The Adventures of PADDINGTON BEAR

*THE ADVENTURES OF PADDINGTON*

Dear Aunt Lucy,
Episode Title: "Paddington Chooses a Best Friend" 1 of 2

today, I learned
that you can have a best friend.

It all started this morning.

I was at my first ever raffle.

Judy, what exactly is a raffle?

Well, Sofia will pull out
a ticket from the drum,

and whoever has the ticket
wins a prize.

Oh, how exciting!

I hope the prize is a scooter.

- Or a flying scooter.
- Oh, that would be so cool.

Or a marmalade sandwich!

Or, even better,
two marmalade sandwiches.



And the winner is…

- Please be me. Please be me.
- Flying scooter.

Marmalade sandwich.

Oh, that's a receipt.

Number 567.

Um… Oh!

Paddington, that's your ticket!

Oh, no, Judy.

- My ticket's right here in my paw.
- You're the winner.

See? You have the matching ticket!

Well, I never!

Everyone! Paddington's won!

Well done, Paddington.

Wonderful!

You have won a free meal

for two people

here at my café,

tonight!

First of all, I'd like to thank
the Brown family for taking me in

when I...

Paddington,
you don't need to make a speech.

Oh! If you say so.
Thank you very much, Sofia!

A meal for two?
Who are you going to take with you?

Hmm. I don't know.

Who would you take?

Well, I'd take my best friend, Mateo.

- No of fence, Jonathan.
- Don't worry.

I'd rather go with my best friend.

- Who's that?
- Bally!

Yeah! Woohoo!

I've never had a best friend,
so I wouldn't know who to take.

Well, the meal's tonight,
so you have to choose one quickly.

You're right.
I do need to find a best friend.

And fast.

Uh, how do you know
when someone is your best friend?

I guess when you enjoy their company
best of all.

Oh! Thank you, Judy!

- I might go this way, actually.
- Okay, Paddington.

With Judy's advice in mind,
I set about trying to find my best friend.

Huh? Oh!

Hello, Pigeonton!

Oh! Um… Pigeonton,
do you have a best friend?

Me neither.

I don't suppose we could be
best friends, Pigeonton?

Shall we find out?

Ahem!

Hmm?

Whoa!

I'm okay!

Oh, my!

Wow!

Woohoo!

So, Aunt Lucy,

I was pretty certain
Pigeonton was my best friend until…

I found myself
at Mr. Gruber's shop,

playing a game called chess.

Hmm.

Hmm.

Hmm. Hmm. Hmm.

Hmm.

- Hmm.
- Hmm.

Oh!

Aha! The knight gallops
to the end of the board.

Oh!

Oh, no!

This is a disgrace!

It's the Queen!

Run!

They're gaining on us!

No!

Whoa!

Aha! We've lost them!

Run!

Quick!

Whoa!

- Hurray!
- Whee!

I had the most fun, Aunt Lucy.

And, by the end of it,
I was certain I had two best friends,

Pigeonton and Mr. Gruber.

But who was I going to take to dinner?

And what if I had even more
best friends I didn't yet know about?

Let me get this straight.

You think you and I
might be best friends?

Quite possibly, Mr. Curry.

Don't get me wrong,
I've grown to… put up with you.

Thank you!

But I don't think
we are best friends.

Good day.

That's a shame. I was going to take
my best friend out for a free dinner.

Paddington! My best friend!

Please, come on in!

Ooh! Make yourself at home!

Oh, thank you.

So…
wanna do some "cool friend" stuff?

Oh, yes. Why not?

You seem very… happy,

Mr. Curry.

Ha! Yes!

Oh, how rude of me!

Is there anything I can offer you?

Well, I wouldn't mind a snack,
please.

- Jam sandwiches, right?
- Uh… marmalade.

Coming right up!

Free dinner to save me cooking
tonight would be lovely!

There!

How is it?

It's nice.

You can… really taste the bread.

