Overview
The Sooty franchise is focused upon the adventures of Sooty, a fictional glove puppet character created by magician and puppeteer Harry Corbett in the 1950s, alongside his other friends Sweep and Soo. Although fundamentally focused upon programmes for British children's television, Sooty also incorporates stage shows, both of which make use of a mixture of slapstick comedy, prop comedy – ranging from gunge, cream pies and water pistols – magic tricks, and music. All routines in both are primarily aimed at providing family-friendly entertainment suitable for young children. In addition, the franchise also include merchandising, ranging from annuals to toys. One such product that was sold was a toy musical instrument – referred to as a "xylophone", but in reality a toy glockenspiel – based upon the same instrument use by Sooty up until the 1980s

Richard takes Sooty, Sweep and Soo to the seaside. Once there, they enter a talent show, help out on Mo's doughnut stall and ride the roller coaster, whilst being chased by a security guard! In true Sooty style, nothing goes according to plan in this feature length special!
Having promised to find missing royalty, the King and Queen Teddies, and return them home to Blackpool in time for a very special Teddy Bear’s picnic, Sooty and the gang embark on a madcap journey across the country, coming face-to-face with none other than Sooty’s arch enemy, the Colossus of Crime along the way. Up to his usual tricks, Colossus has stolen a priceless diamond from a local museum… a diamond that inadvertently ends up in a tray of trifles that Sooty has collected for the famous picnic!
