Paddington 1976 TV Series "Paddington Makes A Clean Sweep" Review


Paddington is a character that really doesn't need an introduction as the character has been entertaining people for literally generations. Be it threw the books or the more recent live action films this bear has captured the hearts and souls of millions with his first TV series perhaps being the more loved TV series that the character has been in and it's another episode of that show that i'm going to be talking to you all about today and so then join me as I review the episode that is quite literally a nothing episode with the episode in question being called simply just "Paddington Makes A Clean Sweep" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is when Mrs. Brown and Mrs. Bird leave Paddington at home with a chimney sweeping kit he takes it upon himself to clean the Browns chimney for them. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty OK at best. To put it simply this episode has a complete nothing of a plot as the plot just boils down to Paddington wants to do something and then he does it and that's it which for an episode of this show isn't that good as this shows plots did typically show Paddington getting into trouble before doing what he wanted to do in the first place. Yet here as there is so little build up and so little plot to the episode the episodes plot does come across as being a nothing episode with it feeling like that the plot was deemed to be secondary to whatever Paddington was doing at the time and while yes of course in any TV show you are going to get episodes that do have more weaker plots here as the rest of these first series plots are so strong in there own right it does make this episode stand out all the more due to the fact that the plot itself does feel a bit on the weaker side of things and heck one could argue that this is a plot that would have been better served if it was mixed in with a plot with another episode heck this episodes plot would have been better if it was apart of the plot of the episode "Something Nasty In The Kitchen" as there you have the inbuilt reason as to why Mrs and Mr. Brown can't help Paddington out and he would want to help out by helping the cleaning the house as well as look after them whereas here the plot just felt like that it was lacking that extra special something with the plot of this episode also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.



Starring in this episode is Sir Michael Hordern with him being just as good as you think that he would be in this episode. As he does have the right voice to help to bring Paddington and the other characters to life and heck there are only four characters in this episode and he does a good job of making the male characters those being Paddington and the Chimney Sweeper sound distinctive enough as he gives the chimney sweeper more of an east end accent he same thing cannot be said for the female characters tho those of course being Mrs. Brown and Mrs. Bird as the two of them do sound very similar with none of them not even being given that much of an accent to help to make them sound differently from each other. Yet with Paddington and the chimney sweeper if you closed your eyes and just listened to the audio you'd be able to tell just who is who as the two as those voices sound very differently from each other this was also the same issue that Sir Ringo Starr had when he was doing the first series of Thomas & Friends as he made alot of the character sound similar and while it's not as bad in this episode due to the fact that it is only localized to those two characters it is something that should have been fixed but this review is being written with the added benefit of hindsight therefor there is a chance that back in 1976 people might have been able to tell he voices of Mrs. Brown and Mrs. Bird apart and while it's not really an issue with the episode as a whole as the characters only appear at the start and end of the episode and that's really it it is something that could have been fixed as it would given Sir Michael Hordern the chance to show off just what kind of voices that he could do as he is good as those characters it's just the voices that he uses for them that needed to be worked on not the performance for them.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. With it being obvious as to why Sir Michael Hordern was chosen to be the voices of these characters as he is so good in this episode due to the fact that he does have a rather calming voice to him that does help to make the events seen in not only this episode but in other episodes seem all the more charming with his performance in this episode in particular being a really good example of this as while Paddington is of course causing trouble Sir Michael Hordern gives us a performance makes Paddington seem innocent and more polite. With the best actor in this episode of being Sir Michael Hordern as the man is just so good in not only this show but in this episode as well as you can tell that he is treating this as if it where a film made for adults or something that adults would enjoy as he's not being over the top and giving a performance that talks down to kids rather he is giving us a performance that is worthy of all of these characters as he does put in alot of thought and effort into his performance and it is something that does show as he very easily could have treated not only this episode but the show as a whole as something that's beneath him as it's for kid and he was a film actor but he didn't and that is something that does need to be recognised as he is just so good in this episode with his natural charm really shining through in this performance in this episode. With the acting that's in this very episode really being helped by the fact that this episodes script is just so good that all this episodes actor really has to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance really will come out of him naturally which is something that really does help to raise the overall quality of the acing that's in this very episode. 


Doing the animation for this episode is the legends and the greats that really are currently over at FilmFair. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. The fact that we have some really good animation in this episode is something that really isn't all that surprising as this show does have some really high quality animation in all of it's episodes with this episode of course being of no exception to this rule as you can see right away that the makers of this episode have given this episodes animation alot of thought and effort. With there being alot of stopmotion sequences in this episode that would have been very time consuming to pull off like for example Paddington eating his breakfast which yes is a simple shot to do but it's also one that would have taken all day to film and it looks really good as a result of it or even Paddington struggling to pull the top of the Brown's chimney of his head which again does sound like a really simple shot but given the fact that it's essentially a stop motion show it is something that would have taken alot of time to film, where the episodes animation quality does somewhat dip is in the 2D animation as the characters that are 2D animated don't really appear all that much in the episode and when they do appear there movements do look a little bit stilted which is fair enough as they are not the main characters of the episode Paddington is but it still wo8ld have been nice if there animation was given as much care and attention as the animation for Paddington quite clearly was.


