Sooty - The Cadell Years

Following on from last week's Sooty - The Corbett Years, this week we are continuing to explore the turbulent yet magical history of the UK's longest-running kids TV show.Stefon voice: This episode has everything! Boy magicians, theme-parks, expensive IP purchases, the destruction of VHS tapes, extensive audition prep, meddling producers, vanishing motorcycles, and Joe Pasquale.For the first 40-odd years of Sooty, check out our last episode.A lot of information on this episode was gleaned from a FASCINATING interview with Richard Cadell himself on the wonderful podcast Jack's Throwback Attack. It is well worth a listen if you are a Sooty fan, and it can be found right here https://jacksthrowbackattack.blogspot.com/Finally, we have spent a lot of time with Sooty and his numerous outings over the past month, having not watched a single episode between us as children. This is because it was so highly requested, and we are so glad you all pushed us to cover it. We've had a fantastic time studying this joyous British institution, so thank you!Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/ThotsTVEmail us at Thotstv2002@gmail.comInstagram - http://bit.ly/th0tsTVTikTok - https://bit.ly/thotstvtiktokDiscord - https://discord.gg/e6prv4aYSubscribe - https://shows.acast.com/thots-tvAEG Presents Thots TV Live!
