Sooty Show for Thames and Sooty & Co for Granada

In the Series 2 episode ''Hats''' which canal near Birmingham does John lose his hat in? I would love to find that filming location. Also love the video, I hope you do a second one of Rosie and Jim filming locations. Because one of my favourite episodes from Series 1 which is ''Steam''' where John accidently runs the Ragdoll aground on some mud. A scene with a steam engine on the Seven Valley Railway is shown, but the river doesn't run alongside that part of the line only going under the bridge which the Ragdoll isn't seen doing so. Which means a bit of trick filming which is worth mentioning. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eIq8qI2QeJ6hpbM Ps here's the link to the ''Steam''' episode.

Could you get Richard Cadell on ? He owns the Sooty franchise now.

Remember watching Rosie&Jim as a kid myself 🤣 such nostalgia and very good! Big part of everyone's childhood in the 90s ❤

Live very close to the glass cone in wordsley. Mom never realised it was the same place as the show 😂

God some of these scared me so kuch as a kid such as the: Come outside fire episode Carlton logo at the beginning of every trip to the cinemas in the 2000's

At least Neil was more normal of playing a harmonica than Richard O’Brien.

My childhood thank you John Culiffe 🥹🥹

And john was still the best man for doing it when it was on i rember this very well

Good video, I didn’t realise how much of it was around Birmingham. I know one episode about a coracle was filmed in Bewdley Museum.

Rex's duck x

Thank you :) I really enjoyed your video. I grew up on the British Inland Waterways, living in canal boats from the early 70’s but we never ‘did’ Birmingham. Anyone know what happened to the Ragdoll? Anybody seen her? It’s unlikely her name will have changed as that’s one of the strongest sailor superstitions (I can’t remember the reasoning) to never change the name of a boat. She looks about 55 feet, lovely girl :)

John culiffe was my friends uncle. Such a nice bloke. He used to own a music shop. My mum bought a ukulele from him which i still own to this day.

How long is this series going to last?

Great to have the show back, I'm a very big fan of Sooty and Sweep (and Soo, as well), it's cool that you got Brenda Longman, especially being uploaded the day after my 21st birthday and 32 years after the original broadcast of "Happy Birthday, Sooty" too!

I loved the Ragdoll shop, being a Brummie myself, when we visited Stratford we always had to visit the shop. One of my favourite parts was the Rosie and Jim boat that you could sit in and watch episodes, me and my sister could have stayed there all day! This was really interesting, i might visit someone of the locations myself.

Great to see the podcast back, and video too! You're such a good interviewer Jack!

I remembered watching the Sooty Show and Sooty and Co on ITV back in the 90's when I was very young. I really do enjoying watching the show and I really do wished the whole series is finally released onto complete DVD collection at last since it's not on TV anymore.

Please do a video on Balamory considering that Balamory is getting a reboot in 2026.

Brilliant stuff, I enjoyed every minute of this episode.

This was awesome. My 3 year old now 5 used to watch the old episodes so knows the show very well. Still a show that can captivate today’s children. Thank you Brenda for being part of my childhood as well as my sons. I’m 34 for reference

Does anyone know where the original puppets are now?

Been to Victoria Bridge on Severn Valley Railway where John passed in episode called Steam.

Fantastic video jack thanks so much 👍😊🤩😎😁

About to jump on a 5 hour train to New York. Perfect timing!

I think you should do locations with Pat Huchins & Neil B too . Great video trip down Memory lane

Brenda Longman is not only a Great singer , She was great playing Mo from Market in Sooty & Co for 5 years between 1993 till 1998 other then Soo the Panda . i love all of the bits of Brenda Longman playing Mo from Market, I bet Brenda favourite song was There's no show business like show business . I bet Brenda loves singing that song . but thinks for uploading the interview with Brenda, Jack

Thank you so much for this! ❤

Wow. You're a lucky lad being able to chat with one of the most recognisable voices for Sooty (since he can't talk, himself) This should be a good listen!

Thanks so much for uploading this to KZbin Jack

Happy anniversary... my 3 kids absolutely loved it (and I did too!). A fantastic show...

Great video thank you for bringing back many local memories 👍

John was changed to Neal

Very good love Rosie and Jim

Excellent work! Such a well made behind the scenes video. Would love to see more like this.

The engine house down on Netheron canal had a steam engine in it, it is on display in America as far as I know, the area is where my Nan and Grandad used to live at and I remember walking along the canal when I was a kid.

I first seen this since when I was a kid. I don't remember much