This episode is the very definition of a nothing episode as nothing all that much actually happens in the episode. This is something that does make the episode out to quite forgettable as it the episode doesn't really have all that much going on it which is something that would have been fine if the plot of this episode was part of the plot of another episode as then you could kind of forgive one portion of an episode for not being that good however tho this is meant to be the whole episode and the episode might as well have ended when Paddington did clean out the Browns chimney as that was what he wanted to do for them in the first place and yet the episode keeps on going for no reason when then the main plot of the episode has good as well finished. Look far enough this is something that might also be true for the book that this episode is adapted from called "Paddington Marches On" but in that book it would have had several other stories in i and therefor having one bad or slightly bad story in a book that might have several good stories isn't all that bad but as this is the meant to be the main episode there really should have been more thought out into the episode and not just make it an episode where Paddington reaches his gal within the first few minuets of the episode as all this ends up doing is making the rest of the episode feel pointless, fair enough you have to to have Paddington messing up somehow and that's fair and to be fair to this episode this episode does give an understandable reason for him to mess up however the episode should have been building up to him messing up like for example what if in the episode Paddington tries and fails to put the kit together with all of his attempts to mend the situation just making worst only or when he does finally get the kit together that's when Mrs. Brown and Mrs. Bird come back from the shops and see the mess that he's made and make him clean it up that would make alot of sense as your building up to him messing up something which you know full well that he is going to do in someway shape or form.

The idea for the episode is a very good idea as it does allow for Paddington to get into trouble in a new way. However tho the episode misses a trick as instead of it being revealed that Paddington just got his head stuck in the chimney why not have it be that he got stuck in the fire place and have him be covered head to toe in soot if your going to hint that he might have fallen into the fireplace then why not all the way with it and make that the big ending moment and have it be the main big thing that Paddington screwed up as afterall he was just trying to help the Browns out and yet for one reason or another the makers of this episode not only went the other way but they also didn't show the device getting more lodged in the first fire place after Paddington went up on the roof top to get it. It might sound like that I really hate this episode but I really don't it's just that when you compare this episode to he other episodes of this first series all of which knock it out of the park every single time then this episode does come up as being a bit short as while the idea for the episode is a good one where it fails is in the execution of the idea as having Paddington trying to clean the Browns chimney is one that does allow for plenty of comedy to be had even of it's just Paddington messing up the house that is something that would still work for this episode as it is something that he character would indeed do and we know from the first Paddington film he has done that and it therefor wouldn't be out of character for hm to do something like that in this episode, whilst this is very much a nothing episode it could be argued that this is part of the episodes charm as it does show the every day life of this family and while it does add some charm to the episode it is also something that really wasn't needed for the episode as all it ends up doing is making this episode a pointless one to watch in the grand scheme of things. 


To say something nice about the episode it's simple plot and set does allow for a character like Paddington to be his usual cute and charming self. With him just trying to do the best that he can do in a situation that he know nothing about for people that he clearly cares deeply for this is one of the episodes biggest strengths as part of the charm of the Paddington franchise is just seeing this lovable bear just trying to do the best that he can do and seeing how he messes everything up with this being something that the episode does get right as for everything that Paddington does do right in this episode something happens that causes him to do something wrong and seeing how he does try to fix things before its to late does show us the audience why Paddington is still as beloved today as was back in previous decades. To compare this episode to another show that had a nothing episode in this case the Worzel Gummidge episode "A Little Learning" which also had the main character achieve there goal before the end of the episode both of the episodes have plots that allow for the main character to not only to get into trouble in a believable way for those characters but it also allows them to be there usual charming selves which in both cases is more then enough to make both of these episodes worth watching as even tho this episode isn't that good we are still getting lots of scenes with Paddington just being cute and trying to fix things before they get out of hand and in Worzel Gummidge we have the main character doing everything that he can to not cause that much trouble all while doing exactly that this is something that does allow for the characters of both episodes to be there more charming selves as it will always be fun seeing Paddington get things wrong and try to put them right much like how it will always be fun seeing Worzel trying and failing to avoid getting into trouble.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly five minuets and ten seconds. Which is pretty much the bogstandard running time for this show and to be fair to this episode given it's incredibly thin premise it rally didn't need to be all that much longer as if the episode was longer then it would have been stretching what was a thin premise even thinner which would have resulted in there being alot of filler scenes in there just to pad out the episode when if truth be told this is the kind of the episode where the shorter the running time is the better the episode would end up being as us the audience wouldn't be forced to focus on it's issues all that long with the episode having more then enough plot there to really cover that amount of running time in the first place. However this this episode really doesn't use its running tome all that wisely as the episode really doesn't take the time to fully develop its plot which fair enough is something that could also be said for alot of the shows other episodes as well but given the fact that this episodes plot was already really thin it is something that could have used something quite literally anything that would give the episodes plot some kind of plot development as we don't even get to find out where Mr , Jonathon and Judy Brown are in the episode and nor do we find out why they've chose to have there chimney cleaned in the first place with the makers of this episode being more focused on showing us scenes with Paddington putting together and taking apart the brush to clean the chimney then they are in giving the episodes plot development. This is something that does also effect the episodes character development which again to be fair to this episode is something that you do just have to expect with a show like this as it is an episodic show and therefor the characters aren't going to be getting characters development but it still would have been nice if Paddington himself got to have some character development with the makers of this episode being more focused of showing us Paddington cleaning a chimney then they were in giving its characters any form of characters development but i really will admit that this episode really does have some really good pacing to it tho.


