Called 'Magical Children's Favourites with Sooty' this release will more likely feature episodes from Year 49 of Sooty as they more likely want to go down the classic look instead of the last three years using the retro looking puppets (made to look like Harry Corbett's first version of Sooty, Sweep and Soo. With Scampi and Butch made in the retro style and Miki taken the look of Kipper the Cat even know Kipper was a male cat and Miki is a female cat for a 50 series type thing). This DVD will include magic theme episodes from Thomas & Friends, Barney The Dinosaur, Bob The Builder, Fireman Sam among others which won't be a bad thing. This makes a change from over 20 years ago when Children's Favourites VHS included Button Moon and Rainbow plus are much loved childhood hero Sooty.
Now what episodes will they choose from Sooty's 49th Year? My guess would be 'A Night Of A Thousand Bears' which would be highly likely to be added and possibly either 'Sc-fi Sooty' or 'It's A Dogs Life'.
Either way this is great that Sooty's new owners is working on new products like this DVD and it's important that Sooty fans young and old buy this DVD because if its a success it may lead to The Sooty Show or Sooty & Co season DVD box sets so support this release.
