'Sooty's Amazing Adventures' was a short-lived animated spin off series of the popular puppet show Sooty.
In this incarnation of the famous bear, he is a full bodied bear; free from the puppeteer's hand. The show centered on Sooty and the Gang living in a run-down old theatre, located in an unnamed coastal seaside town. The main stage of the theatre, features a trapdoor where the Gang embark on various adventures and also through (and back in) time.
The gang live in an old run down theatre in an unknown/unnamed English coastal town. The four embark on their adventures through a trapdoor located on the theatre's main stage which would take them to various places and times. However more often than not the trapdoor fails to send them to their desired location.
Sooty A quiet and smart bear who is the undisputed leader of the gang. Sooty being a mute finds communication difficult but often gets what he is trying to say across to the rest of the cast. He wears a pair of bright red overalls with 2 yellow buttons and usually saves his friends with his trusty magic wand which he is only permitted to use once per adventure.
Sweep Now being able to speak with a rather groany voice rather than the 'squeak' he is so well known for. Sweep is not the brainiest of the bunch and often thinks of nothing else than food which often involves 'sausages'. A rather cowardly canine he never usually hangs around when danger is near. He is voiced by Rob Rackstraw. He is a Dog with a red nose. He wears a green and blue dungarees, green Underpants and a red collar.
Soo A female panda with an attitude who does not stand for any of the mischief the other two usually get themselves into. Soo could be seen as the sensible one who whips the others into some kind of organisation. She wears a blue dress with yellow flower on it and White Underpants. She is voiced by Susie Blake.
Little Cousin Scampi The smallest and youngest of the gang, and Sooty's little cousin too. If mischief has been aroused it is most probably this little bear who has orchestrated it. Appears in a schoolboy outfit. He is voiced by Jimmy Hibbert.
Apart from the many friends the gang make on their adventures, the only recurring character in the series, is a well spoken aged Persian cat named 'Catarina' whose seldom stands for nonsense and often criticises the gang for their conduct.