So now then as this is a comedy that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally tought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. The comedy in this episode was one of the episodes strongest points as it is really good as while it is just yes Paddington finding a new way to mess things up here tho in this episode it wasn't his fault as he didn't that the end of the stick was prone to coming detached at the top of a chimney and yet he still went to try and fix it with this being something that does speak to how Paddington is as he is just trying to do his best and yet his best always ends up with him messing something up in cute and funny ways. With the best joke in the episode being when its discovered that when trying to dislodge the end of the stick himself Paddington actually got his own head stuck in the Browns chimney with him being unable to remove it as it's quite hard to do with paws with him even being unable to raise his hate to the chimney sweeper because of it which is just such a cute gag to end the episode as that is something that Paddington would do and those are things that he would say and they both work well with the thing that makes them work as well as they do oddly enough being the fact that the episode does have this simple premise with everything being set up quite early one which does allow for the episode to just be funny with the episodes ending joke being a very good example of this and it is something that might well have been effected if the episode did have a more stronger plot to it with the rest of the episodes jokes being just as good as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall whilst this episode might very well be the weakest episode in this show it is still a really charming episode its own right despite its flaws with the episode itself also allowing the characters to be there usual charming and funny selves and while yes the episode could have been alot better if it was more better then the episode would lose alot of the charm that it presently has in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very episode really does earn itself a grand old score f exactly a 6 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from Blogger and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very episode that I used in this very post being the really great Google Images really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this very episode with alot of them really being really better quality then what you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on Google Images really are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Paddington 1976 Tv Series "Do-It-Yourself" Review


Paddington is a character that really does need no introduction and yet due to the fact that not alot of people know of his animated series. Alot of people just assume that his piece of media was the 2014 film with the episode that i'm going to be talking to you all about today being a good example of just how good hearted and well meaning that Paddington is as a character something does stand out about him and helped to make him a charming character in his own right and so then join me as I review the episode that sees Mr. Curry foolishly let Paddington try to make a magazine rack with the episode in question being called simply just "Do-It-Yourself" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is after a reading a magazine article about how to build a magazine rack Paddington decides to have a go himself even offering to make one for Mr. Curry. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. The episodes plot is best described in one word and that word is simple as that's exactly what it is in all of the best ways possible it's a simple plot that has a short premise that allows you to fully enjoy the character of Paddington just getting himself into trouble. Not all plots of any show regardless of whom they are made for need to be dark and complex in order for them to work as sometimes all you need to have is just a sweet ad simple premise and that's exactly what we got in this episode a plot that is very easy to follow along with and that doesn't require you to think that much about it as part of what makes the plot for this episode work is Paddington himself as here he is allowed to be his usual charming and just be fun and that is something that wouldn't be able to happen if the plot to this episode was dark and complex as the episode would need to cut out alot of what makes this plot work to make it complex in the first place and whilst yes granted this episodes plot could have been helped if it was in a longer episode but for this show and for this episode it works just fine with the plot of this episode also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this episode is of Sir Michael Hordern who is just so likable in this episode as he is in all of other episodes of this show. With him bringing his own unique charm to the show and given the fact that I've seen alot of the episodes both for the purposes of reviewing them and for my own genuine entertainment as the show is just that I good I feel safe in saying that he was the right person for the role of the narrator much like how Sir Ringo Starr was at that time the right person to bring Thomas And Friends to life as Sir Michael does have a really calming almost relaxing voice which is something that does make him right for this show as this is a show that is meant to be more relaxing in nature think of something like Camberwick Green but with a bear. As the leading character and you get the tone of the show, therefor you do need a voice that does reflect that more calming nature heck with even the fact that he does put on some small voices for the characters is something that does help to make the characters stand out as with Mrs. Bird there is a small Scottish accent and with Mr. Curry he always sounds like he's one bad day from having a complete and total breakdown with this being something that is perfect for that character as Mr. Curry is meant to be this always angry character who always wants something for nothing and that's something that does require him having a more gruff voice and with Paddington his voice is more soft almost polite which again is something that really does require a more soft spoken kind of voice with Sir Michael giving all of the characters voices that suit them perfectly something which if they had someone else doing the narration for his show really might have been lost.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. With this episode continuing the trend that is set by the rest of this show by having really good acting it with Sir Michael Hordern really proving why he was the right to be the sole actor for this show as while granted he was never to be on the same level of say Mel Blanc but for a kids TV show where the episodes are a little under five minuets each he does do a really good job of capturing all of the characters voices down perfectly. With the best and only actor in this episode being Sir Michael Hordern with it being more obvious the more that this show is on why he was knighted in the first place as he is just so good not only in this episode but in this show as a whole with it being obvious that he does have a deep level of love for these characters weather that be due to the fact that he read those stories himself or if he read them to either his own kids or any younger relatives of his and that's why he loves these characters so much either way that love is clear as day in not only this episode but in the show as a whole with it being something that does come through in his performance in this very episode. With the acting that's in this very episode really being helped by the fact that this episodes script is just so good that all this episodes actor really has to do is just the lines as they are written and a good performance will come out of them naturally which is something that really does help to raise the overall quality of the acting that's in this very episode.


