Paddington Bear - Please look after this bear

[@Jude300c]

I just realized something. The narration and the animation are what make this show so marvelous. You can really feel the heart.

Wind in the Willows wouldn't have been quite the same without Michael Hordern as Badger either

[@energybengt]

I feel so as well. I still miss the time when children's programmes were for the Child inside us all, and were respectful of our humanity's playfulness. Sir Michael Hordern who narrates Michael Bond's books so lovingly here also played Gandalf in the BBC radio play of The Lord Of The Rings. A classically trained stage actor from the National Theatre tradition in Britain, he also played Badger in the Cosgrove production of Wind In The Willows. :)

[@spinballpac-man]

That was him? Nice! 🤩

[@jenniferschillig3768]

Good Lord, Sir Michael Hordern was talented. He portrayed everyone from an earnest little bear, to a Hungarian shopkeeper, to a bad-tempered neighbor, to a Cockney cabdriver...just amazing! Sir Michael was once quoted as saying that he got more recognition for the Paddington shorts than he ever did for his Shakespearean work...and liked that just fine. (And don't you just love the fact that everyone is just so matter-of-fact about a three-and-a-half-foot-tall talking bear? "Bears is sixpence extra," as if it were a normal occurrence.)

[@raymondsolisjr.1262]

I love how Paddington is a stop motion and the rest are card board cut outs

This is so very nostalgic I love the bit when he starts tucking in and then starts making a mess 🍰😂👍

[@Aurochhunter]

It must be at least 27 years since I last watched an episode Paddington.

[@sarasen8147]

saw this on tv in the 70s too- my favourite line was "sticky bears is ninepence." :-)

[@stickmanstudios4609]

Man, listening to this 11 years after I last saw it really hits me in the feels! I relate to this bear more than anyone could imagine!

[@clarea1801]

I used to have a Paddington Bear when I was about 2 and I would always wear his red wellies myself

[@hughmackay5200]

Charming and original.

[@jenniferschillig3768]

Showed this to my friend Alan some time ago. His response: "This is SO British."

[@loiso-a7036]

I watched that when I was young.👶🏾👶🏾

[@battybuddy]

I always loved how Mr Brown is just trying to wrap his brain around suddenly having Paddington around all through this episode.

[@jimbo6059]

BBC commissioned by filmfair 1970s great short story before going out to play. Great narration, along with the likes of the Wombles

[@newfie2keith]

I used to watch this on TVO back the 70's, early 80's. Still remember the grumpy neighbours voice, "Bear! What are you doing bear?!"

[@christopherdrennan5819]

The grumpy neighbour was Mr Curry.

[@GingerGilligan]

I remember my mom reading the Paddington Bear books to me when I was little. My brother had the whole set. They never showed the cartoon in the U.S., but I did see some of it when I was in England in 1988. I thought it was done in a weird way. Paddington himself was a stop-and-go action figure while the rest was drawn. It's also read by just one man instead of different people doing the voices.

[@onesongforme]

I had this on VHS when I was a kid!! Love this!

[@MondoBeno]

I lived in England in the early 80's. I loved the show. Especially the one where Paddington is on the train and says "they were running out of fish so the chef had to step on it" and the passengers all scream at the chef.

[@jemmybloocher5803]

Revisiting this has made me very happy indeed. A coronavirus antidote.

[@JohnnyBeane]

Used to watch this on Nickelodeon in the early 80's.

[@MinesAGuinness]

I came here straight after watching a video clip of refugees from Syria arriving in Munich railway station. I had to see Paddington and recall how I came to know that helping refugees is intrinsically the right thing to do. Thank you Paddington, Mr Gruber, and the Browns. Even Mr Curry! I owe you all!

[@Claire-tn4xp]

Never missed an episode

[@RagaWolf88]

He's an immigrant! This is why Paddington is such a British idol! ❤️

[@EditorOfSL]

That’s why his best friend is Mr Gruber, he’s also an immigrant. Plus they both like antiques, hot cocoa and buns.

[@kevibo75]

If u didn't have a paddington bear when u visit London.. U got a hole in your heart

[@EditorOfSL]

In some parts of the U.K., Paddington Bears are harder to get hold of, certainly in the nineties.

[@CharlieHuang]

"Bears is 6d extra; sticky bears is 9d..." lol!

[@DamiensTrainsandTravels]

RIP Michael Bond!

[@harrypell2603]

The names Bond Michael Bond lol 😂

[@sarasen8147]

Sir M. Hordern was also on Where Eagles Dare with Richard Burton and loads of other WW2 films. Great voice- yes, cant forget the -sticky bears is ninepence...Shame they took the bear out of Paddn station. Ahh, after schoolday feeling....

