Biography

In June 2008 (Sooty's 60th Anniversary), Richard, together with his brother David, reportedly paid close to £1 million for the global rights for the Sooty brand through their new company, Cadells Ltd.[2] As well as annually touring with live shows, Cadell is credited as the co-writer and executive producer of the Sooty television series which is currently transmitted daily on ITVBe.[3]

Cadell's involvement with Sooty began with a guest appearance on a Christmas episode of The Sooty Show in 1985; then, in the last series of Sooty & Co., he and Liana Bridges joined the cast as employees of the titular store.
