Just to Remind you THE DVD IS OUT NOW!!! I'm reminding all the Sooty
fans on this board to buy this DVD because you will support the
effort to get its new owners to put more money into the longest
running children's show, Sooty. And remember come back here and
discuss you views about the dvd release and what you think of the
episode if its the first time you've seen it and do you agree with
my review. And if this is the first Richard episode you have seen,
what do you think of him and remember that IF sooty returns down
under these will be the episodes shown and this one episode will
give you a preview of what to expect. Richard is here to stay so no
more "We want Matthew back" as apart from a possible cameo IT WON'T
HAPPEN

I'm sorry for all the special notices but i want people to start
discussions and actually post on this board because you are allowed
to do that. So PLEASE join in the discussion and have you brought
this DVD yet and what do you think. I've given suggests of what to
talk about in the above paragraph and please do comment on this DVD
buy replying to this messages.


For myself I waited for my local Tescos in Ballymoney to stack their
slehlfs and add this DVD that my site has countdown to for over a
month. It took about 20 minutes for them to get around to stacking
the DVD section but like i've said if i've waited this long then a
couple of more minutes wouldn't harm me one bit. When I got ahold of
a copy at long last i couldn't believe it... A Brand New Sooty DVD.
the fact that it was Children's Favourites and included Fireman Sam,
Bob the Builder and Barney, i still can't believe a DVD has come out.

I watch the episode about four times and it really has put me in the
mood for more Sooty DVD's to come out. If its more episodes from
these retro puppets Years or what we all want season sets of The
Sooty Show or Sooty & Co. And like i've said buy this DVD to help
the this happen because it will help and like i've said please
comment on this dvd by replying to this message.

I am glad they chose 'Sooty's Magic Garden' from Year 50 to be in
this collection. Maybe because its the only episode that feature
alot of magic throughout the show or that it got an 8 out of 10 from
myself and as they do look at this message board they chose to put
this episode on DVD because of this reason i don't know but i hope
its the latter.

so how is it doing in the shops. [copy and paste links]