Doing the animation for this episode is the legends and the greats that really are currently over at FilmFair. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. This episodes animation was quite frankly alot more better then what it really could have been as all of these episodes where all animated by the shows director Ivor Wood on his own and yet there is still a high bar of animation set for each episode with none of the episodes having animation that is bad persay. As there will of course be episodes that are better animation then others such is the case with this episode as while the quality of the animation isn't bad it's just that there are other episodes in this series that are better animated with this episode still having some good animation that does make make you wonder how they pulled it off as if the case with Paddington falling off of Mr. Curry's table or Mr. Curry opening the hole in The Brown's garden for Paddington to cross over into his own garden there are alot of scenes like this in this episode and while today you could very easily chalk this is up to them being in done in CGI and call it a day back in the seventies that was never an option and therefor the makers of this episode did have to get creative in how they pulled such things off, with Paddington himself having some really nice and fluid movements to him with the thing that does let the animation in this episode down being the fact that none of the 2D characters get to move all that and there are times where you can tell that it is stop motion animation which is something that does pull you out of the episode.


If you want a good episode that shows of just how kind and thoughtful that Paddington is then you really should look at this episode. As without question he decides to make The Browns a magazine rack just because it's a nice thing to do and without him getting anything in return for his troubles he offers to do the same for Mr. Curry which is something that he didn't have to do given the fact that Mr. Curry up until this point in the show has been quite grumpy towards Paddington often wanting something for nothing and yet Paddington is still kind to him trying to win him over as that's just the sort of bear that he is he sees the best in everyone even when they can't see it in themselves and part of that does include being kind to people who don't like him all that much at the best of times. This however might not be the best episode to show of just how helpful that the character is as he does end up causing a big mess in Mr. Curry's kitchen and then running out on him when he realises that he's in trouble which is great for a joke but it doesn't show of just how helpful that Paddington is as we know from other episodes of the show that he is the first one to offer his help when someone needs it and yet here he doesn't offer to t clean up Mr. Curry's kitchen which granted was something that he really didn't need to do but given the fact that he is meant to be this kind hearted bear it is something that he perhaps might have done, Paddington tho still does get a chance to be helpful as you could argue that him offering to make something not only for The Browns but also Mr. Curry is still him being helpful as he's making them something that for all we know they don't have.

Speaking of Mr. Curry even tho he plays a bi role in the plot of the episode he barely appears in the episode itself. With him only appearing near the start of the episode and that's it whilst granted he does speak near the end of the episode we don't see him after he lets Paddington into his own house which is a bit odd given the fact that he is a main character in this episode but it's also pretty par the course for this show as this show does have episodes where other main characters outside of Paddington don't appear all that much heck Mr. Brown isn't in the episode at all and yet the episode really isn't hurt by not having Mr. Curry be in the episode all that much as there is only so much that you could do with that character in the first place. Still tho it would have been nice to see more of him in the episode as having him interacting with Paddington whilst Paddington is working is something that could have been very comical to see and heck maybe it could have been Mr. Curry distracting Paddington and that causes Paddington to saw Mr. Curry's table in half in the first place thus adding a touch of irony to the episode but in all fairness tho we do come to this show to see Paddington and not his supporting characters and while it would have been fun to see them interacting more as there interactions in this show are usually comedy gold having Mr. Curry be in this episode more would have taken away from the show main and title character ad there is a good chance that as like all of the stories in this first series this is based on one of the Paddington books that might have been done the same way in the book and the makers of this show are just trying to be as faithful to the books as they could have done but in saying this tho seeing them interact together is alot more fun. 


