Trivia

  • Scampi was first introduced in 1990.
  • Like Sooty, Scampi can only talk in a very light whisper which can only be heard when someone puts their ear up to his mouth.
  • When asked if he would be appearing in the upcoming new series, Richard Cadell said that he will no longer be a main character as he is currently at boarding school, but he will (like Butch) pop up from time to time. He is now living back with his parents.
  • He has a Scottish cousin called McScampi, as revealed in Things That Go McSqueak in the Night from Sooty's Amazing Adventures.
  • When HiT Entertainment took over the franchise, they wanted the stories to centre on Sooty, Sweep, Soo, Butch, and Miki so it was decided Scampi should take a back seat, having very few background roles.
  • According to the Sooty & Co. episode Sooty's Magic Solutions, Scampi suffers from ergophobia, the fear of work.
  • For a long time in his early years, Little Cousin Scampi was depicted with a plaster on his cheek. But In 2002/2003, he has been seen without it.
  • In the Sooty Show, Scampi was originally depicted with grit on his clothes and soot on his face, but ever since Sooty & Co. started these trademarks have been removed. His cap was also updated with a letter S on the front.
  • From 1990 to 2000, he was a main character in the Sooty series. Since 2001, he has become a minor character.
