I'm just old enough to remember Harry with Sooty. Matthew was taking over when I watched. Love Sooty so much. Sweep especially.

Wonderful, I'm a fan of the Matthew and Sooty era but seeing where it all began is really interesting thanks for posting this :)

I had my own sooty & sweep puppets & i was the first cub "scout" to win the entertainers badge * years old < i really didn't fancy knots & first aid, so I was supposed to do 10 minutes & I ended up doing it for the last 60 years. I make all my own characters & I still haven't decided what to do when I grow up.

this is wonderful, as well as quite sad. Harry gave up Sooty to his son Matthew the following year; and a result, Matthew only accepted the role on the proviso that Harry never perform with Sooty again.

60 + year's and still no competition. Harry is still king.

Sweep still kills me, and you can hear the studio laughing when he makes an appearance. I'd love to know how Harry Corbett came up with sweep, how he found him etc and the voice.

KittyBox meows 100% spot on. He seems like hes going out of his way to be insulting about Harrys job. "Oh come on!.. I mean lets be serious here" - "Don't you get sick of it" - "It's been 25 years you've had your hand up that".. All his questions seemed to be attempting to poke Harry in some way to maybe losing his cool. We all know it's a puppet and we all know its Harry/Matthew moving it but theres somethings you just shouldn't ask or if you do put it with some tact and grace. It's like saying to a wrestler "It's all fake! Why do you do it?" or to Roger Moore "Well, you're not James bond! You're not seen as the best James Bond by many so how do you cope with that?" I must admit I was a HUGE fan of Matthew Corbetts Sooty era and this is pretty much the first time I've seen Harry and must say I can see where Matthew got his talent from. Both come across as loving, warm and friendly.

I know this is an old post but from what I've observed Harry is far more "real". He did grow to genuinely care for Sooty. Matthew by comparison was/is extremely talented but he's more about the business said of things. Getting the numbers up. Filling seats. He has also been stated to have a rather dry sense of humour and I have observed that a little myself. He can sound almost harsh himself but it's obvious it's not meant that way.

Yea, he’s an arsehole.

Why does Sweep always seem to sometimes when he’s not being spoke to or before he asks Matthew, Harry or Richard something, he’d break the fourth wall and wave and say hello to the camera or audience or whatever?
