Sooty and Co. S3E5 (1995) - FULL EPISODE

Treasure Hunt. Matthew orders a mass tidying operation as he can't find a single teaspoon in the whole place, but something he does come across is a mysterious cassette tape with directions to something recorded on it, and "X marks the spot". Is this his ticket to untold riches? This episode was originally broadcast on Monday, 2nd October, 1995, so the primary target audience for this upload is those born in the 80s or very early 90s. All are welcome, though. The guest star as the forgetful customer in this one is Larry Dann, veteran of several Carry On films, a sergeant in the early years of The Bill, and listed amongst the "Notable former pupils" of the Corona Stage School on Wikipedia (a page which still doesn't even mention the Pink Windmill Kids, either individually or collectively). I have to confess that for a brief moment I though it was The Anorak from CBBC. Actually, though, the character of Mr Dwayne was so successful that he would return in later years, but I'm not sure about the whole cream cake thing. It's funny enough in execution, but why did they do it? I think I'm missing something, because it comes across as rather ill-natured. Either way, good episode, the Cousin Scampi side plot got a laugh out of me for its pure daftness, and nice use of simple special effects on the magic wand bit. Sooty is never not fun.
