not sure, but i like the fact i deliberatley misspelled Sue? and nobody corrected me. I know my childrens TV.

it is of course Soo!

I grew up very close to where Harry Corbett lived in the early years of Sooty. and we even had a "world of Sooty" museum dedicated to sooty about 3 miles ways. it was so rubbish it closed after a few years!

I am sure he was connected to another Harry. The Harry of fish and chip shop fame. " Ramsdens"

Thanks for the links to a piece of history, I think it was hughie Greens talent show in 1952 that harry made his appearance on the box, I saw that one, I was only 17 years old back then, and just bought my first car, a Standard Vangaurd.

I knew them well, the man next door had a red Jupiter, for their time they were a very good car, most of the Javelins I knew were always black, Did they make it in any other colour.
