[00:00:56] This is the podcast where we review children's TV shows as adults It's not for kids, but we said that already You say review, but we've never once given them a score Yeah That's true Our score is, would you go back, like, should you go back and rewatch it? Yes or no We usually say yeah, even if we hate it Yeah, why not? It's available My dad was listening, he was struggling to find it I think he messaged one of you two on Instagram about it And he was messaging me while he was listening to it

[00:01:25] And he was like, I love the bit in the beginning where you talk about how it's adult content And I'm like, oh, that's how foreign you've gotten, okay? Bless him This content contains podcasts Oh, they've heard all that, they've heard it Adult content, be advised, enjoy the episode Right, this is a rare moment Aromant Aromant Aromant Because it's Oh my god We're gonna combine even more words A second megasode in a row Well, it's actually kind of a Join

[00:01:54] A group effort, really, this one That's true That is true We've had to cobble this all together Yeah Because we forgot we were doing this We forgot we were recording So, um, if this is shit, that's why I think it'll be good though Because we're covering a really solid topic When I express concern An episode I'm leading might be shit And you go, I think it'll be good though

[00:02:23] I feel the way you must feel When you're concerned about an episode being shit And we're going, no, it's fine I'm like, but you don't know Yeah, no, exactly I feel that often When I'm editing I'm like, nah, shit, shit Then I put the clips in And I'm like, oh, this is paced out quite nicely One of the revelations in recent life I've had Is to just believe the people around you Yeah, I struggle with that Especially like compliments I just believe you two The thing is, we haven't actually done it yet

[00:02:52] So it actually could shape up to be an awful episode That's true But usually when one of you two says something positive I just go, you know what? I trust them I'm gonna take them for their word And it's made my life a lot better That's nice We've not yet done like an episode Where we thought this is so bad We're not putting it up Yeah, no That is true Yeah The only one where I was stressed about the quality Is because I was making us rush And I felt really bad Oh, yeah

[00:03:19] Go back and see if you can work out which one that one was Yeah, I'm not gonna tell you We mentioned it in the episode Yeah, I think so So if you're eagle-eared people Eagle-eared Eagle-eared, you know Are eagles particularly good at hearing? Nah, shit The shit Can you see their ears? No So they have to be You can't see any bird's ears Yeah, they all have shit hearing That's my assumption I don't know if I'm through it That has to be how it works, right? Small ears can't hear

[00:03:48] Owls have all Incredible hearing Yeah, that's true And I don't know if it's all owls But definitely some species of owls Have asymmetric ear placement So they can hear a wider Yeah Range of That's amazing That's so true I forgot about owls That have no brains So they can hear more Fuck yeah Forgot about owls Right, how are we all feeling? Owls forget about owls No brains Yeah, I know It's just a cavern For the sound to bounce around That's it How are we all feeling? I'm alright I've got like Oh dear, Laura

[00:04:16] I've got period cramps Laura's been sick four times today And that's more of an emotional wait for Meg I keep talking about it I did say to her earlier Like she was the one being sick And I said I don't think I'm handling this very well Well the other day we were out And I was sick A little bit on her A little bit You were sick quite a bit on me Quite a bit? Yeah It was all up my arm It was on my chest

[00:04:46] And it was on my clothes The only part that I saw Was the bit right over your chest No, it was more than that But you were too busy Cleaning it off you I would take my lot over Delphina's though Because Friend of the pod Delphina Yeah She got away with more Because there was less on her clothes She was wearing like a sleeveless top So most of what went on her Went on her arm And she was able to just wipe it straight off However It did go on her face Oh god It did? Yeah

[00:05:16] I was sick In the middle of the dance floor Yeah I'm feeling insane She was tucked up in bed I was I didn't go out that night I couldn't handle it I'm feeling insane today I'm feeling She is looking particularly manic I'm feeling manic And I've felt this all day I'm wired Can I just say not clinically manic She doesn't look clinically manic She just looks wide eyed

[00:06:44] I felt insane I sat down And it wasn't enough weight I was like It's not enough I need to be crushed It's why I like two duvets Because it's like And they're like tucked in So it makes you feel like you're in a You know those like Saran wrapped Packages of like salmon Yeah You're really sealed in I need to feel like Laura Palmer Is that inappropriate to say? You know how sometimes when people are having like panic attacks They get given a paper bag to breathe into

[00:07:12] I feel like Elsie just needed her head to be chopped off Yeah I still feel a little bit like Ugh I don't know what's got into me Apart from two coffees But I'm no stranger to two coffees Oh I've done two coffees many times Yeah but This mental state as well Oh you're right Yeah And that wasn't And what did you have for lunch else? Was it couscous? Yeah Yeah I mean If I have a coffee on an empty stomach Well that's like me gone for a week really

[00:07:42] And couscous is akin to eating nothing So I don't know It's small pasta It's how Well how much did you have of it though? There's like You'd need like so much couscous To be the equivalent of one penny Yeah Yeah you're right Yeah It's nothing No yeah It's flavoured nothing Yeah Speaking of the Patreon Possibly We are gonna have an additional episode

[00:08:10] On the theme of Paddington Yeah we just Earlier It might not even be an extra episode It could just be an extended this Yeah Yeah Where we just think that there's some Some areas relating to Paddington I.e. the politics That we wanna It's not the focus of the show Obviously So we don't wanna go too much into it here But we'll happily go into it more on the Patreon Yeah So this week is about the original Sorry no

[00:08:40] No it's not the original Paddington It's No it is Yeah the 1970s one It's the first adaptation that was made Yeah That wasn't like on stage The first TV Broadcast media version of Paddington Mr. and Mrs. Brown first met Paddington On a railway station Which was how he came to have such an unusual name For a bear Yeah and the Patreon episode Will be about the very recent

[00:09:08] Turn in public opinion The royal family assimilation The Grim Reaper stuff All of that The you know Sort of last four years Kind of Paddington Is what we'll be discussing there So if you want that Then That'll be Chaos Well Unfortunately Yeah is why it exists But that's what we'll be talking about Yeah basically Because we are very big fans of Paddington Like especially the originals Paddington 2 is everyone's favourite film But It

[00:09:37] Is very difficult for us to talk about it Without acknowledging The The negative Opinions that have arisen recently The shift in the zeitgeist Yeah for good reason Yeah that I don't entirely disagree with Yeah but we don't want to muddy the episode too much Because You know for the most part This is about nostalgia And Almost everyone is going to remember it fondly And This stuff is new Yeah This stuff is new Yeah

[00:10:06] So you know in this episode There will be acknowledgement of the films But we'll go deeper into what You know the modern context On the Patreon So Yeah this is about Without further ado Yeah The glorious 1970s adaptation I am going to hand over to my good friend Meg Hi To give us more on that Nine punts extra Exclaimed Paddington hotly He directed a hard stare at the driver He seemed to go a funny shade of pink