Although Mr. Curry
doesn't make the best sandwiches,

he is most certainly a best friend.

With dinner fast approaching,

I decided to try my best

not to make any more best friends,

so I wouldn't be
letting anyone down.

Ooh!

Hello, Lucky!
I'd love to play, but...

Woof, woof!

Okay,

we'll play fetch.
But just the once.

Three hundred and sixty-four…

Three hundred and sixty-five.

So, Aunt Lucy,
Lucky became my best friend too,

and he wasn't the last.

Now I come to think of it,
during my time in Windsor Gardens…

I've made a lot of best friends.

Goal!

Now I had so many best friends,

it was time
for me to make a decision.

Who was I going to take
to Sofia's café for dinner?

I couldn't help thinking that, maybe,
I should cancel the whole thing.

Does anybody know why we're all here?

- No.
- Me neither.

Well, all I know
is Paddington told me to be here

for something very important.

Ahem!

Welcome, everybody. You're probably
wondering why you are here.

- Yes!
- Yes, I am wondering.

Well, I needed to find a best friend
to take to dinner.

But it turns out

I don't have a best friend.

Oh!

Because…

All of you are my best friends.

- Aw!
- What?

I'm supposed to decide which one
of you will come to dinner with me.

Hee, hee, hee, hee!

And the answer is…

Everyone!

So, Aunt Lucy, dinner for two
turned into dinner for everyone.

And we even had
marmalade pizza for dessert.

You see,
all my friends are my best friends.

Love from Paddington.

Dear Aunt Lucy,
Episode Title: "Paddington and the Lamp Post" 2 of 2

this week, I had to help a friend
find a new home.

It all began
when I went to visit Mr. Gruber.

- Good morning, Mr. Gruber.
- Good morning, Paddington.

Oh, I didn't know
lampposts needed watering.

Will that make it grow bigger?

You are a rare sort of bear.

I'm not watering the lamppost.

I'm watering
the hanging basket of flowers.

How wonderful.

Having these beautiful flowers
outside my shop really cheers me up.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I didn't know you were in there.

Pigeonton!

How are you?

What are you doing up there?

Oh, there's a nest!

I think your friend
Pigeonton's been living here.

What an odd place for a home.

Hmm. Not necessarily.

Pigeons can live
in many different places.

And a hanging basket
does make a very pretty nest.

Huh?

I'm afraid your pigeon friend
will have to look for a new home.

This lamppost
is going to be removed tomorrow.

Oh, no! Why?

The council are replacing them
with modern ones

without hanging baskets.

I tried to fight the decision,
but there was nothing I could do.

I'm very sorry.

Hmm.

Ah! Well, we can just move the basket
somewhere else.

I think it's attached.

I'm sure I can…

One minute!

Yes, I'm pretty sure it's attached.

But if the lamppost is removed,
where will Pigeonton live?

Wait! What about inside your shop,
Mr. Gruber?

What a good idea!

What a bad idea!

This probably isn't the best place
for a pigeon to live.

Come on, Pigeonton!

I'll find you a new home before
the lamppost comes down tomorrow.

Goodbye, Mr. Gruber!

Thank goodness!

You could live on a boat.

I don't know
why I didn't think of it earlier.

I know it seems odd,
but lots of people live on houseboats.

The great thing about living
on a boat is your house can move

whenever you want it to.

As long as there's water, of course.

You just have to sail it away.

And you know who else lives on boats?

Pirates!

You could be Pigeonton the Pirate.

Calm seas, Captain Pigeonton.

Wait. Pirates right ahead!

Quick! They're gaining on us!

- Aha!
- Huh?

Ah! Paddington!

No!

Sorry, Mr. Curry.
I think I got a little carried away.

Finding Pigeonton a new home
was becoming a real emergency.

Then I remembered someone I could
always contact in an emergency.

So, if Pigeonton doesn't find a new home,
I don't know what will happen.

