Season 27 1988

Matthew has had an uncomfortable night's sleep, having slept on the living room floor because he is having his bedroom done up by Connie. Things get worse when a bag of rubbish falls on him, waking him up.

Sooty and Sweep play a game of skittles, but they wake up Soo. Soo isn't happy about them playing ball games inside the house so she goes and tells Matthew, but he is playing ball games as well. Matthew decides to confiscate all the balls. Matthew talks about bowling being his favourite ball game. Soo isn't impressed and goes to complain to Matthew. When Soo arrives in Matthew's bedroom, Matthew is explaining how he loves ball games, while Soo is moaning about Sooty and Sweep. Matthew is playing with a ball and tennis racket, which leaves Soo even more annoyed that he hasn't listened to her.

Sooty and Matthew are busy putting together a personal planner, which includes a list for Matthew of what he's going to do during the day and when to do it. Matthew suggests that Sooty should follow his example, which results in both Sooty and Soo both making lists.

Sooty, Sweep and Soo would like to go skating, so they ask Matthew and he says not today, but another day. Soo says that when people say that it means never.

Sooty hears Matthew talking on the telephone to the doctor about expecting a baby. Saying it'll be nice to hear the patter of tiny feet around the house, when Sooty arrives which makes Sooty very confused and shocked causing him to faint.

Matthew says that the house is old and worn out, after which he presents a huge list of problems that need sorting out. Sooty, Sweep and Soo are all in good moods, with Soo saying she's happy because she realises how lucky they are to have such a beautiful and comfortable bedroom, and that they live in a lovely home. However Matthew doesn't feel the same as he feels he is having too many problems around the house, which include door knobs falling off!

Matthew is messing about with bed sheets in his bedroom, pretending to be a ghost after reading a book of ghost stories, called Spooky Stories! Sooty and Soo have borrowed the book and are enjoying reading the scary stories when Sweep interrupts them. Soo is convinced that Sooty is afraid of ghosts, but he claims he's shaking from being cold...while she states that as ghosts do not exist she isn't frightened.

Matthew, Sooty, Sweep and Soo have just returned from a holiday from Australia and they become obsessed with anything Australian.

Underneath that unintelligent exterior lies a super hero and who is prepared to answer any cries for help. Sweep awakes hearing that someone needs his help as Superdog!, but unfortunately Sweep has lost his Superdog outfit, until he finds it in the linen basket! Superdog arrives to help a very odd looking 'lady', but crash lands in some rubbish. The 'lady' tells Superdog she was screaming as the milkman had delivered the wrong milk!

Sooty uses his magic wand to turn a toy cat in to a real cat and then turns Matthew into a lion, a monkey and a bear. When Sweep needs to write a essay for school entitled 'Something that happened to me that was interesting', he finds it quite difficult, because nothing happens that is interesting or exciting to him.

Sooty decides to invent something. He invents an automatic opener (if you point this at something and press a button it opens it- e.g. a door). He lets Matthew have a try at it and Matthew sends Sweep through the roof! That gives Sweep a idea to invent something. Sooty makes some more inventions such as a lift, but it throws Sweep on the roof!

Matthew wins some money and is looking at brochures to see which boat he should buy. He asks Sooty, Sweep and Soo and they all have different ideas. Matthew comes back with his new boat and Sooty, Sweep and Soo want to see it, they discover Matthew was talking about a model boat and not a real boat.

Sooty, Sweep and Soo are in their bedroom and are discussing the Royals. Sooty then tells Sweep and Soo he's met the Queen, but Sweep and Soo don't believe him so they and find Matthew to tell him about the lie Sooty has told.

Sooty, Sweep and Soo have a splendid time at Christmas with a party for their friends and lots of lovely presents.
