"A bear on Paddington Station" said Mrs Brown in amazement. "Don't be silly - there can't be." The Browns first met Paddington on a railway station - Paddington station,in fact. He had travelled all the way from Darkest Peru with only a jar of marmalade,a suitcase and his hat. The Browns soon find that Paddington is a very unusual bear. Ordinary things - like having a bath,travelling underground or going to the seaside become quite extraordinary,if a bear called Paddington is involved.

Michael Bond
Sometime BBC cameraman Michael Bond was inspired by a last-remaining puppet bear on Selfridges shelf and memories of wartime evacuees to create possibly the most beloved character in children's literature. Paddington debuted in 1958's A Bear Called Paddington,returning in a number of stories that Bond continued to craft until his passing in 2017. A BBC animated series elevated Bond's concept to almost cult-like status. Aside from Paddington,Bond also created two other series: Olga da Polga (kicking off with 1973's The Tales Olga da Polga) and Monsieur Pamplemousse,a culinary mystery series for adults.
