Season 21 1983

Sooty decides to go fishing to see if he can do better than Matthew and catch the biggest fish. Sweep prefers to stay at home and play with his magic fish pond. By the end of the day, Matthew wishes he had stayed at home too.

Sooty, Sweep and Soo play hide-and-seek and hide in many strange places. Matthew is not amused when they hide his breakfast and he has to seek it out. When Sweep gets lost, Soo doesn't want to play anymore, but all ends happily.

Sooty and his friends make models and Matthew finds it hard to chew when he discovers his breakfast is not quite what it appears to be.

Sooty, Sweep and Soo decide to publish their own newspaper in competition with Matthew, who they decide to interview for an article in their new daily paper. Find out what the gang does to Matthew, which makes him wish he'd never heard of the paper, Soo's News.

Sooty decides that he wants to be tall.

Sweep sets to work on some amazing gadgets.

Pop music is not Matthew's cup of tea - he prefers classical. But he is not allowed to enjoy it in peace and quiet.

Concerned about Matthew putting on weight, Soo, Sweep and Sooty decide to do something about it. But the diet they put him on not only reduces his weight - it stops him eating. Then when Sooty puts Matthew into his youth machine things get out of hand.

Sooty, Sweep and Soo want to be nice to Alphonse when he pays a visit. But when they get blamed for his nasty habits they have to think of ways of dealing with him, and Matthew lends a hand. Matthew soon realises Alphonse is not so innocent and they decide to teach Alphonse a lesson!

Sooty puts on a magic show in his living room for some children. Similar to a 1981 episode, but in this one they load the Sootymobile with the magic tricks, but when they drive away they all fall out the back of the van. Sooty, Sweep and Soo are up early as they are preparing for the show, with Soo checking her mic, Sweep counting some coins and Sooty brushing a toy dog. Matthew shouts to them to hurry up and 'gets their skates on' which they take literally and decide to roller skate around the bathroom!

A rabbit called Snuffles comes to stay with Sooty, but he eats too much. Sooty, Sweep and Soo are up early and they are playing with their toy rabbits, while Sweep is playing with his bone. Matthew comes to see what they are up to and comments that they are like rabbits, with Soo agreeing and telling Matthew she wishes he'd let them have their own pet rabbit.

It's the last day of the school holidays and Sooty, Sweep and Soo get into a panic when Matthew discovers that they have not finished their homework or organized their uniforms. They also all need to practice the piano, so they play together.

One thing that Matthew likes above all is silence - which he rarely gets living with Sooty, Sweep and Soo. Driven mad by the noise in the house, he tries to find peace and quiet in the countryside. But, it turns out that the country isn't as quiet as he expected.
