Crazy Chaos with Sooty and his Pals

Over 100 minutes

**Roll up, roll up! The party is about to begin!**

Everybody's favourite little yellow bear is back in business and causing madness and mayhem. Join him and his little friends Sweep, Soo, Little Cousin Scampi and head of the household, Matthew Corbett, in 5 fun-filled episodes of party magic.

## Episodes

1. **Happy Birthday, Sooty** - It's a very special birthday for Sooty. He is a magic bear who is only 5 years old but he has been around for 50 years, and he has been on TV every year for all that time.
2. **Back to Front** - Today everything is Back to front and also upside down. It's a very funny day for Sooty, Sweep, Soo, Scampi and Matthew.
3. **Soo's Party Problem** - Poor Soo is going to a party but the rest of the gang are a little bit jealous and are not very helpful to her when she tries to get ready. She still manages to overcome the obstacles they put in her way and she triumphs when she brings home Ray Alan and Lord Charles after they take her to the party.
4. **Sweep's Family** - Sweep has a mother, father, brothers, sisters, grandad, grandma, uncles, aunts, cousins and nephews, and they all have mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, grandads and grandmas, and Sweep has invited them all to his party.
5. **Bored Games** - Sweep, Sweep and Soo are quickly bored by the games they are playing. Matthew is very annoyed with them and insists they should enjoy themselves, so he takes Sooty to a bowling green to show off and have fun. Sooty soon finds out Matthew isn't a good sport and has a big head!