The very idea of having this bear that is known for causing trouble even tho he doesn't realise it is a good idea. With the idea alone opening itself up for alot of fun scenes with both Paddington and his supporting characters and to be fair to this episode this episode does take as full advantage of that as it possibly could have done as the episode does go into great detail not only about the book that he is reading but also how it inspired him to build the magazine rack in the first place and while this episode was never going to be as good as the other episodes in this series due to the fact that the episode is lighter then usual on both plot and character this is something that does well enough to the episodes advantage that you do end forgiving it for that in the first place. While the episode would have worked by having one of The Browns at the start of the episode have a chat with Paddington before saying something like "uh-oh" when they realise what he's going to do as he is this accident prone bear that doesn't really know any better it would still be pointless to have a scene like that in the episode as well the audience know full well then that he's going to be getting to into some trouble with the fun instead coming from working out how big the trouble will be and having any member of The Browns sign post that would be shoving it down our throats and would make the part where he does get intro trouble alot less fun to watch even tho it would still give The Browns alot more to do in the episode outside of just appearing at the end of the episode, heck the episode could have found a funnier way to have Paddington avoid Mr. Curry outside of just finding out at home however in all fairness this is still a really fun episode with the idea alone being more then enough to carry the episode as the idea of this kind but clumsy bear offering to do some DIY for his neighbour really is a good enough idea in it's own right.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly four minuets and fifty seconds. This is kind of the bogstanderd running time not only for this episode and show but for alot of kids animated TV shows that were airing around the same time and to be this episode did kind of need to be this long as the episode whilst it doesn't have a big enough plot to speak off it's idea is one that does need to be set up and explained in a way that does make sense and the episode does need to have alot of time just to show the amount of ways that Paddington could possibly screw things up and make Mr. Curry unhappy with him and while the episode could have gotten away with having a shorter running time it does work just as well with it's current running time with the episode having the right amount of plot there to cover that amount of running time in the first place. Yet even so the episode doesn't fully use its running tike all that wisely as the episode doesn't take the time to fully develop it's plot as it's never really explained in the episode why Paddington has this sudden interest in building things himself and it's not explained why he wants to make something for The Browns with the only thing that we the audience can mind of make out is the reason why Mr. Curry wants a magazine rack as he found that Paddington was making one and therefor he saw a chance t get something for free however it is made clear as day that the makers of this episode did put alot more thought and effort into giving some creative animated shots then they did into giving us a well developed plot. This is something that does also effects the episodes characters development which fair enough is something that was always going to be hard given the series very short running time and while this episode doesn't really call for it it still would have been nice to see something literally anything added tho these character with the makers of this episode being more focused on giving us alot of scene with Paddington using his saw then they were in giving character development but I really will admit that this episode really does have some really good pacing to it tho. 


So now then as this is a comedy that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. The episodes comedy was to be frank really cute as it will never not be funny seeing all of the ways that Paddington tries to clean up a mess that he himself created only to end up making things much more worse for himself as that is something that will always be comedy gold as you have an unlimited amount of ways in which that will always be funny as there will always be different characters that he interacts with in an episode to make that idea funny and while he doesn't interact with Mr. Curry all that much in this episode seeing them bounce off of each is still comedy gold. With the best joke in the whole entire episode being when Paddington puts down the the sheet that he intends to use to create Mr. Curry's magazine rack on top of his own table and then starts sawing through both the sheet and unknowingly the table as well with Paddington only finding out when he does to take a sit down and the table collapses under Paddingtons weight, the comedy doesn't stop there tho rather it keeps on building and building with there being alot of small jokes in this one bigger joke and there all funny as they all feel true to who Paddington is as he never meant to cause all this damage but due to how naive he is he ended up doing so anyway with the rest of the episodes jokes being just as good as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


Overall whilst yes there are much more better episodes of this show out there this is by no means a bad episode but when your judging with the rest of this really good good show that does need alot more love and care from Paddington fans then it does come really short this is despite it being a really good episode in it's own right in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now the i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in his very episode in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very episode really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 7.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from Amazon . Co .

Paddington 1976 TV Series "Paddington In Court" Review


Paddington is someone who was for a long while a mostly forgotten about character that only people of a certain age knew about and yet thanks to the new movies and the stage musical he is a global superstar. Yet alot of the young people today don't know of or just straight up forgot about the fact that the character did star in a highly successful animated series in the seventies and well as I really love the show I thought that i'd take a look at another of the episode of the show and so then join me as I review the episode that sees Paddington go to court with the episode in question being called simply just "Paddington In Court" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is for a treat Mr. Gruber treats Paddington to day at court to watch cases being judged only for the bear to find himself in a spot in bother. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. While yes the episodes plot is indeed really simple with the title of the title of the episode even just straight up telling us what the main plot of the episode is even about in the first place this is a plot that really didn't need to be complex as this is an episode that does rely on Paddington just being his usual charming self. Granted there could have been more to this episodes plot as we don't even find out why Mr. Gruber is taking Paddington out to a day at the courts in the first place which is something that could have played into the plot of the episode in a really fun way but at the same time tho this episode really doesn't need to explain a whole lot outside of the fact that unlike in Paddington 2 where Paddington was framed for a crime the only thing that this episode needs to explain is that Paddington is here with a friend just getting ready to watch a case be discussed and that's really it and while it would have helped the episode out quite alot if the episode did have a more stronger plot to it as this episode does have one of the more weaker plots of the series that isn't something that breaks the episode as the episode still does work even with a more weaker plot with the plot of this episode also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this episode is Sir Michael Hordern with him being just as charming and delightful as he is in the rest of the show. Heck he even does give a lot of the other characters in this episode their own unique voices something which does help us the audience to tell who is speaking and when this is something that he didn't have to do of course but it is something that does make a show like this one truly standout as a lot of other kids shows from around this time period would just give the characters the same voice and yet here in not only this show but in this episode we do get a whole host of different voices like for example he gives the Judge a more pompous sounding voice while the lawyers have more of a slightly dim-witted voice to them. All of which do serve to make it alot more easier to say who is talking to who and when yet in saying this there are times where it ha to tell just which of the lawyers are talking as they do sound quite similar with the only thing that could have been done to fix this was if he maybe gave one of them an accent as even tho that would be a small thing it would go along way loke maybe one of them could have a more northern speaking accent whilst the over has a more Midwest UK country accent with this being something that expose more kids to more types of accents and it would help the world of this show feel more unique as while they do have Mr. Gruber who is German all of the characters in this show and in the films seem to be from London when there would be alot more different people with different accents and yes this is a fictional kids show so the makers of this show don't have to stick with reality but even back in the seventies there was a lot of different accents just in London alone and whilst this is doesn't effect Michaels acting it is something that would have helped alot of the characters sound more different from each other.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. With Sir Michael turning in a really good performance with it being clear as day that he does have a good amount of love and respect for not only this show and the character of Paddington himself but also the books with it feeling like that he's turning this good of a performance in not only this episode but in all of the other episodes as well due to the fact that he either has kids and he read the books to them or he has friends that have kids and he was doing the show for them. Wit him of course being the episodes best actor and while he is no Mel Blanc he does still manage to make all of the characters that he plays in this episode feel unique from each other and stand apart from each other be it from either how they react to Paddington and the things that he's saying to them or due to there accents there is always something in this episode from an acting point of view that does make the characters standout a bit with this being something that you can hear in his final performance in this episode. With the acting that's in this very episode really being helped by the fact that this episodes script is just so good that all this episodes actor has to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance will come out of him naturally which is something that really does help to raise the overall quality of the acting that's in this very episode.


