Looking at it, it seems very similar actually - but I have to say, Sooty's seems more condensed AND has more laughs.
As topical sketches go, I also prefer Sooty's, but I don't agree that they are that similar.

They have the same premise of bringing in a buffoon to help a flagging investigation aimed at finding a missing person.
Quote: bushbaby @ March 12, 2008, 11:52 PMI just can't find anything funny about a missing child, I would be suicidal if it was mine and totally distraught/insulted if there were sketches/humour about it
But the joke is not about the child, it is about two police forces inability to find the children in question....

... which was what I tried to say originally to head this off - unfortunately it didn't work!
Also, James, the sketches are different in my eyes: one is about inept police investigations; the other is about a paranoid Mr Al Fayed. The targets are totally different.

Never mind Badge, you tried... people will always bring their own prejudices to whatever they read...

Just like anything else, I think you just have to keep churning 'em out.
