That's the reason that I enjoy the old Sooty, despite my age - neither of the presenters were condescending. When the new fellow came along, he seemed alright, but the woman that did it with him (I know that someone here will turn that into innuendo) seemed to be very patronizing. And the writers fucked it up, too. Actually, because it's something I remember, and therefore care about quite a bit, I took some time to have a look at Mr. Cadell's website, and have found out through an interactive messageboard in which the children can talk to the characters (the gullible children, anyway) that he now owns the franchise, and intends to uphold the traditional values of the show. I have a feeling that he's talking about Harry's son's era though (what was his name? Matthew or something?), which is when I started to grow out of it. I learnt all of this from Sweep, by the way.