Doing the animation for this episode is the legends and the really greats that are currently over at FilmFair. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. With the shows usual blend of 2D animation blending in really well with the stop motion animation done for Paddington with the episode even getting some really impressive shots that would be hard to do today due to the fact that they do blend 2D animation with 3D stopmotion therefor it would have been really hard to do in the seventies. To be frank tho you do get the feeling that the makers of this show just weren't giving it there all in this episode as the episodes animation whilst it is still good in it's own right isn't up to the high standard set by this show as alot of the time they are just using still frames for alot of there shots which yes is a great way to save time and money but it does also make the episodes animation look cheaper this was most likely done in this episode as the episode really only has one setting that being the court room and therefor the makers of this episode more then likely couldn't find away with the courtroom set to get some really good animation and therefor there more then likely chose to use still frames but at the same time tho there could have been away to make this episodes animation quality match that of the rest of the rest of the show as this is a show that does have a really high bar when it comes to its animation and whilst yes this episode does have some really good looking animation in it you can tell that the episodes animation was done alot more cheaply and was more cheaply made.


As was just mentioned this whole episode does mainly take place in the one setting that being the courtroom and to be fair to this episode it does have alot of fun with that setting. With us the audience even finding out things that we might not have known otherwise like for a example they mention something about what lawyers bring to the court with them being there papers to help them with the case which is something that not alot of people would have known and yet it is something that this episode does go almost out of its way to teach us when its not really something that the makers of this episode really had to do as they could have not had that line in the episode and the episode would have worked just as well but the fact that they did does show us that they did try to make this show appear to be somewhat educational by teaching us something that even alot of adults won't know. The episode does even have alot of fun with the main Judge character with him and along with the lawyers all getting flustered by what Paddington is saying as with Paddington being Paddington he's getting confused by all of the things that he's saying and is answering there questions literally with the only thing what would have made this courtroom scenes be the more fun to watch being if they had Mr. Curry in the episode as you can just picture trying to cope with all the things that Paddington is saying whilst also trying not loose his cool but not having him in the episode or even any of The Browns for that matter is something that does still work as we get to see how Paddington interacts with other people outside of the regular side characters which is something that is always fun to see as you just know that alot of them are going to be confused which is something that does make alot of the scenes in this episode really fun to watch.

In what is a rather bizarre move for this second series of the show the show was renamed to "The Adventures Of Paddington" even tho it kept all of the same team from the first series and is officially the next series. This did also come with a new intro where we see Paddington unpacking his suit case revealing the key creative people in the series but it is still odd that they would rename the show while granted kids shows back then didn't typically get a second series especially if they were animated but at the same time tho why go through all the bother of not only renaming the show but also animating an entire new intro sequence when you can just keep the same name and the same intro sequence as that is something that will save you alot of money in the long run. However to be fair this is something that could have been as as was mentioned kids animated shows didn't typically get a second series sometimes they did like The Magic Roundabout for example but alot of the time after you aired those first series episodes that was it your show was finished and you could move onto the next thing but for whatever reason the BBC decided that they wanted to bring this show back and in 1979 that's exactly what they did as the first series finished airing in 1976 so there was this huge three gap where there was no new animated Paddington being made which is where FilmFair would have been able to move on and do other projects but for some reason this little show must have cought the attention of little kids and convinced the BBC to bring it back for more episodes and that's exactly what they did do this is something that might explain why the show got a name change as it would make it feel like a new show that is also the second series of a TV show but at the same time it is a pointless change as alot of people just refer to the whole show as Paddington and not The Adventures Of Paddington.