[@tdickensheets]

I saw Paddington movie. I like it.

[@hansruhlmann454]

@Thomas Dickensheets It's one of the few adaptations that understand the Heart of the original source material.

[@ndingo]

I didn't like the movie it didn't have the theme in it

[@Adam-mh7zv]

Did this air on nick jr, because I don't have any memories of this show but it feels so familiar to me.

[@elaineashwell2007]

[@nicholasmedovich8691]

I have a plush paddington bear in my collection.

[@martinpugchin630]

Sooo cute. Always loved this version although it looks slightly dated. I had the lampshade with this version on. I only knew Michael Horden is the Grumpy old badger from wind in the willows who was always so sensible and telling toad to behave or that he was not allowed to have fireworks.......Toad was slightly mental.....Like me.

[@hmcvirgo92]

I always preferred this version over the Cinar/Cookie Jar version.

[@jenniferschillig3768]

Aw, I liked that one too. It may not have been up to this one but it was very charming and the voice talent was terrific--especially the guy voicing Paddington. The REALLY awful animated version was the short-lived Hanna-Barbera version that ran a couple years before the Cinar one. It threw in an American cousin for the Browns and, worst of all, made Paddington sound like the offspring of Truman Capote and a Munchkin. (Charlie Adler was a great Buster Bunny but a lousy Paddington.) Its only saving grace was that Mr. Curry was voiced by...Mr. Curry. (Tim, that is.)

[@GingerGilligan]

@sygo7g I guess it's possible. The only one of the shows you mentioned that I ever saw was Captain Kangaroo.

[@TheGwylan]

[@EddieHawkinsII]

I remember this from the Disney Channel. I'm 27. Is it wrong for me to feel so old?

[@AmorBesos123]

Me to when Disney was amazing :) ❤️❤️

[@PeckhamBear]

27 is not old. I'm 41 and remember it on the BBC in the 70s.

[@martinpugchin630]

I'm 41. I feel like a fossil. I go to people which I presume to be around my age and they never have any clue what I am talking about. They are around 30 and they don't know about fraggle rock fawlty towers who Frank Spencer Victor meldrew is or even who Hyacinth Bucket is! It's sad that they have missed out. It's sad that all my brilliant impersonations of these charavmcters people are completly wasted on people. I mention my royal doulton tea service with hand painted perywinkles and people look at me like I'm mental. I am of course it that's not the point!

[@martinpugchin630]

Wait till YOU get to 41. All the technology will have changed younger people will be even fatter and more unscoiable. The world changes so quickly and before you know it you will be saying I remember when starburst were called opal fruits and when I was young. We used to say......DURING THE WAR.......Like uncle Albert everytime my dad tried to speak. But thanks to the world changing I start telling people I remember half pennies.......or mention being born the same year as star wars came out and the looks you get from dismissive youngsters that say.......ALRIGHT GRANDAD NOBODY WANTS TO HEAR ABOUT THE DARK AGES.......then YOU will feel worse. I of course will probably be dead by then. Always listen to offer people.....even if they repeat themselves of you don't believe them when they say......you will be old one day. It's true you probably will and when it's too late you will wish you made more time to hear their stories. I work in a care home and always make time for tea and chats......learned so much. I have more in common with 85 year olds than I do with 20 year olds. Respect the older generation one day you will BE the older generation!

[@PCPopple]

I feel Michael Horton would've been better as Paddington in the modern film but we'll see what happens.

[@datprawn4850]

Paddington: Good afternoon, can I help you? *pointed by a gun by the authorities.* Err... No need to be violent now! What's the problem? Authorities: You have been charged for being both an 'Illegal Immigrant'' and a talking bear! The sentence is Re-exportation! *You cut to Paddington back in darkest Peru, visiting his Aunt Lucy.* Aunt Lucy: So, how was your immigration dear? Paddington: Terrible! Next time I'm heading to America. At least 'THEIR' borders are open, thanks to Mr Obama.

[@Tigerman1138]

Pokemon Champion Cynthia too funny!

[@danielsellers8707]

The Peruvian Embassy held a 50th birthday party for Paddington in 2008; he's their biggest ambassador in the UK!

[@frontback07]

but what was his real name ????

[@ekhornbeck127]

He's covered in white stuff said the taxi driver... yes said mrs brown, its peruvian flake...!

[@rainer1980]

I was greatly disappointed with the film adaption of Paddington. *sarcasm.* While American kids get taught the virtues of cultural diversity via Sesame Street, British kids were being taught good manners, and social graces, or how not to be bad mannered by Paddington. Who do you think is better off?
