I was watching some of the TV episodes of Paddington just a few weeks ago. That old stop go motion series was so well done in such a quirky style.
I'm more of a fan of Paddington now than when I was a kid, shame to see that Mr. Bond has gone.

I'm in the same boat. don't know what it is about the old episodes, there just something so captivating about them. currently trying to get my 2 year old into it

It's things like

"Help" called Paddington quietly, because he didn't want to bother anyone.

Tomorrow it'll be marmalade on my toast instead of Marmite (ok, Tesco yeast spread, which is superior these days). Thanks and RIP.