[00:10:36] So Paddington Is based on the books by Michael Bond Who first got the idea Because he bought a bear from Me and Laura watched a documentary About Michael Bond earlier And it says A large store in London But I'm pretty sure it was Selfridges Everywhere else says Selfridges Will you link me up to that I want to watch it I had to download it So Oh wow Okay I'll be watching that It was on the BBC

[00:11:05] But it's not currently on iPlayer You could probably find it on Bob If you wanted to find it Man behind the bear I've seen it I've seen it Sorry I was going to correct The sentence that I just fucked up But we need to keep that in So I'm not going to go back And do anything I'm glad we went on this pointless tangent Sorry go on Meg In the middle of my sentence Sorry He got the idea When he bought a bear from Selfridges Because he was The bear was all alone on the shelf

[00:11:34] And he felt a bit sorry for the bear Aww And he gave them Gave him to his wife Named him Paddington Because they lived near Paddington Station And eventually Started writing stories about him And now his books Have sold over 35 million copies In 40 different languages And have been the inspiration for Plays Musicals There doesn't need to be a musical About Paddington I know the one that's That's currently in production

[00:12:03] Isn't the first one that's happened But I'm just putting it out there It doesn't need to happen We saw a clip of The other Paddington musical In that documentary On Broadway And it's Terrific It was really unsettling looking Yeah it's been the inspiration For plays, musicals, movies Adaptage TV adaptations And as well as Escorting the Queen to Heaven For some reason Despite Paddington being Canonically alive Is the Grim Reaper Canonically dead? That's a

[00:12:33] That's a very interesting question Laura Yeah I think it Like God Kind of exists outside of Yeah so Paddington exists Outside of Life and death I can't wait to talk about this I have so many opinions on this There are 56 episodes Of the Original TV Adaptation And three Like slightly longer Well I say slightly longer Specials 56 episodes They all hover around The five minute mark

[00:13:02] And then the three Like slightly longer specials Are like about 20 20 minutes And are they in colour? All of it's in colour It's all in colour mate Just some of them are a bit Are they more in colour? Yeah some are more in colour More illustrative Like the very first series Is I would say The most basic one It's um It's like Stop motion And Like 2D Flat animation Combined

[00:13:31] Which Laura's got information about I'd like to have my paw red Please I want to see if I'm coming into a fortune or not I don't usually do bears Said Madame Zaza So we were watching the original one And uh So like Mike said There's these 2D uh Animation People in it Whereas Paddington's Three dimensional And I was really curious Like really curious As to how they did that Why they did that Etc And it was difficult to find stuff online But I got some stuff So let me just Scroll and find it

[00:14:00] Yeah so it's um A 3D stop motion puppet For Paddington Against static Drawn Scenery Uh He was a fully jointed Like Ball and socket Puppet Built by uh Evil Ivor Wood Ivor Wood Yeah built by Ivor Wood That's it Who also did He was the director Slash designer Of the Herbs And the Wombles You know That makes So much sense Because we posted Out of context

[00:14:30] A bit from Paddington And asked our Instagram followers To guess what we would be Covering next And a few of them Did say the Herbs And I can see why they did The Herbs And Parsi Are all They're also by Michael Bond He Yeah they Scripted them Yeah before No Paddington That's the first two shows He pitched to the BBC That's news to me Okay it's all Falling together I was sure You were gonna know that No it is all Coming together You know I think Now you mention it

[00:14:59] I do have a bit of a memory Of watching The Herbs And going Oh I I know that person But I don't think I made the connection Yeah Yeah so After the first series Wood-handed animation Duties went to Barry Leith Leith and other Animators at Film Fairs Bland Blandford What a name for a place Blandford Studios moved to Puppet and Photographed each shot The producer Amazing name Graham Flutterbuck

[00:15:29] Oh good Coordinated the production And then Pepper Weiss Was the executive producer For the BBC In-camera effects Everything was achieved Without digital aid Of course Everything from Paddington's dancing To the swinging Lamp posts required Like really precise Planning of course So sets were built Really small Often just a few Inches tall Which is so cute With perspectives Drawn to look like An outdoor set In like London Street corners Stations or shop Interiors

[00:15:59] The camera was fixed On a stand for each Scene and the Animators would pose Paddington Take a frame Yeah classic Stop motion Classic stop motion So The lighting Was done by Barry Leith He did Handmade Gobos Or goobos I don't really know What those are

[00:16:32] Placing cardboard The shadows cast By all the 2D People are like Really dark Because In one of the Specials There's like a Ballroom sequence Where you really Notice it Because there's Like loads of Fit people figures Whereas like Most of the episodes You only have like A couple of people In each frame But like There's They're flat But like There's depth To it Yeah And there's Paddington Like dancing He's dancing With a woman And he's like Dancing around her But he's 3D And she's 2D

[00:17:01] It's really weird That's amazing Because you look at it And you think God that is the Simplest production Possible Like it looks so You know Rudimentary But obviously It's not They worked quite hard To achieve that effect But yeah So the lighting Choices were made To make it look Bigger and deeper Than it was So instead of it Being a few inches Fuller That was intentional To make it look Bigger Yeah So the wooden Sorry Wood sculpted Paddington With a slightly Saggy Well loved Look

[00:17:30] Matching the books The head And the eyes Were fixed in place So the expression Came from the body Posture and the Tilt of his head I love that Me too I love it when He's eating Yes I was gonna Say that Or he's like Talking and his Nose is scrunching Yeah his nose is Moving up and down Yeah Did you mention That Ivor Would also did The magic roundabout Yeah No I hadn't But yeah He also did The magic roundabout But without Michael Bond Yeah that kind of makes sense Yeah He also did the Wombles but I've written The wobbles in my notes

[00:17:59] So yeah the 2D Cutouts the people Were All the humans All the secondary Characters were drawn On flat card Of acetate For movement Wood and leaf Used cutout Replacements Swapping small 2D paper heads Or limbs Frame by frame Instead of full puppets Which makes a lot of sense Yeah Yeah In effect Paddington as The only puppet Moved Through a world Of static cutout Figures to make him To The intent was The world revolves Around Paddington And they wanted him To be like

[00:18:29] The main focus Of every shot Which I think They achieve So Oh yeah absolutely And then I think That's Well the other stuff Here is like There's no dialogue And I'm like Yeah we know It's all narration That's the only other Stuff here Which I really like Personally Not wishing to spend His tenpence Paddington rummaged In the secret compartment Of his suitcase I think I've got A Peruvian centavo He announced They're silver Wait who Who narrates it again It's Michael Horden Michael Horden

[00:18:59] Michael Horden Yes Hornden No it's Horden Yeah Yep so it was Originally broadcast From 1976 And to 1980 Unsurprisingly On BBC One In the US It aired on Nickelodeon As a segment Of a show Called Pinwheel As well as On PBS At times And then The Disney Channel Purchased the rights To it And included it In a show Called Lunchbox So it was also

[00:19:28] Aired in like Singapore Ireland South Africa Japan Brunei Etc Very global I mean The books have sold 35 million copies Like wait Did I say million Or billion You said million Million yeah Yeah Everyone knows What Paddington is So were they already Very popular books Before everyone Started seeing this TV show Oh yeah Yeah They were I mean they'd already Been around for like 20 years before the He'd written 10 books Before he pitched the show

