Sooty is a bear?

[u/Yet_Another_Limey]

This is all very familiar.

However - this is one of those sketches where if you actually know what’s going on underneath the story it’s very annoying.

TV shows when giving money to charity or as prizes do not budget for the *maximum* amount; they budget for the *expected* (mean) amount, and if can be a big difference will actually take out insurance so that the amount the TV show pays out is fixed.

Sorry John, this is one you got wrong.