Do you have any ideas
where he could stay?

Well, I'm sure we can find somewhere.

Oh!

He looks quite at home.

Perhaps he could stay there.

No!
You mustn't play with the controls!

Oh, dear! Pigeonton!

I don't think
this is going to work out!

I can't hear you!

I don't think
this is going to work out!

- That's what I said!
- Pardon?

I said,
"This isn't going to work out!"

That's what I said!

Oh, sorry.

This isn't going to work out.

Of course, Paddington.

Pigeonton is more than welcome
to stay here.

Oh, thank you, Miss Potts.

I'm sure he'll be right at home.

Ah!

I think he likes it.

Finally, it's all worked out.

I was beginning to worry
we'd never find him a new home.

I hope Pigeonton
doesn't mind a bit of music.

I've got a recital coming up
and I need to practise.

Oh, no. I'm sure that will be fine.

What instrument is it? Violin?

No.

Drums.

Oh!

It is very noisy, isn't it?

Uh, sorry, Miss Potts.

How long will you be practising for?

Oh, not long.

But a lot of people
have booked this space today.

So it's going to be very busy.

♪ Mi, mi, mi, mi, mi ♪

- ♪ Mi, mi, mi, mi, mi ♪
- ♪ Pom, pom, pom, pom ♪

♪ Pom, pom, pom ♪

One, two, three, four…

One, two, three, four…

One, two, three, four…

Oh! Phew!

Oh, hello, Miss Potts.

You're not going to practise
the drums again, are you?

No. I'm practising
for my upcoming dance performance.

It's got lasers!

Oh! It's perfect!

It's a house, it's outside,

there's plenty of room.

- Hi, Paddington.
- Hi, Pigeonton.

What are you doing here?

The lamppost
Pigeonton has been living in

is being taken away tomorrow,
so I'm trying to find him a new home.

I thought maybe he could stay here.

Okay, as long as he doesn't get
in the way of our school projects.

Won't even know he's here.

Pigeonton seems very interested
in your project, Jonathan.

- What is it?
- It's the solar system.

Oh, dear! Maybe if I just…

Oh, no!

Ooh! Whoa!

Oh… I think we should be going.

Come on, Pigeonton.

We'll find you somewhere...

I'm okay!

I don't know
what we're going to do, Pigeonton.

We've still not found you a new home.

If we don't find you one by tomorrow,

then you might have to move far away.

And I'd like you to live near me.

Wait a minute. That's it!

You can live with me!

I don't know
why I didn't think of it sooner.

Night-night, Pigeonton.

I thought I'd finally found
the perfect new home

for Pigeonton.

Morning, Pigeonton!

Pigeonton?

He was gone!

But I had a good idea where.

I found Pigeonton
somewhere new to live,

but I suppose this is the only place
that feels like home to him.

Are you sure there's no way
the lamppost can stay, Miss Potts?

Oh, I tried, but the council
have said it's final.

Their workman's already here.

Poor Pigeonton!

I'd better get him down.

I'm sorry, Pigeonton, but I'm sure
we'll find somewhere else

as nice and pretty as your basket.

Oh, what's that?

Hmm.

Oh, my!

That's a very rare marking.

That means Pigeonton

is a very rare
breed of blue-spotted pigeon.

This changes everything!

Huh?

Miss Potts, there's been a mistake.

No, Paddington. The lamppost
certainly can't come down now.

Pigeonton's nest
is a rare-bird habitat.

- Stop the work!
- It's okay. We haven't started yet.

Stop it now!

Hurray!

You're allowed to stay here,
Pigeonton!

I was so pleased to see Pigeonton
stay in his home, Aunt Lucy.

Because when you have
a home you love,

it wouldn't be fair
to have to live anywhere else.

And now Pigeonton's
a very rare sort of pigeon

and I'm a very rare sort of bear,

we've got even more in common.

Love from Paddington.