[00:19:58] In the sort of In the 50s He'd started writing them I swear it was like The 50s I mean I could be wrong But That's probably something I should have had in my notes But Laura's looking at it Right now 1958 was the first one Okay Oh okay Cool And the last one was 2018 Shut up Stop it One was published posthumously Yeah Was it that one? Yeah yeah He wrote it And then a year later He died Or like He wrote it And then died And then a year later He died in 2017 And it was published Posthumously

[00:20:28] Yeah Oh wow Okay So He finished it So he must have Written it quite late Yeah yeah yeah Oh wow Mate he just never stopped He just kept banging them out Like He wrote loads afterwards There's fucking loads Like a mouse called Thursday A series about guinea pigs An adult series I can't remember what that one's called Oh it's like It's like detective Or like monsieur pomplemousse And it's about like Is he like a food guy Something like that Something like that I don't know So this is So he's an author Author

[00:20:58] He's not just the Paddington guy He's written Yeah yeah He was apparently According to his documentary Slightly frustrated By how overshadowed Everything else he did Was by Paddington Yeah He got a bit much for him At some point Which is fair But it didn't stop him From continuously Banging them out Yeah And Paddington ones as well Not just books You mean he was writing Paddington Well yeah Yeah Okay That's really interesting I had no idea Between 2001 and 2018 10 more Paddington books

[00:21:28] Came out so Wow What a money machine Honestly Not to be cynical about it But He also wrote the scripts For the shows Like for the episodes Well a lot of them Were like very based On the books Weren't they Well yes But he was the one That scripted them Yeah Yeah yeah One day Paddington Was making his way Down the Portobello road In order to have His morning cocoa With Mr Gruber When he came across A very unusual poster The theme tune The theme tune Was composed by

[00:21:57] Herbert Chappell Or Chappell And it started It's not It wasn't composed For Paddington It was originally Some incidental music For Lord Peter Wimsey Which Chappell Also worked on And Well he actually did loads He wrote the theme For Songs of Praise No way Yeah The theme Was first commercially Released It was on the B-side For the Lord Peter Wimsey single And it was called

[00:22:27] Size 10 Shuffle Aww Aww I love that In 1973 It was then linked With The Adventures of a Bear Called Paddington Which was a theatre show And Given lyrics By Chappell's wife Brenda Johnson And then it was retitled Paddington Bear There's a And then it was The lyrics Like There's a version of it Performed by Bernard Cribbins No Which in the documentary He was like I have no fucking Recollection I'm listening And I know it's me And I know I was there

[00:22:57] That's amazing But I don't remember Wow But yeah I think It's definitely One of the most Iconic parts I actually Yeah I'm kind of sad It's not a part Of the films Yeah I know that The films Were kind of a Like A very separate Thing From the original Or like The very first Adaptation There's not a lot That links them all Like You know The stories are all You know All based on the same Character But it's not like They kept a lot of The

[00:23:27] Yeah You know Do you know What I'm trying to say I do You know It makes sense That you say It was initially Just incidental music Because It's a ironic bit But it sounds like It's been used In a bunch of things Because it has been Used in a bunch Of things Right Yeah It's like Oh I can't I always Always Always Forget the name Of this track But it's an Incidental music track

[00:23:56] That's always used In viewing art You know Oh The one that's in Smart Yes Yes Yes I'll put in A little bit I don't know If it's royalty free I've no idea Less than three seconds Of it isn't royalty free Well there you go I mean To be honest A lot of people Are going to be able To hear it In their heads When I say The looking at Your pictures That you've sent in It's called Left Bank 2 I've just found it Oh yeah Yeah Yeah there we go I do know Yeah yeah yeah Maybe it wasn't in Smart

[00:24:26] I think it was No it definitely Was in Smart It's in Elevator music mix Oh there you go I was saying The other day Imagine if That's enough Imagine if Your fridge Did elevator music When you opened it Oh lovely I'd never close it I think it'd be nice But then it's also like You 100% would know Every time someone's in the fridge Well yeah In the fridge It's what's known As a fair Said Mr. Groover And if you've never Peamed to one Mr. Brown Then you have never lived It's narrated by

[00:24:56] Michael Horden Who was Very well known For Shakespeare performances Which I mean Based on his voice Doesn't surprise me At all He was an actor Actor He was an actor Actor He was Yeah He was also He was also Badger in Wind in the Willows And Lovely A storyteller In the original Jackanory Like honestly If like you're a bit Older than us You're probably Gonna know him Really really well He's like In He's got one of the Biggest filmographies I've ever seen

[00:25:26] He's like far too much For me to mention But like literally The last thing he was in Was Or the last thing He's credited for Was like 1999 or 2000 And then he dies Yeah So It's when they have Selected filmography On their Wikipedia page Instead of filmography He tried calling out Help Fairly quietly So as not to disturb Anyone And then much louder Help Help That's kind of the Information there is About it Because these are the People that were

[00:25:55] Involved in the Making of the Production I did find While I was Looking it up Behind the scenes Do you remember The Like Marmite ad In like the 2000s That was in the Style of these Early Oh I think I do Actually Yeah It was like The introduction Of like the Squeezable Marmite Okay well it didn't Take off did it No And Well it still exists But it's not very Squeezable

[00:26:24] And it's like Marmite I can't remember The name of the Two guys We'll have to leave The link to the Behind the scenes In The show notes But They're saying like Oh we thought We thought the Models were gonna Be bigger And everything's Actually quite small And like so They've got this Like tiny tiny Version of a Squeezable Marmite Of Paddington And it's like He instead of Putting marmalade In his sandwich He's having a Cheese and squeezy

[00:26:54] Marmite sandwich And he's sat on Like a doorstep Eating his sandwich And a bird Comes along And he gives a Bit of the Sandwich to the Bird Bird hates it Like squawks Flies off In the path Of a car There's a car Crash And then a Policeman comes And takes Paddington away That's so funny Okay I do Vaguely remember These adverts Don't remember That I'm gonna have To watch that Yeah but it's Very cute And I think That was made That was made In I think

[00:27:23] Like the 2000s Mmm Really rather good Hello Would you like Some He gets about Paddington bear Gets about Is it worth Talking about The cartoons That were made Before we go Into our You know Opinions and stuff She's done Nothing but cry Ever since you Left This book Will tell us What to do It's called Everything you Need to know About bringing Up a child Mrs Brown used It for Jonathan

[00:27:53] And Judy There was A Cinar Cartoon Called the Adventures of Paddington Bear Or Paddington Bear Adventures Or something like That There was also In the 90s A Hanna Barbera one Yeah And that's The one that I watched a Little bit of That as a Kid Hanna Barbara Hanna Barbara Oh Now I know Why Mr Brown Calls this a Landing I'd better Phone the Police And Mr Curry Is played

