Sooty hasn't been on TV for a while. But you probably hadn't noticed because a) you're not a child and b) Sooty is the rubbishest children's character ever.
But despite being so rubbish and boring that it'd be more fun to watch a TV show about a static eggcup full of gravel from Norfolk, Sooty is back! Puppeteer Richard Cadell has just bought the rights to Sooty from Hit Entertainment for close to a million pounds.
Now comes the real problem – Cadell needs to try and work out how to update Sooty and make him relevant for today's sophisticated youth. Though, just to clear things up, Sooty's Real Life Pub Car Park Knife Fights was our idea first. Don't be copying us, Cadell.
