The Sooty Show/Characters

The mischievous but lovable teddy bear who can't speak above a whisper and dabbles in magic, often with humourous results.

Deadpan Snarker: Manages to be this despite not audibly talking.
Former Even Worse Trouble-Maker: Although he's still a big trouble-maker, apparently he was even worse than Scampi when he was his age.
Fur Of Gold
Heterosexual Life Partners: With Sweep.
Inept Mage: Sometimes his magic goes awry.
Innocent Prodigy/Ping-Pong Naivete: He is shown to be very intelligent and quick-witted, but he can also be rather naive and dense.
Lovable Rogue
Naughty Is Good
No Mouth
Phrase Catcher: His magic words "Izzy Whizzy Let's Get Busy!" (It would be his Catch Phrase, were it not for the fact that he doesn't speak).
Puppy Love:(in-universe) With Soo.
Purely Aesthetic Glasses: He only wears his glasses for reading or when he's inventing something. The fact that they actually have no lenses and are just for show is lampshaded at least once.
Shrinking Violet: It was once suggested that he only whispers because he's shy.
Trademark Favourite Food: Honey.
The Voiceless
Wise Beyond Their Years

Sooty's best friend; an excitable and innocent, albeit somewhat dim-witted puppy dog who speaks in squeaks.

Accessory Wearing Puppet Animal: He tends to wear a collar.
Adorkable
Animal Jingoism: In Sooty & Co he claims not to like cats because he's a dog; this is dropped in Sooty when Miki, a puppet cat, is added to the cast.
Big Eater
Butt Monkey: He is quite frequently teased by the others, usually about his intelligence.
Cloudcuckoolander
The Ditz
- Genius Ditz: Although he's generally considered dim-witted, he has been shown to be able to build machines.
Heterosexual Life Partners: With Sooty, and later with Scampi.
Ho Yay: When Soo wanted to give him a Christmas kiss, he asked if Sooty could give him one instead, and threatened to run away when Soo said he can't because they're both boys.
Keet: He can be rather hyperactive when he's excited.
The Klutz
Large Ham
Literal-Minded
Motor Mouth
The One Who Wears Shoes: It's not often shown, but he wears Wellies.
Perpetual Frowner: The puppet is, but his personality isn't.
Strong Family Resemblance: He looks just like his parents and his Massive-Numbered Siblings.
Trademark Favourite Food: Bones and sausages.
The Unfavourite: Sometimes treated like this.
The Unintelligible: Sweep only talks in high-pitched squeaks, and has to be 'translated' by other characters. However, his squeaks are clearly synched to a written script, and some long-time viewers of the show can understand him even without translation.
Why Did It Have To Be The Dark?: In the Sooty & Co episode "Sooty's Magic Solutions".

A female panda and the most collected and sensible of the puppets. She is Sooty's girlfriend.

All Girls Like Ponies
Bratty Half-Pint: Quite often.
Closer to Earth
Every Girl Is Cuter With Hair Decs: Frequently wore bows at one point.
Flanderization: In Sooty she is much more of a Bratty Half-Pint, to the point of being an outright Jerkass Attention Whore.
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: For all of her tattling and snarky comments, she does show that she cares about the boys... sometimes.
Large Ham
Little Miss Snarker
Not So Above It All
Pandaing to the Audience
Parental Favoritism: Sometimes subject to this.
The Smurfette Principle
Stepford Smiler: Her puppet is always smiling, even when she's crying or angry; her personality isn't one though.

Toy Ship:(in-universe) With Sooty.
Tsundere: Type B.
Why Did It Have To Be Spiders? In the Sooty & Co episode "Sooty's Magic Solutions".

Sooty's young cousin who is even more mischievous than Sooty himself.

Nice Hat

Screwy Squirrel
Tagalong Kid
Token Wholesome: The only male puppet to wear an outfit.

Butt Monkey: They just love to pick on him!
The Chew Toy

Hollywood Pudgy
Hypocritical Humour
Large Ham
Mr. Vice Guy: Though whatever vice he displays is very likely to come back to bite him in some way, especially his ego.
"No Respect" Guy
Small Name, Big Ego: Prone to bouts of this; he usually learns his lesson, only to get Aesop Amnesia and brag about something else.
Team Dad
Why Did It Have To Be Birds?: In the Sooty & Co episode "Sooty's Magic Solutions".