[00:28:22] By Tim Curry Yeah In that Version Good evening Mr Curry What's so Good about It Brown My house Was burgled This afternoon I don't Think I didn't Okay Yesterday I watched a Bit of Both of These I think That They're Not They're Quite Boring Unfortunately Yeah I didn't Like it No It's the Hanna Barbera Yeah I can't Charlie Adler

[00:28:51] Is the Voice of Paddington In that It's a Little weird I don't Know I don't Find them That It's not Charming I think They look Perfectly Fine Oh yeah They look Fine But I Don't Didn't Like the Voices I don't Know if It's Because We're I just Prefer The Narration I Prefer The Narration Paddington Is not Like a Gentle Voice Paddington Voice Very Nasal The Plot Lines Are I Watched I think One and a Half Episodes Or Something And Like They've

[00:29:21] It's got That Character Of Like When Things Are Stupid But Instead Of It Being Charming Or Funny It's Just Annoying Sure And It's Like This Is Just Bold Facely Idiotic In a Way That's The Plots Are Just Irritating I Thought That The Hanna-Barbera Intro Music Was Quite Fun Quite Nice In a Kind Of You Know 1960s Archie's Sort Of Close Harmony Kind Of Way It Was 1989 To 1990 So It

[00:29:51] Wasn't Very Popular If There Was Only One Year Yeah No I Remember Reading That Yeah I Mean I Think Ugly Also Just To Say His Lovely Hat Is Ugly I Think Tim Curry Was Very Good In It I He's Very It's An American Production Yeah One Of The Most Famous Train Stations In The World Yeah And They Don't Have Very Many Of That's True

[00:30:22] It Is It Is A Fact That For A Country That Big Not Enough Tains Are Few Their Train Sessions Their Train Lines A Few For A Country That Big I Mean It's Yeah It's Difficult To Get Around Something Interesting About Paddington Bear I Don't Know If You Know This Already If You Didn't Know That Michael Bond Also Did Parsley Lion And The Herbs You Might Not Know This But He Didn't Always Wear Wellies In The Books He Also Doesn't Have

[00:30:52] A By Gabrielle Designs To Help The Bears Stand Up I Knew That Because You Told Me Ages Ago And The Gabrielle Designs Weren't Operating With A License So Ended Up Having To

[00:31:21] Meet With Michael Bond's Lawyers What Do You Mean Operating Without A License So They Were Producing Paddington Bears So The Bears With The Duffle Coat The Name Paddington The Tag Without A Creative License From Michael Bond They Were Toy Company They They Added Wellies To Help It Stand So I Thought You Meant In The Production No Okay And

[00:31:58] The Years After They Basically Received A Summons By Michael Bond's Lawyer And It Was Run By A Couple Called Shirley And Eddie And Eddie Then In In The Elevator On The Way Up To The Meeting Michael Bond Goes Whatever Happens In That Meeting I

[00:32:29] No Musician No Politician No What's Left Uh Oh god Presenter Yes News Presenter No White Yes Sports Presenter No Kids TV No Radio Presenter I guess Some of What he Presents Could Fall under Sport Yeah In In Some Some Some Aspects Of The Thing He

[00:32:59] Presented Technically Falls Under Sports But That Was Not The Focus Of The Show Oh My God Um Like Like a Magazine Show No No Oh My God I Give Up Do You Oh Stop It So Jeremy Clarkson Had The Had One Of The First Prototypes And He Said That They Were So He Said Either

[00:33:29] His Or His Sister's Actual Paddington Ended up Getting Sold To A Toy Shop Yeah So They Could Sell It And So The Wellies Was it Dunlop Yeah So The Wellies Are Dunlop Wellies And They Were Using Kids Size Four Dunlop Wellies And Called Someone

[00:33:59] Called Up What Was Her Name Shirley Clarkson So Where Where In London Can I Buy These Bears And She Went Oh You Know Harrods Hamilies And He Went Thank You And Put The Phone Down And She

[00:34:30] To Create A Deal And Is My Visual Memory Correct In Thinking That In The 70s TV Show He Wears Wellies No No He Doesn't He May Do At Some Points But At

[00:35:00] Were Red But They Got Rid Of The Wellies Okay He Should Sometimes Wear Wellies They're Just Appropriate Sometimes Yeah Practical Yeah Okay Good To Know So The Show That We're Focusing On Black Hat No Wellies They

[00:35:30] Who's Yeah I Don't Like To Think Of A Wooden Inside That Makes Me Uncomfortable Yeah Don't Like That One Thing I Will Say Like About The Movies Versus Any Of The Other Adaptations Is The Hard Stare The Movies Delivers Because He's A Real Ish Bear Right Whereas In

[00:36:00] At Once In All The Episodes I Watched Same Yeah Yeah It's Like They're Leaning To Darkest Peru A Bit More I Mean They Go There At No Point Is

[00:36:30] There's No Bears In Africa There's Bears In Asia Europe And The Americas We'll Probably Talk A lot More About This In The Bonus Episode On The Political Context Of Paddington But I Read A Really Interesting Article About Paddington And The Black Britain Immigrant experience They Do Talk About That In The Documentary As Well Yeah In That Article One Of The Things They Mention Is That It

[00:37:00] Is Beneficial To The British Psyche And Why They Warmed To Paddington So Much Possibly Is Because Peru Was Not Colonised By The English It Was Colonised By The Spanish Which Is Easier For Us To Stomach Isn't It So Darkest Peru Said The

[00:37:58] Wind Falls Into To Political Context But This Has Been There From The Beginning And It's Not The Sort Of Recent No Yeah We Can Talk About The OG Stuff Yeah Just The Whole Immigrant Of It The The Way That It Was Like Conceived Let's Talk About That Because I Think That This Is One Of The Reasons That Paddington Is So Great Yeah I Came All The Way In A Life Boat And I Had Marmalade Bears Like

[00:38:28] Marmalade I Used To Live With My Aunt Lucy But And I Was Trying To Explain To My Cousins That Paddington Is An Allegory For Immigrants And They Went What Or Just Immigrant No Yeah They Literally Like What's Immigration They're Ten You Know Your

[00:38:58] Grandma And Granddad Yeah Yeah You Know Our Grandparents How They're Not From England They're Immigrants And I Was Like You Know How People Move Here From Overseas Yeah They're Like That's Immigration They Oh They Had No Idea And I Don't Think They Necessarily Believed Me What Do You Mean I Don't Know Because They Just Had Never Heard Of The Concept But It's Film About Bear Yeah From Overseas But Yeah They Didn't I Also He's Very British

[00:39:27] For A Bear From Peru I Also Tried A Little Bit To Explain ACAB To My Cousins And They Really Didn't Get It My Sorry Are you Teaching my 10 year olds About all Cops are Bastards Yeah So I Was I Mentioned That They Didn't Say All Cops Are Bastards But A Police Book Came Up Do

[00:39:57] You Remember Cops And Robbers Yeah Yeah I Do Cops And Robbers Ho Ho That's How it Went But Yeah They Didn't They Didn't Get These I Don't Think They're High Minded Concepts But They Just Didn't Click Please Look After This Bear Makes Me Look After

