Sooty documentary reveals 'girlfriend' row

The suggestion of including a female character in The Sooty Show caused a furore in the press and a row in the BBC in 1965, a new documentary reveals.

Here, Sooty creator Harry Corbett and his son and heir Matthew discuss the controversy, along with the programme's producer Trevor Hill.

The documentary, Sooty Ungloved, is receiving its world premiere in Guiseley, West Yorkshire, on Saturday 1 October.
