Jim Bowen. In the sixth and final series, as Corbett prepared for his retirement, several episodes featured the appearance of Richard Cadell, Corbett's successor to the rights on Sooty, and Liana Bridges, Cadell's partner in the subsequent programme Sooty Heights, as junior shop staff, mainly to test how they would fare with young viewers after the programme's conclusion. Cast Matthew Corbett – The programme's presenter, who maintained many aspects of The Sooty Show in Sooty & Co, including the sitcom format, various gags, his role as narrator in scenes involving Sooty and/or the other puppets, and his on-screen character. Brenda Longman – The voice of Soo on the programme and Mo 'from market'. Prior to Sooty & Co, Longman never assumed a regular character when she was given the physical role as Mo in a number of episodes of The Sooty Show, until Corbett devised the new programme. Longman devised the character to be a con artist and constant source of misery for Corbett whenever she turned up, with a running gag being that she was never sold anything by him and always cost him money instead. Her catchphrase when entering the shop was 'Only me, Mo from market'. Connie Creighton - Series regular. Played auntie Connie.

As Corbett was set for retirement at the conclusion of the programme in 1998, Cadell was invited to take part in the programme in order to gauge the reaction of young viewers, and appeared in a number of episodes during the final series, though had no narrator role, as Corbett handled these.
