Sooty is a British children's slapstick television series that airs on CITV. It is the first new series to feature Sooty since the last series ended in 2004, and the first since Richard Cadell bought the rights to the brand in 2008.
The series sees Richard starting a new job as a 'Mr Fix-It' at Slater's family holiday park in a British coastal resort, with Sooty, Sweep and Soo always ready and willing to help him.
The series is filmed at Brean Leisure Park in Somerset.
The series pilot, The Big Day Out was released in 2009. It is about Richard taking Sooty, Sweep, and Soo to the seaside, but in true Sooty Show style - nothing goes to plan.
A movie based on the series is due to be released in the future. The logline is, "Soo has been kidnapped by an evil showbiz impresario who will pull every trick in the book to turn her into a global superstar and Sooty and Sweep need her back." Brenda Longman announced in a Q&A with fans, that it is in pre production, but she is not sure of a release date.
