BREAKING NEWS - Sooty finally talks after 40 years and says -

'Squeak this Be-atch!'

they clearly couldn't cut it in the entertainment industry...

I'll get my coat!

No doubt after this Sweep will think he's looking slightly rough on seeing his reflection.

... But all he gets is bitter and a nasty little rash.

Sooty and Squeeze - a slash too far.

He never thought it would happen with him and that panda from Clapham.

He got a job with Matthew Corbett/He said he'd come in handy.

Ta. I'm sort of vaguely inspired to do more. If I can build a pair of wire armatures and find a ready supply of props and scripts.

"Sooty and Sweep in the abandoned swimming pool"
"Sotty and Sweep in the Interzone"

Etc.

This plush furry animal thing you've got going on lately has me mildly concerned ...

Sooty & Sweep are UK children's television icons.

I only own a pair of the puppets because sexbat challenged me to a duel at Whitby Abbey, but allowed me to choose the weapons.

So did you get a Sooty and Sweep each?

[hirez.livejournal.com]

That would have been overkill. (And there was only the pair in the 'Heartbeat' shop.)

If I'd any sense, I'd have crufted up an attache case with puppet-shaped cutouts. However, I don't. (Because if I did, I'd not have thought of glove puppets as duelling weapons.)

So who won the duel?

[wehmuth.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure about the overkill... while I think Sooty is probably a main weapon, Sweep seems more of an off-hand weapon, like a main-gauche, net or cloak.

I like the idea of men in flouncy shirts, meeting as the cold light of dawn slowly burns off the tendrils of mist; their seconds opening the weapons case to present them with a choice of hand puppets.

I fear I cannot say.

Sir is in full possession of correctness in regard to the facts of the matter.

(Although either Dave Allen or Spike Milligan would have done equal justice to the scene. Allen would have had far more of an air of buckled swash about him, Milligan and cohorts would have advanced toward the camera going "What are we going to do now? What are we going to do now?".)

Gentlemen's rules, I suspect.
