 Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Paddington is a TV series of 5 minute shorts that ran from 1975 to 1986. The unique visual style (Paddington himself is a stuffed bear filmed in stop-motion, the backgrounds are black-and-white line drawings and the other characters are 2D paper cutouts) and catchy theme tune led to it becoming a well-loved childhood favorite in Britain.It is based on the Paddington Bear books by Michael Bond, about the antics of a small anthropomorphic brown bear who lives with an ordinary London family. Paddington is usually seen wearing a blue duffel coat (a somewhat old-fashioned warm coat fastened by toggles) and rather shapeless black hat.The series is narrated, including all the character voices, by Sir Michael Hordern.There have been three other Animated Series based off Paddington since, first by Hanna-Barbera in 1989, The New Adventures of Paddington Bear by Cinar in the late 90s, and The Adventures of Paddington in 2020.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })A Paddington live-action movie was released at the end of 2014, with Ben Whishaw as the voice of Paddington. A 3-Disc DVD Collector's Edition of the whole series was also released by Mill Creek Entertainment.

 Ambiguous Syntax: In the episode where Paddington helps Mr. Curry with his plumbing, they hit a problem with a stuck valve. Mr. Curry has the solution: "Take hold of the mallet, and when I nod my head, you hit it." You can guess what happens next....

 And I'm the Queen of Sheba: In the episode where Paddington visits a waxwork museum, he poses in one of the displays to hide from an irate attendant, resulting in a woman remarking that if that's an accurate depiction of Oliver Cromwell joining the Ironsides, she's the Queen of Sheba.

 Accidental Bid: Paddington Bear once went to an auction. He found it a very friendly place. People kept on waving at him, so naturally he waved back... note He did end up getting a marmalade serving set for sixpence.