[00:40:27] This Bear Thank You Well Should We Talk About A Little Bit That Yeah Because In The Documentary Watch So Michael Bond Is From Berkshire From Near Reading And When He Was A Kid In Reading During World War II They Had Evacue Kids Come And Stay With Them They Also Had Jewish Refugee Children Come And Sit With Them And How That Related To And Inspired The Whole Please Look After This Bear Thank You It Was The Kind Of Label You Couldn't Possibly Ignore And In No Time At All Things Began To

[00:40:57] Happen Because He Remember Oh Thank He Was On The Note As Well He Remember These Don't He Remember These Kids These The Fire He Also Has Been Quoted Saying So I Was Reading I Was Reading Various Articles About

[00:41:27] This About The Subject Of Paddington Yesterday And He Was Quoted In One Saying I Think The Saddest Sight In The World Is Refugees That's Fair Yeah Yeah Like I Think It's A Really Good Lesson To Just Be Welcoming Yeah Who Need Help Well I Have No Idea If This Is In The Original Books But It Is In The First Film

[00:41:56] When Aunt Lucy Is She's Gone Guys I Nearly Cried At The They Just Talk About How He Died On The Last Day Of Filming Of The Second Film He Did Yeah He Did Yeah So He Never Got to See The Finished Thing The Second One Is Dedicated To Him But He Does Cameo In The First One Yeah

[00:42:26] Who Is He In The What Were You Gonna Cry Aunt Lucy Is Putting Him In The Boat And She's He's Like What If What If They Don't Like What If They Don't Like Bears What If They Don't Like Bears It's A thinly Veiled Metaphor Yeah And Aunt Lucy

[00:42:56] Says The Explorer That Came To Our England And She Said In The Explorer's Country There Was A Time When They Took In A Lot Of Children Or People I Can't Remember Me And And And She Says The Line

[00:43:29] They Won't Have Forgotten How To Treat A Stranger Sorry Guys And It Came Out At A Time When So The First One Was 2014 And A Couple Of Years Before That It Was The David Cameron Nick Clegg Coalition And Wankers Wankers And If This Was The Name Of The Policy Or The

[00:43:58] Nickname Are You Talking About Immigration 2014 Act I Am Yes What Was It Called Hostile Environment They Were Trying To Make It So People Wouldn't Want To Come Here It Was A Collection Of Policies It Works So Well That We Don't Want To Be Here Yeah We Made A Hostile Environment For Everybody Yeah And That Is When The Film Came Out Which Is Mad Like It Came Out All

[00:44:28] Politicians Need To Have Watched Old Paddington To Have Their Job What We Do Need To Remember Is That The Explorer Actually Went To Peru To Kill A Rare Kind To You Know Empathy And Like The Fucking Humanity Of These Animals And You Like Shit I Need To Rethink My Life I Do Think It

[00:45:08] Language Because You Raised Him From A Cub Well That Is Another Thing That Is Mentioned In This Article Which I'll Link Have You Read It Yeah I Think So Yeah I Did Yeah It's The Creating An English Name That's Easy For To Pronounce It's Easy For White To Pronounce Possible For Us We Don't Have The Anatomy To Do You Know I Know That It's The Whole Thing About You Know Feeling The Need To Have An English Name So It's Easy For People To Pronounce

[00:45:39] But They Are Different Species And Five Or Six Years Old The English Teacher Went Around And Just Gave Everyone An English Name And That Was It My My Dad Said That He He Lived With A Guy When He Was At Uni Who Was Chinese But Had An English Name My Dad Like One Time Was Like

[00:46:08] What's Your Chinese Name And He Told Him His Chinese Name And My Dad Went What's Wrong With That We'll Like Oh Thanks But I Guess This Was In The 90s My Friend Bronwyn She Has She Half Scottish Half Chinese She Has A Chinese Name And She Hates It She Never Goes By It's Tong And It Means Red She Hates It Good Afternoon

[00:46:38] He Said Can I Help You Well No Said Mr. Brown We Were Wondering If We Could Help You Yeah The I mean It's Not The Same In The Original Although It's A Perfectly Lovely Scene In The Original But In The Film When They Find Him In The Station It's I Think One Of The Most Emotional Things Ever Put To Film And It Is Proceeded By One Of The Best Jokes He

[00:47:08] Basically Is Like Excuse Me Bonneville Says Don't Look Darling It's Just Some Bear Something Like That How Do We Feel About Paddington Station Oh I Don't Like Paddington Station I Can't Remember A Single Time I've Gone In The Main Entrance I

[00:47:42] Birthday My First Birthday In This Flat And I Was Crying Within The First Five Minutes Of The Film Because I Thought That Baby Paddington Was So Cute It

[00:48:12] They Watch It In That And You've Got Two Grown Men Crying Their Eyes Out Watching It And My Dad And My Brother Were Like Oh Yeah We'll Watch It And They Both Cry And It's Like Yeah Because It's Amazing Yeah It is And The We'll Go Deeper Into This In The Bonus Episode But The Thing About That Film Is That It's So Good That It Became A Meme That It's The Best Film Ever It's Unfortunate That It's Become A Meme For Being So Good Because The Truth Is However Good People Say

[00:48:42] It Is It Is That Good And If You've Not Seen It You'd Be For Thinking That There's A Ridiculous Hype The Hype Is Just Silly But No It Actually I'm Afraid It Is That Good And Also Like Sometimes People Tell You All These Films Are Amazing So It's Like Okay The Godfather Apparently I haven't Seen it Amazing Right But The Thing With That Is All Of These Films That People Say Are Amazing You Have To Watch Them Usually Do Not Make You Feel Really Lovely And Warm

[00:49:12] Inside They're Really Dramatic Sad Whatever But Paddington Is Just Lovely I've Not Met Someone That Doesn't Like It Yeah I Told My Boyfriend That We're All Crying And He Has Sent Huge Paddington Fan He Well When We First Started

[00:49:42] Going Out Was The First Time Because I'd Only Just Recently Watched The Paddington Films And I Hope You Won't Mind Me Saying That She Put Up A Fight I Did Have To Sit Her Down To Watch It And Then I Showed Him The Films And We Watched The 1976 The Original And I Have Like This Memory Of Him Coming Here And It Being Too Rainy To Go Out And Do Anything So We Just Laid In Bed All Day Watching Them On My

[00:50:12] iPad You Must Have Seen All Of Them Oh Yeah I've Seen All Of Them And They're Just So Good And He's Got Quite A Few Yeah I Didn't Want One Of Mine Anymore So I Was Trying To Clear Stuff Out And I Was Like I Don't Have Any Particular Attachment To This Paddington Teddy Bear I Know

[00:50:46] Who I Workbook That He Signed His Niece Up To And They Used To Do This Like Little Workbook Together When She Was Still Young Enough To Care And It's Like There's An Episode Where He Goes And Buys Pyjamas And They're Like These Little White Pyjamas With Little Pink And Purple Flowers On Them It's Like A Dream Of Mine To Be A Little

