‘This might be the best thing I’ve ever seen’
We’re grateful to Jason Hazeley for sharing this clip from the Sooty Show in which Sweep’s extended family paid him a visit.
Jason thinks it might be the best thing he’s ever seen, and he’s not the only one, it turns out.
The episode where Sweep's extended family paid him a visit is simply glorious. pic.twitter.com/VLbe9daAXY

That's not even his extended family! That's his immediate family! And I LOVE how his parents are from the 19th century.

Why *is* Sweep so funny? Some bizarre and unquantifiable collision of abstract shape, sound and movement.

Remembering the one when Sweep fell through the loft and his little legs were wiggling away. My brother and I cried with laughter. Such great memories.

I feel sorry for Sue.. She was the only one who could speak that wasn't a human, and had to put up with utter nonsense every day.

And Sweep's mother is sporting hand drawn specs.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: The Sooty And Sweep biopic starring Simon Pegg as Matthew. Think about it.
