London.

Oh, right.

Yes.

Manners.

Here goes.

Good morning.

Really tipping it down, isn’t it?

Strange.

How do you do?

I’m just looking for a home.

And I.

Hello?

Excuse me.

Does anyone know where I.

where I can find a home?

Anyone?

Passengers are reminded to keep their

belongings with them at all times.

Unattended items will be taken away

and could be destroyed.

Oh, dear.

Oh, hello.

You hungry?

Me, too.

But this is all I’ve got left.

It’s really just for emergency.

Oh, go on then.

Ah, right, I see what I’ve done.

Come on, you can’t all be having emergencies.

Can you all just go away, please?

I need to look presentable.

That was so boring.

I’m sorry you feel like that,

but it was my week to choose and I

enjoyed the Victorian Wool Experience.

At least we spent time together

as a family.

And we learnt a lot about wool.

Did you have fun, pumpkin?

It’s Judy, and it was fine

until you jumped in the lake.

It’s a bathing pond.

It’s what you’re supposed to do.

Not naked!

Well, I forgot my costume.

Jonathan, don’t jump like that.

Seven per cent of childhood accidents start with jumping.

If I’m gonna be an astronaut.

You’re not “gonna” be.

You can be whatever you want, peanut.

Oh, stranger danger.

What?

Keep your eyes down.

There’s some sort of bear over there.

Probably selling something.

Good evening.

No, thank you.

Oh, dear.

Must be doing something wrong.

Hello there.

Mary!

Oh.

Hello.

Coming down in stair rods, isn’t it?

Oh.

Yes.

Mum.

I hope you don’t mind me asking,

but shouldn’t you be at home?

Oh, yes, I should.

But I haven’t quite worked out how to find one.

Where are your parents?

They died when I was small.

Here we go.

All I have left is my aunt.

And where’s she?

Darkest Peru.

In the home for retired bears.

Yeah, course she is.

How did you get here?

I stowed away in a lifeboat.

Cool!

And ate marmalade.

Did you know bears like marmalade?

I didn’t even know bears could talk.

Well, I’m a very rare bear.

There aren’t many of us left.

And what are you going to do now?

Well, I thought I would probably just sleep over there in that bin.

That’s the spirit.

Anyway.

Dad!

Why don’t we find you some help?

Oh, yes, please.

If you’re sure it’s no trouble?

Of course it isn’t.

Is it, darling?

Not at all.

Oh, yes, that is good.

So.

What’s your name?

Hmm?

Do bears even have names?

Of course we do.

My name is.

Beg your pardon?

Right.

Well, go on.

Hmm?

You try it.

Back of the throat.

Mr Brown, that is extremely rude.

Oh, at last.

Oh.

Er, wait for me.

Is someone coming to get him?

Everyone’s gone.

He’ll have to come with us.

No way.

Dad!

Stay where you are.

He’s so embarrassing.

We can’t leave him here.

We can.

He’s not our responsibility.

He’s a young bear who needs our help, Henry.

It’s just for one night, until we can

find the right people to look after him.

There you are.

OK.

Yes!

Excuse me?

Hello.

I’m dreadfully sorry,

I don’t actually know your name.

Well, I’ve got a bear name, but it seems

to be rather hard to pronounce.

That’s not ripe.

Perhaps you’d like an English name.

An English name?

Like what?

Oh, look, Henry, it’s perfect.

You want to call him Ketchup?

Ketchup the bear?

Paddington!

Paddington?

Paddington.

Pa-dding-ton.

Paddington!

Sorry!

I like it.

Well, then, Paddington, how would you like to come home with us?

Oh!

What sort of route do you call that?

Well, the young bear said it was his first time in London.

I thought I’d show him the sights.

Should’ve charged more!

Keep the change.

Cheer up, mate.

Might never happen.

Darling, have you got your keys?

Come on, Paddington.

Oh, yes.

But this.

this is wonderful!

Do you know,

I was actually beginning to think

nobody would give me a home,

but this.

That’s ripe.

This will suit me down to the ground.

Thank you very much.

We’re not giving you a home.

Oh?

It’s just for the night.

You see, when a young person comes to this country,

I’m afraid they don’t just move in

with the first people they meet.

No?

You need a proper guardian.

What’s that?

A grown-up who takes you

into their home and looks after you.

Like you?

Yes, well, I suppose so.

But not you?

No.

We don’t do that.

It’s normally someone you know.

But what if you don’t know anybody?

In that case, the authorities will house you in some kind of government facility.

What?

Like an orphanage?

No, no, no, not an orphanage.

It would be more like an institution for young souls

whose parents have sadly passed on.

Oh.

Well, what about the explorer?

Who?

The man who visited us in Darkest Peru.

He said we’d always be welcome.

Well, what’s his name?

You could go now.

Ooh, well, I don’t know his human name.

My uncle and aunt hadn’t learnt

much English back then,

so they always called him.

There can’t be that many explorers

who’ve been to Peru.

Maybe we can find him.

Without a name?

I wouldn’t get your hopes up.

Right, come on, you Pyjamas.

Jonathan!

Walk

Don’t worry, Paddington.

We’ll find him.

Oh, thank you.

Let’s look in the encyclopaedia,

unless, of course,

you’d like to freshen up first.

I beg your pardon?

You know, use the facilities?

Most people do after a long journey.

Oh.

Well, if that’s what most people do,

then I’d like to do that.

Top of the stairs.

Top of the.

Ah, stairs.

OK.

You’re going that way.

Got it.

Are you alright?

All good.

Hello.

This is Henry Brown.

32 Windsor Gardens.

I just need to add something

to my home insurance policy.

Well, what it is, is we have

a guest for the night, a bear,

and I just needed some extra cover for any da.

Yes, a bear.

No, a real one.

About three foot six.

Grizzly?

Not particularly.

Mind you, I haven’t seen him in the mornings.

So, how much would that be?

Batten down the hatches, young ‘un.

There’ll be a storm tonight.

The radio said it was clearing up.

Radio!

I feel it in my knees.

My knees never lie.

Guess what, Mrs Bird!

We found a bear!

Uh-huh.

A real bear from Peru!

That’s nice, dear.

You don’t seem very surprised.

I gave up being surprised when

they came up with the microwave oven.

And I still don’t trust you.
