Episode (It's Raining Gin)

One episode of The Sooty Show, in the latter half of the 20th century, was a "very special edition" that involved a trip to the seaside with Iris Wildthyme, although it lacked pictures as, according to Dave — the producer of the series — was "too bloomin' expensive" for what Matthew Corbett wanted to do, seemingly having lost the money that he, Sooty, Sweep, and Soo had saved that year.
The events seen in the episode included: Matthew welcoming the children in the audience; the arrival of Iris and Panda at the bus stop, for Panda then to take Soo to a restaurant in Paris '62; their arrival at the seaside and the subsequent defeat of the clouds that began raining on all the holidaymakers with Iris, Sooty, and Sweep shooting them with gin pistols; a montage of Sooty and Sweep having fun, from paddling in the sea to riding a donkey to buying ice creams. After Soo and Panda returned as the sun was setting, Matthew ended the episode, asking the audience to wave goodbye. (PROSE: )
