The little orange bear with the sooty ears and nose attached to the end of Harry Corbett's arm, has been a British TV tradition since its TV debut on BBC TV Talent Night in 1952. Sooty was every child's hero - able to misbehave with impunity, and torment the life of poor old Harry Corbett.
The mischievous little glove puppet delighted in squirting his master with a water pistol, or covering him in flour.
But Sooty was born in unlikely circumstances. The original puppet was bought by Harry (then a Bradford businessman with an engineering degree), at the end of Blackpool