To put in frankly this is an episode that is more of a daft episode as the main plot of the episode really only happens due to the fact that Brown is a common surname with the person that the Judge was actually asking being a human lawyer. This is a solid enough and to be fair to the episode is doesn't really need to explain why this lawyer was only showing up at the very end of the episode but the fact that they did does show that the makers of this episode did care about finishing of the episode in a way that makes sense as they show us Mr. Gruber explaining what's happened to the Judge which is something that does make sense as he would want to clear up this mess in as quick of a way as is possible. What the episode doesn't explain however was what was Mr. Gruber up to during the time that Paddington was on trial as we know that Mr. Gruber was looking for a case for them to sit in on but that us something that surely wouldn't have taken him that long to do and therefor he surely would have gotten back to the seat where he left Paddington as quickly as possible and while the episode isn't harmed by this as this is still a really good episode it is something that does make you wonder what he was up. To be fair to this episode it does prove that the show didn't really need The Browns in it as outside of of course Paddington none of them appear in the episode with only Mrs. Brid and Mrs. Brown getting a mention in the episode and while this is understandable at this point in the show they had very rarely if ever done an episode where The Browns aren't featured in at the very least one scene which is understandable as they are meant to be main characters therefor showing us an episode without them does force the makers of this show to just focus on Paddington and a new set of characters with it being those things that do help the episode to standout.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly four minuets and forty seven seconds. This is pretty much the bogstandard running time for this show and to be fair to this episode it really doesn't need that long of a running time in the first place as it does have a really basic and simple plot to it with that meaning that the episode could tell its plot in a short amount of running time and be over really before you noticed that it began this is something that is also a fairly bad thing as the episode does start to get more and more interesting and more and more chaotic right before it ends with the episode having more then enough plot there to cover that amount of running time in the first place. With the episode even using its running time about as wisely as it could have done as while the episode really doesn't take the time to fully develop its plot it really doesn't need to do that as the episodes plot is as simple as it gets in the first place and while yes it would have been nice if the episode did take the time to add things to the episodes plot like explaining what Mr. Gruber was up to while Paddington was on trial it really didn't need to do that as that would get in the way of Paddington being his usual charming self. This is something that could also be said for the episodes lack of character development as both Paddington and Mr. Gruber don't need to get character development as they could get it in quite literally any other episode of the show and the episode exclusive characters don't need it as they only appear in this episode but at the same time tho it would have been if quite literally any of this episodes characters got some form of character development if it's just the lawyer Mr. Brown learning to not be so late with the makers of this episode being rightfully more focused on the episodes comedy to give any of the episodes characters any form of character development but I really will admit that this episode really does have some really good pacing to it tho.


So now then as this is a comedy that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. With this episode having alot of really painfully funny laugh out loud moments in it with it being the episodes comedy that really did make me want to review this episode as alot of the episodes jokes were not only funny but they also felt right for the character of Paddington himself. With the best joke in the whole entire episode easily being when Paddington is asked to swear on a bible Paddington just gives the man a hard stare and says simply not because his Aunt Lucy taught him not to swear which is just such a funny joke as Paddington would of course get it all wrong and think that he is actually being asked to swear as much like Winnie The Pooh, Paddington is a simple bear at heart and the fact that he even goes the extra mile and gives the man one of his hard stares is something that does make that joke even funnier in the first place. Heck while it is a joke that you do see coming if you know how the courts work it still does catch you of guard and remind you that Paddington is a kids character albeit one that does at times act more mature then the adults around him and while that doesn't effect how funny the joke is the fact that it still catch you of guard is tho as its not a joke that you expect them to make with things only being made worse from there as Paddington unknowingly does cause alot of trouble just by taking things like being asked to swear on a book quite literally with the rest of the episodes jokes being just as painfully funny as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.  


Overall whilst the animation and plot aren't the best that this series has to other it's jokes are with the fact that the jokes are as funny as they are being more then enough to recommend this episode to anyone as you will have a really good time watching this episode in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very episode really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly an 8.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from Amazon . Co . Uk and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very episode that I used in this very post being the really great Google Images really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this very episode with alot of them really being really better quality then what you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on Google Images really are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Paddington 1976 TV Series "Paddington And The Old Master" Review


Paddington is a bare that has become more and more popular thanks to the live action movies and stage musical. However today's generation won't know of the fact that there was a previous animated series with the character and well this is a series that I really do like talking about and since it's been a long time since an episode of this show was last talked about I thought let's talk about another one and so then join me as I review the episode that reveals Mr. Browns first name with the episode in question being called simply just "Paddington And The Old Master" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is Mr Brown enters a painting he's done into a local art contest however Paddington believes that it might contain a hidden painting underneath and decides to restore it. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. The episodes plot does continue the series trend of telling these small scale stories that are simple and because of that this episodes plot is one that is very easily to follow along with with it also allowing Paddington himself to be his usually charming self. The thing that that does let down this episodes plot is the fat that the plot itself is kind of forgettable and while this is understandable as you are going to run across some not so great plots in any TV show it hurts more here due to how the stories were adapted for the screen as in this show they literally just took the pages of the Paddington books and filmed them and that was it and with this episodes plot being as forgettable as it is it does make the story in the book seem all the more forgettable however tho whilst the Paddington films have gone to great lengths to make the stories feel epic and adventurous it is nice to still have a show where the biggest problems that the characters face is getting Paddington some pyjamas or in the case of this episodes plot having Paddington try to restore a newly painted artwork by Mr. Brown as not all Paddington plots need to be big and epic as sometimes being small in scale works just as well as it allows for the characters to what they do and be charming with the plot of this episode also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


