Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Matthew Corbett, creator and original Sooty handler, handed the bear to Richard Cadell in 1998 after 22 years—making this the longest-running puppet continuity in British TV history.
The Sooty franchise has survived since 1955 by refusing to modernize—no CGI, no celebrity voices, just a bear with a magic wand and unresolved chaos energy.
