Paddington Bear at 50
The Times has a feature on Paddington Bear, who is 50 years old. The Paddington Bear TV series played a small role in my childhood. The five-minute shows would be on just before the six o’clock news on BBC1 just as the children’s TV programs were wrapping up for the evening. The voice of Michael Hordern comes back to me very clearly.
Of course, Paddington did sell out - check out his attempt to flog Marmite, the most disgusting substance known to man.
