He used to talk quite normally until the day Corbett Snr's hand first went where it shouldn't have. Now all he can do is whisper into a police victim support officer's ear. It's all very sad, really. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Parkinsons?) that would be problematic with covid, but I can't find what it was from a cursory Google glance. He battled leukemia - but parted from Sooty 23 years ago. Long story after that as Sooty fell into the hands of an investment company who then sold out the interests to the people who managed a range of British child-friendly brands - like Thomas the Tank Engine. The Sooty company was asset stripped to the point their own rehearsal studios were sold off and Sooty and his pals went into a bigger stable which then lost a ton of cash on a Thomas Tank movie, eventually opening the way to an employee buy-out that put Sooty's business (literally) back in the hand that was also up his arse - presenter Richard Cadell, who bears a passing resemblance to Matthew Corbett. The high profile days, however, might take some reclaiming - the current (postponed) tour dates include the vast urban conurbations of Orsett and Selsey.
