* PillowPregnancy: In the ''Sooty & Co.'' episode, "Soo's Babies", having spent the day talking about babies and seeing human and animal babies, Soo decies to play a trick on Matthew by pretending to be pregnant, stuffing toy pandas in her dress. At first, Matthew thinks she's just put on weight, but then Soo displays all the signs of being pregant and pretends she's giving birth to baby pandas.[[note]]The episode itself recieved complaints from parents and was listed in the #20 spot on E4's Top 20 "Most Controversial TV Programmes". On E4's show, Brenda Longman (who played Mo and voiced Soo in the show), said the idea came about because Matthew tended to write for his daughter, and based the episode on the time his daughter wandered into his room with a pillow up her jumper, saying she was going to have a baby.[[/note]]
