Matthew Corbett (born 28 March 1948, born Peter Graham Corbett) is an English television personality, writer and puppeteer, best known for presenting ''The Sooty Show'' and later ''Sooty and Co''. He is the son of Sooty's creator, Harry Corbett. He took over Sooty from his father in 1976, and retired in 1998. ==Biography== Corbett was born in Guiseley, West Riding of Yorkshire. In the late 1960s, he had to choose another stage name, as there was already another Peter Corbett registered at drama school. He kept his surname, and chose the name of Matthew; for television purposes he has always remained as Matthew Corbett. He appeared in the 1971 ''Doctor Who'' serial ''The Dæmons'' as a character called Jones and was a regular performer in the Thames Television children's show ''Rainbow'', where he sang and performed and wrote with Rod Burton and Jane Tucker as Rod, Matt and Jane, later better known as Rod, Jane and Freddy. In 1976 Corbett left ''Rainbow'' to take over ''The Sooty Show'' from his father, Harry Corbett, on his retirement (he made a special guest appearance on Rainbow with Sooty in the episode "The VIP"). Matthew Corbett himself retired in 1998 after 22 years, and hand picked Richard Cadell to replace him. Corbett appears in ''This Is Your Life'', ''Telly Addicts'', and ''Light Lunch'', 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Matthew Corbett」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
