Two defective DVDs in a row!
I would love to see this DVD! I ordered it and other Sooty DVDs. The others were perfect, but this one wouldn't play. I went through the returns procedure and asked for a replacement. Amazon sent me a new one with exactly the same fault! They had not even checked it! Now it will have to be a refund. I'll try Play.com.

Where is Harry Corbett's Sooty?
Anything where Sweep is seen and heard is worth 5 stars.
I do wish the BBC would release the vintage 60s Sooty series with Harry Corbett.
His son Mathew is very good,but I much prefer to see the more chaotic frantic politcaly in-correct early stuff from his dad.
I remember Soo had a very croaky voice in those days!
Would be good to see all 50s and 60s children/variety shows released on DVD,or give us a channel on tv that caters for such golden classics.

Sooty: Sweep Superdog
Great Video reminds me of a lot of memories.

The best parts out of all the Sooty Programmes on this VHS/DVD were Superdog,Bouncers when Matthew tricked Sweep that Runner Beans make you bounce and Spring Greens make you spring which were very funny. Also Hot Stuff whenever Sweep saw a fire Poor Matthew got drenched.

I liked the remixed theme tunes for the opening and closing titles which were used in the final "Sooty Show" series in 1992 before it became "Sooty and Co" in 1993.

Out of Sooty's gang Sweep is the funniest out of all of them.

Superdog to the rescue!
I bought this DVD because I love Sweep, and anyone reading this review must have some affection for the little grey dog, or they wouldn't be here.
The DVD is relatively cheap, and contains 6 episodes focusing on Sweep. All of the episodes are taken from The Sooty Show, and having viewed the end credits of each of the episodes, the dates range from 1988 - 1992. You'll find that in a couple of the episodes, the Sweep puppet (puppet I hear you say?) looks a bit rubbisher than in the newer episodes.

Anyway, most of the episodes on here are great. The only bad ones in my opinion are Superdog And The Comedian and Sweep's Family. Unfortunately, there are no proper extras on the DVD, but at this price, you can't argue.

A fantastic tribute to one of the biggest TV heros ever.
I was always a huge fan of the Sooty Show and in particular Sweep. "Sweep Superdog" is fantastic. Watching these episodes, you realise that Sweep always got a raw deal from his peers (in particular Sue.) This DVD chronicles the strugles he must endure and overcome (such as excessive springiness) in his daily life. And the episode about his family simply brought a tear to my eye. All in all this DVD is a well deserved monument to one of the most memeorable childhood heroes of all time. A classic.
