00:00« Mr and Mrs Brown first met Paddington on a railway station, which was how he came
00:13to have such an unusual name for a bear.
00:16They were waiting for their daughter, Judy, when Mr Brown caught sight of him sitting
00:20on an old suitcase behind a pile of mail bags.
00:23As they drew near, he stood up and politely raised his hat.
00:26« Good afternoon, » he said, « can I help you? »
00:29« Well, no, » said Mr Brown, « we were wondering if we could help you.
00:33»
00:34« You're a very small bear, » said Mrs Brown, « where are you from? »
00:37« Darkest Peru, » said the bear, « I'm not really supposed to be here at all, I'm a stowaway.
00:43I came all the way in a lifeboat, and I ate marmalade, bears like marmalade.
00:48I used to live with my Aunt Lucy, but she had to go into a home for retired bears, so
00:52I emigrated.
00:53»
00:55« Oh, Aunt Lucy always said she wanted me to emigrate when I was old enough, but now
00:59that I have, I'm not quite sure what to do next. »
01:05As he bent down, the Browns caught sight of a label round his neck.
01:07It said, « Please look after this bear, thank you. »
01:12It was the kind of label you couldn't possibly ignore, and in no time at all, things began
01:15to happen.
01:18Mrs Brown thought of a name for him, Paddington, and while she went off to look for Judy,
01:24Mr Brown was put in charge of ordering some refreshments.
01:27« Paddington, Paddington, come along Paddington, » said Mr Brown, « I expect you're hungry
01:35after your long journey.
01:36»
01:37« I am, » said Paddington, « very. »
01:44Paddington had never been taken out to tea before, and he was very excited.
01:47« I don't suppose there are many bears who've been inside a buffet, Mr Brown, » he exclaimed.
01:54« No, » said Mr Brown, « especially one with buns. »
02:05« I think perhaps I'd better sit down. »
02:07« Yes, » said Mr Brown, trying hard to pretend that he had tea with a bear every day of his
02:13life.
02:14« Hello, Mrs Brown, » called Paddington as he caught sight of the others, « don't
02:18go away, we're in here. »
02:21« Watch out, » shouted Mr Brown, but he was too late.
02:25Paddington was already up to his knees in trouble.
02:28« Henry, » cried Mrs Brown, « what are you doing? »
02:32« What am I doing? »
02:34« Look at him, he's all covered in jam and cream, I've never seen such a mess, I don't
02:38know what the manageress will say. »
02:40« Or the taxi driver, » said Judy.
02:42« Taxi driver? »
02:44« Judy's right, » said Mrs Brown, « we can't leave him here, not in his present state. »
02:49« Don't worry, » Mrs Brown called Paddington, « I'll clear up the mess. »
02:53« Bears are good at clearing up messes. »
03:03« Number 32, Windsor Gardens, please, as quickly as you can. »
03:07« Not too quickly, » called Mrs Brown, « we've two more to come. »
03:11« Is that one of them? » asked the driver.
03:18« He's covered in white stuff. »
03:20« It's only cream, » said Judy.
03:22« I dare say, » said the driver, « but bears is sixpence extra. »
03:25« Sticky bears is ninepence. »
03:27« Ninepence extra? » exclaimed Paddington hotly.
03:30He directed a hard stare at the driver.
03:33He seemed to go a funny shade of pink.
03:36« Gosh, » said Judy, « how did you learn to do that? »
03:39« My Aunt Lucy taught me, » said Paddington, « she said it might come in useful one day. »
03:43« Mary, » said Mr Brown, « are you sure we're doing the right thing? »
03:47« That, » said Mrs Brown, « remains to be seen. »
03:50« I've never had a bear about the house before, »
03:52« but I have a feeling things may never be quite the same again. »