[00:51:16] Paddington Wearing Those Pyjamas It's A Dream Of Mine To Have Those Pyjamas Imagine Going To Sleep In Those Yeah So He Fucking Loves It Went From Like Zero Interest In Paddington To Asking Me About Getting A Tattoo Of Paddington Why Is

[00:51:48] He Decided It Might Be A Very Good Idea If He Surprised The Browns By Lending A Helping Paw First Time I Watched This It Was In The 76 One I Mean Meg And I Were Watching It One Morning And This Is My Very First Experience Do You Know What I'm Going To Say No It Was The Parents Talking To Each Other Outside Their Bedrooms It Was They Were Just Chatting And The How Do I Explain This I'm As

[00:52:17] Patriotic As The Next Man Grumble Mr Brown But I Draw A Line When Bears Start Playing The National Anthem At Six O'clock In The Morning The Dad Is On The Landing And The Mum Says No Need To Stand To Attention I Showed This Clip At Uni We Had When I Was Doing My Masters We Had This Thing Where We All Had To Do A Present On A Scene And I Did This It's From An Episode And I Can't Remember What Episode It Is But I'm Pretty Sure It's

[00:52:47] Like A Christmas Episode And There Is A Boner Joke In One Of These It's They All Stand Up Or Something There's No Need To Stand To Attention Henry Said Mrs Brown I'm Not Standing To Attention I'm Stuck To The Floor Look Mrs Brown Says Attention And The Like Camera Pans Down The Dad Yeah Like To His

[00:53:16] Fucking Trousers Or Something And I Was Like Was That A Boner Joke And I Was Showing Elsie To See If She Thought It Was A Boner Joke A Couple Of Second Yeah You It Is As Well You Gotta Sneak In A Couple Jokes For The Adults Every So Often Every So Often Yeah Cause That's Gonna Be

[00:53:46] Lost On Kids So It's Also A Very Funny Show Like Each Episode Is Five Minutes But It Feels Like It Goes So Much Quicker Because Each Episode Is Basically One Joke When Removing Rods From Chimney Great Care Must Be Taken Otherwise The Brush May Become Detached It's Like A Long Buildup To A Punchline And The Punchline Is Paddington Got Something Wrong

[00:54:16] Paddington Gazed Mournfully At The End Of The Rod There Was No Doubt About It His I Liked It Looking At Mr. Brown's Marrow Paddington Felt It Ought To Have Some Very Good Prints On It Indeed And He Lost No Further Time In Getting Down To Work I

[00:54:46] Love The Episode Where He Is A Detective Because He's Got A Torch And He's Doing Morse Code And The Way That They Use The Torch Light It's Like Oh It's Just A Torch Light Like It Just Is It's Just There In It And It Just Feels So Tangible And So Real Yeah I Like The One Where He Does Singing In The Rain That I Was Like Sobbing At That Earlier He Just It's Like Frame For Frame The Same

[00:55:16] As The And Gene Kelly Approved And Gene Kelly Approved And It's Yeah It's Just Little Paddington Doing The Same And I've Had Singing In The Rain Stuck In My Head

[00:55:47] Says That It's A Really Brilliant Film And Then Everyone That Eventually Watches Is Like Oh Yeah Actually Singing In The Rain Is Fantastic Is Film Called Singing In The The Film Is Called Singing In The Rain I Haven't Seen Anything Gene Kelly's Done I Super Want To Watch It It's Like Citizen Cade Everyone Who Actually Seeing In The Rain Everyone That Sees It Is Like Yeah It's Just Fucking Fun Citizen Cade Great Movie You Don't Leave Feeling Good Oh

[00:56:37] We Share It Not Like Captain Greenbeard The Selfish I Also Watched The Most Recent Paddington Show Oh Yes The

[00:57:08] Winnie The Pooh I Like It It's Quite Sweet There's I Think I Said This To You Else There's Intentionality Behind It That Feels Like They Were Like We Want To Try We Want To Choice In How It Was

[00:57:38] Done Everything Is Like Nice Pastels Thing It's Got This Specific Texture Yeah Which I Thought Was It's All It's All Nice It's All Sweet It's All I Remember Watching some A Couple Years Ago With My Boyfriend's Nephew When It Much But It Is

[00:58:08] Totally Inoffensive Like It's Pretty Good I Think That There Is Probably Not A Better Choice Of Casting Than Ben Wish Shaw I He

[00:58:38] Is A Bear He Is A Bear That's The Thing He Is Actually A Bear I Saying

[00:59:07] That The Entire First Film Was Voiced By Colin Firth And At The End They Were Like We've Been Fighting It But Unfortunately It's Just Not Working I Do Not Know That That Would Be Weird Yeah Colin Firth Was Like Yeah I Mean It Kind Of Makes Sense Like Okay I Mean I'm Guessing He Got Paid So You Know It's Also Um Colin Firth Is Also Like Paddington Is Supposed To Be Young

[00:59:37] Yeah That's The I Mean Ben Whishaw Is Not Like A Spring Chicken But Like He Has The He Sounds Quite Young

[01:00:07] Not Anymore I Mean I Think Of Him As Being A Spring Chicken Because He First Came On To Our Screens In A Big Way As A Very Young Q The First Thing I Saw Him In He Plays Ariel In Tempest Oh That's Good Yeah That Is Good It Was The Helen Mirror In Tempest That He Playing Ariel That Was The First Thing I

[01:00:48] Adaptation That Had Yellow Face In It Oh Dear Oh Cloud Atlas Yeah That David Mitchell Yeah I Do Unfortunately Really Like I Did Really Enjoy The Cloud Atlas I've Not Seen It Already I've Seen It It's Other Than That Which When You're Watching You're Like Whoa It's A Pretty Good Film It Is Do You Know What It Is A Good Book But It's One Of Those Books Where

[01:01:17] It's Told In The Different Story Sections So It's Like It Goes A Character And Then Middle And Whoever Was The Middle Character It Was Written In Such A Way

[01:01:47] That I Struggled With It And Like Anything That's Written I hate It When Authors Do This Anything That Is Written In Like Dialect Where Yeah You I Hate That Because It Assumes I I Think You've Not Read Like When It's Like Kind Of Internal Monologue Stuff And The Whole Book

[01:02:17] Is Written In Kind Of I Find It Really Off-putting To Read Like If Someone Wrote A Whole Book And It Was Written In It's So It's It's Supposed To Be A Yorkshire Accent Right But He's Like The Games Keeper Or

[01:02:47] Is That The Word The Grounds Keeper Or Depends What He's Doing Is He Keeping Game Or Grounds Such A Good Point He's Like The Most You Know Oldest Like Deep Regional But At least So Yeah It's So patronizing It feels Like She's Never Heard Yorkshire Accent Because It's Just It is Just Syllables And Vowels That Make No Sense Like If You Were To Say It Out Loud It Wouldn't Be

