Now as Series 51 gets started off to a proper time slot and everyone
knows its on lets all here comment about Series 51. And in the six
episodes we have seen they are the best since Sooty & Co.
I put this message as a 'special notice' because we all should be
discussing and what was the point in joining a discussion board if
you're not going to discuss. We like to hear what people think of
these episodes and remember that the show makers visit this board
and like before will expect your comments and improve the series and
with our views we've help Sooty become the best he's been since
Sooty & Co. It's got a better time-slot (3.55pm every Tuesday) the
first time its had that slot for ages. It does shows CITV's belief
Sooty is one of the jewels in their crown of shows.
When you have watch this episode come back here and share your
comments with us and agree or disagree about our review of this
episode. Below is a review of 'Sooty's Baby' when it was first shown
back in July/August 2003.

SOOTY'S BABY
(first aired 24/07/03? - actual date 06/01/04)
Rating: 7 out of 10

It's April Fools Day at Hotel Sooty and the duo of Sooty and Sweep
are playing tricks on Richard because of the special day (they pull
tricks on Richard everyday but today is extra special).

Richard who has been the blunt of all their jokes every year decides
not to be caught out by the pair this time and hides Sooty's wand.

Sooty finally catch Richard out and then decides to magic Richard
back in time to find where Richard has hidden the wands. Meanwhile
Butch distracts Sooty and Sweep while Sooty is sending Richard
backwards. When Butch has his fun for now and when Sooty returns to
Richard he has travel back to when he was a baby.

The whole gang search the hotel to find the wands to turn Richard
back. They rather find the wand than hear Richard crying or having to
change his nappy. Meanwhile Butch carries on with mischief and
setting up custard pies to splatter Sooty and Sweep and one pie also
gets him in the process.

Eventually they find the wands and magic Richard back - and then let
Butch get them with one of his pies.

I say it again; they really have learnt their lesson after the boring
serious stuff of Series 49. Sooty's Baby is another well-written
story carrying the old tradition of mayhem and balance everything
needed for a good Sooty story.

In its original airing of CITV hardy anyone know about this episode
or that Series 51 has started and likely miss this episode believing
it to be repeats of the Golden Jubilee year of Series 50. Full marks
cannot be given for Sooty's Baby for this reason as we know its great
but hardy a lot of people know and only know about this episode by
reading this review and I hope this is helpful