[01:03:34] I Will Excuse This When Scottish Twitter Do It Themselves Yeah It's Hilarious When That Happens I've Read Like One Book That Was Christopher Brookmeyer Is That It's All Fun And Games Until Someone Gets A

[01:04:04] Yeah Go On Sorry And It's It's So Much Of It Is Done In This That It Is Distracting Yeah It's Like I Am Capable Of If You Tell Me

[01:04:34] Just To Go Back To Ben Wish Sure Sorry No That's All right Just My My Note On That I Mean I Do Think That He Just Sounds Utterly Perfect I

[01:05:04] Believe It's Set In The 50s Or 60s It's Like A Three Part Thing The Guy That He's Having An Affair With Hugh Grant Is Having An Affair With Unfortunately Is Played By Ben Wish And If You Shut Your Eyes It's Baddie From Paddington 2 And Paddington It's Not Comfortable It's Not Pleasant Have You Seen The Meme That's Like You Know The Bit Is Paddington

[01:05:34] One Or Two Where He's Like Falls At The Bottom Of The Escalator And It's Just Like His Legs Are Just Going On The Escalator He's Just Framed Badly Waiting For Someone To Rescue Him And There's A Meme That Was Like This Is What It Would Look Like If You Were Topping Paddington Yeah Because I He's The Signs

[01:06:04] Dogmas Dogs Must Be Held And In The Next Frame He's Got A dog From Somewhere Where Did He Get That Dog Whose Dog is That Oh So Funny Can You Imagine I'm Scared Of Me A Fucking Bear It's Like Have You Seen Have You Seen The Clip Of The Dog

[01:06:35] It's A Dog And Like A Big Cat And Not Like Just A Big House Cat It's Like A Wild Cat A Wild Some Kind Of Hand Reared Or Something But There's The They're Like Stroking This Cat And The Dog Is Like Looking Between The Human And The Cat Like Do You Not Know What That Is So Scared That's How A dog Would Feel To Be Carried By A Bear What

[01:07:06] Am I About To Die Yeah Two I Don't Know Hugh Grant And Ben Wishaw You're Selling This Film To Me Oh It's A Miniseries Brilliant It Was Actually Really Really Good Monica Dolan Plays The Wife And It's Like Monica

[01:07:36] Dolan No Offence To Monica Dolan I Think She's Utterly Brilliant But Her Type The Kind Of Person She Plays Is The Wife Of A Tory Politician Who's Having An Affair With A Man Yeah Am I Wrong About That That She Plays Accidentally In Lavender Marriages Yes No No No Because She Doesn't Know Sorry Yeah Everyone Is Lavender Would Suggest That She's A Lesbian She's Not A Lesbian Fair Point It's Got To Be Consent On Both Parties For A Lavender Marriage Mercy Me

[01:08:06] Look There He is I'm Afraid Said Paddington I've Got My Head Stuck In The Chimney Pot It Came Away When I Was Trying To Rescue Mr. Brown's Brush Do You Remember The First Time You Heard About Paddington Or Did You Watch The Show When You Were A Kid I I Asked My Dad If He Showed It To Us And Helpfully Replied To Every Other Message Except For That One So I Never Remember Learning About Paddington I Just It's There Yeah

[01:08:42] I Child I Had Winnie The Pooh I Don't A Bit Difficult With Paws Perhaps I'll Raise My So We Have Probably Spoken About This On The Pod I Don't Remember Speaking About It But We Have This

[01:09:12] Conversation As The Three Of Us As A Household Have This Conversation So So Frequently It I Went Do Either Of You Know How Many Species Of Bear There Are And Meg Went Eight Just Immediately Yeah But It Was A Guess It Was And You Were Right So Can We Do It

[01:09:58] Never Ever Get Speckled Bear Oh Yes What Paddington Is Oh Okay Good So What's The Last One Is It One Of The Little Ones I'll Get Google Up Now Yeah Yeah We

[01:10:29] North American Black Bear Brown Bear Polar Bear Yeah Asiatic Black Bear Oh There You Go Andean Bear Or Speckled Bear Yeah Panda Yeah Sloth Yeah Sun Yeah Okay So We Basically Got Them Yeah We Just Forget That There's Two Black Bears We Never Ever Get It And We've Had This Conversation A Million Times What Is It About What's That Actor's Name I Remember Now But Do You Remember

[01:10:59] Yeah Alfred Molina Yeah Always Forget His Name But I Think Alfred Molina Is Like Incredible Kind Of Like Yeah Can I Say Something Alfred Molina Is This A Safe Space It It Is It Is You Know He's Like Really You Know Like You Know He's Lovely He's Lovely Alfred Molina Also Spider-Man 2 Is A Great Film Yeah And

[01:11:28] Inferno By Dan Brown He's Not In Inferno He's In Da Vinci Code Oh Sorry Sorry Everyone He dies In Da Vinci Code That's Why He Can't Be In Inferno Me And Else Recently Watched All The Dan Brown Movies Yeah I Want Another Oh My God Laura Tell Tell Our Listeners What Your Grandma Said About Paddington You Were Watching It At The Weekend And She Said Oh Yeah Oh My God Yeah

[01:11:57] So This Happens Kind of Anytime We Put On Like Really New Stuff With Like Really Excellent CGI So Like If I Sorry Is She Is She A

[01:12:27] Genius Comedian Are We Underestimating Her Or Is She I'm Sorry This Is Your Grandma Thick She's 88 I Don't Care She Hasn't Been To The Pictures In Like 50 Years I Winnie The Pooh And Early

[01:12:57] On The Way To My Aunt House They Have A New Car Because The Old One Died And She Was Sat In The Back For The First Time And She Couldn't Get The Headrest To Go Up So They Were Bothering Her And She Said To herself Kind of Quietly She Went Gotta Remember To Complain About This Did You Say You're From Peru

[01:13:26] Called Mrs Bird Darkest Peru Said Paddington In That Case I'd Best Be Getting Some More Marmalade In The Wallpaper In The Browns House In The 76 Version I Know That It Is Meant To Be A Pattern Every One Note

[01:13:56] One Thing I Will Bring Up They've Got A Live In Maid It's Julie Walters In The Film In The Film They Almost Kind of Make It Out Like She's A Relative Yeah Like It's Not Really They Don't Say This Is Our Housekeeper Basically But The Browns They've Got Money Oh They Do I Mean

[01:14:26] Fancy Knowing I Like Marmalade Exclaimed Paddington Mrs Bird Knows Everything About Everything Said Judy She Sounds Just Like Aunt Lucy Said Paddington This Present

[01:14:55] They They Have Money It's Really Nice House Huge House Have You Seen The Episode Where I Guess Social Work It's Like a Policeman Comes to The Door And Says According According to Our Information He's Been Living At This Address For A Number Of Years And We Have No Record Of A Single Attendance But He Was Brought Up In Darkest Peru We Know Someone Lives Here Who Should Be Going To School That

[01:15:25] Isn't No Is That The One Called Paddington Goes To School And She's Like Yeah But His Aunt Lives In The Home For Retired Better Whatever In I Do With Hers She's Like In The Kitchen With

[01:15:55] What's Her Name What's The Housekeeper Mrs Bird Sorry If She's A Stay At Home Mum Why She Got A Housekeeper Exactly And They're Doing The Washing Up Together And She's Going What If He's Sad And What If He's Scared And She's Looking Out The Window Going I Wonder What He's Up To Now At No Point Do I Ever See Her Talk About Her Own Children Like How Old Is Paddington I Don't Know How Long He's Supposed To Be How Long Do Bears

[01:16:24] Live Oh Dear Speckled We're Going Here Are We How Long Does Speckled Bears Live Uh Oh So Aunt Lucy Is Like 80 Right He Says At One Point She's 80 But The Span Of A Speckled Bear Is 20 Years Okay What About In Captivity Uh 35 Or Even 38 Years Oh 38 Years Am I Making This Up Or Is Imelda Staunton The Modern

[01:16:54] Voice Of Aunt Lucy Uh Yes She Is Okay And Then Michael Gambon Is Past Lovely R.I.P. Do you swear Paddington Gave The Man A Hard Stare Never My Aunt Lucy Taught Me Not To Silence Do we Recommend Rewatching It Or Watching It For The First Time Absolutely Yes It's All On Internet Archive Or YouTube If You Want To Watch It In An Organized

[01:17:24] Fashion Internet Archive If You Only Watched The Films Definitely Go And Watch The Films Are Fantastic But The The Way The Theme Tune Makes Me Feel Is Like Pavlovian

[01:17:54] Yeah But From Your Eyes And Not Your Mouth Yeah It Is Yeah I Start Salivating From The Eyes Yeah It Just Makes Me And A Brush So That You Can Scrub Your Back Braddington Felt He Would Sooner Just Sit In A Puddle But He Didn't Like To Say So It Sounds Very Complicated He

[01:18:24] Announced Studio Canal Since 2016 Yeah Was The Film Studio Canal Uh Ooh That's They Have To One Let Let Let Let The First One Cause Yeah The First One's 2014 Right They Distributed The First One But They Are Not A Production Oh No They Are A Production Company They Must Have In That

[01:18:54] Sequence Of Making It Gone We Should Buy Yeah I Mean They There Are Lots Lots

[01:19:30] And There's Like Paddington You Know Takes A Bath And Then There's Like Him Having A Bath In Yes Yes Yes Yes When He Is Taken Home In The TV Series For The First Time He Uses The Facilities Yeah So There Are Lots And Lots Of References To That And I Also Appreciate The Fact That In The Films The Other Characters Are Fleshed Out More Because The The Show Is About Paddington

[01:20:00] But I Appreciate That In 2014 They Thought Let's Not Make Her A Stay At Home Mum But Let's Give Her A Hobby Yeah Well It's A Career But You Know It's A Hobby It's Not A Career For Lots Of People Yeah That's True But Yeah You Do Get Less Of The Other Characters They Do All Go Through A Problem That Is Solved By The End

[01:20:29] Or A Breakthrough In Their Personality Flaws At Least Yeah Me and I have Not Seen The Third One So We Can't No That's True We Haven't Yeah I like The fact That In The In The Show Mr. Gruber Also Has An Accent Yeah It's The Exact Same One Does An Accent For The Guy What's Oh Fantastic And You Know Who Also Is

[01:20:59] Brilliant In The Films As Mr. Curry Is Peter Peter Calde He's So Good In Those Films Actually The First Film Has A Joke That Is One Of My Favourite Jokes Ever I Think About It I Think About It And He

[01:21:29] Says I Just Found Them Tied To A Lampost I Thought Waste Not Want Not And It's So For Paddington That's For Anything It's Incredibly Dark But Really Funny And He Delivers It Great Yeah I Think The Documentary Is Definitely Worth Watching Hard To Get Your Hands On But It's Got A Lot Of People With Different Levels Of Connection To Jeremy Clarkson

[01:21:59] Jeremy Clarkson's Mum Michael Bond's Two Wives Bernard Cribbins Is In It A Blue Pinot Presenter Connie Hook's In It And I Can't Remember Why I Think She Just Likes It Connie Hook Was A Milkshake Presenter And Milkshake Did Show It I Don't Know If She Was Presenting At The Time When They Were Showing It Or Whatever That's Just Two Facts That I Know Is That The One That Was Doing The Thing Yeah Yeah Um

[01:22:28] Yeah And That's Very Interesting Simon Farnaby's In It Oh Of Course We Haven't Mentioned Oh No Ridiculous Hold It There Sister You're Going Nowhere Till The Detective Says So Spin It Around His Character In The Movies Barry He's The One That Plays The Security Yeah I Think Is Barry Right Which Is Named After The Artist Who Did Most Of The Merchandise For

[01:22:58] Paddington At The Beginning No Yeah Oh That's So Cool Who Was Also In The Documentary Well He Him And Paul King Co-wrote The Films Yeah Paul King A lot Of People Might Not Know This Before Paddington He Was Most Known For Directing All Of The Mighty Boosh And I Think It Kind And The Whole Bright World And London Being

[01:23:28] Made Slightly More London Like The Buses Are Slightly More Red And Everything Is Just Slightly Elevated To Make It A Little Bit More We Walked Past A Kid Taking A Photo In A Telephone Booth I Said To Meg I Know It's A Tourist Thing And Yeah Fair But Out Of Place Because Everything Is

[01:24:08] A Little Bit More Authors Where There's Such A Good Relationship Like Quentin Blake And Roald Dahl And I Think Peggy Fortnum And Michael Bond It

[01:24:54] Hand Drawn Illustrations And Paddington Being A Model Is Very Like Fitting For The Tone That You Get From The Books And Yeah I Just Wanted To Mention Her Because She Illustrates All Of Them Yeah I'm

[01:25:30] My Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah The Movement Feels Very Similar In Both The Thing Is In Paddington I Find It Really Comforting And In The Herbs As A Kid Anyway I

[01:26:00] Found It Really Unsettling I Think That That's A Very Common Experience To Have Had With The Herbs You're Not The Only Person Who Has Said That To Me Yeah Parsley The Lion As Well Which Is Set In The Universe And Has No Reason To To Be To Different Show In My Opinion I Don't Know Why They're Two Different Shows I Think The Movement Isn't That Different From Bag Puss Oh Yeah No It's Really Similar I Think It Gives The Same Energy The Slightly Jossily Yeah Oliver Postgate And Peter Furman Yeah Quite Quite Similar

[01:26:30] Yeah And Yet There Is A There Is A Difference And I Can't Put My Finger On It Because Neither Is More Smooth Or Less Jank Than The Other But There Is A Different I Think Is It The Setting One Is More Folky Yeah And One Is More Lifted Out Of A Children's Book Charming I

[01:27:07] What To Bigger Yes Everything Is Bigger Actual Size They Took Actual Object Yeah Where Is Everything In The Paddington Show I Would Love To See These It Is Like Maybe The Hight Of