Starring in this episode is Sir Michael Hordern with him being as delightful as he is in the rest of the show. Heck you do even get to here hm try out some different accents for the characters as while the Browns and Paddington all have firm British accents he gives Mr. Gruber what might be a German accent with the fact that he does give all of the characters these different voices does make it far more easier to tell just who is talking with it even having the added benefit of making the world that these character live it feel more real as these are characters that live in central London and that is filled to the brim with all of these different accents therefor it does make sense that some of the shows characters would speak in different languages. It does help that Michael has a voice that is a calming as it does feel like your listening to your own grandfather read you these stories before you go off to bed as that's how calming that his voice is and it is something that does make him perfect to do the narration and voices for this show and episode as while someone like Bernard Cribbins for example would have been able to give all of the characters these rather distinctive voices he has a voice that isn't that calming to listen as it's a more energized voice and that is fine for something like The Wombles but for this kind of show you do want to here a voice that is more calming and that is like someone who is more like an older relative with it being helped by the fact that Michael reads this episode and the other episodes like he is reading a book as he does take the time explain every little thing and that is something that the makers of this show really didn't need to do and yet they went ahead and they did it anyway and it is something that does sell you on his acting in this episode.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. The fact that we have some really good acting in this episode isn't something that should be all that surprising at this point as Sir Michael Hordern was a really good actor with him quite clearly giving us a really good performance in this episode and this is something that he really didn't need to do as this is show that was made for little kids and therefore no one would have expected him to turn in a good performance in every episode and yet that's exactly what he goes and does. With him by default being the episodes best actor as while his voice for Judy does sound a little big off this is something that you can easily forgive as he was an old man at the time being asked to voice a ten year old girl and therefor of course his voice is going to sound a little off and it is something that does improve as the show goes on with him even becoming more and more comfortable with Paddingtons voice as it would have been really hard for anyone to act as the main storyteller for a TV show and still voice all of the characters as you do still have to give a performance you can't just put on a funny voice and call it a day you do still need to act and this is something that he does seem to have understood as he does give us a really good and worthwhile performance in this episode. With the acting that's in this very episode really being helped by the fact that this episodes script is just so good that all this episodes actors have to do is say the lines as they are written and a good performance will come out him naturally which is something that really does help to raise the overall quality of the acting that's in this very episode.


Doing the animation for this episode is the legends and the really greats that are currently over at FilmFair. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. Like with the episodes acting the fact that we have some really good animation in this episode isn't something that's all that surprising as alot of the stuff that FilmFair did be it from The Herbs to The Wombles always had really charming animation in them and the same thing is true for this episode as the episodes animation whilst yes granted it's not as good as the animation in other episodes of the show it is still really charming to watch. With the episode blending in the 2D Animation of the human characters with the 3D animation of Paddington himself really well with the 3D really sticking out in this episode as we get get to see things like Paddington walking towards the camera and climbing into bed both of which are things that would have been really hard for the animators to do back in those days as these days it would have been done in CGI but of course back in the seventies that wouldn't have been an option and yet the episodes animation still does look really good. Altho with this being said there really isn't a scene in the episode that stands out because of it's animation with it feeling like that he makers of this episode were playing perhaps a little bit to safe for there good as this shows animation is at its best when its doing something that does make you wonder how they did it and while this episodes animation isn't bad persay as it is really good its just that there are other episodes of this show that have higher quality animation in them.


This episode does give us some firsts as its the first time we meet the character of Mr. Gruber and its in this episode where we get to find out what Mr. Browns first name is. These are things that might seem like small things in the grand scheme of thigs which is fair enough but at the same time Mr. Gruber is really the only character that Padding ton can truly talk to due to the fact that they do have this close knit bond with each other due to the fact that both characters do share alot of common interests with us getting to see that he really would do anything for Paddington and Paddington would do anything for Mr. Gruber with it being sweet that they do give Paddington someone out of the family to talk to as while Mr. Curry does fill it that role nicely as well Mr. Gruber is actually kind to Paddington. While the other major think in this episode is the fact that we do get to find out that Mr. Browns first name is Henry which these days is more common place but interms for this show its not something that we hadn't really seen outside of maybe one mention of it in an earlier episode and that's it but either way it is a small thing as Paddington both up to and after this episode will always refer to him as Mr. Brown something which he even does in the films despite the fact that they have a much more closer relationship with each other in the Paddington films then they might do in this show and yet even with that in mind finding out this characters first nae does feel like a big thing as it does make this world feel more real as of course Paddington would find out his first name eventually but the fact that it happens this early on in the shows run as this was only the shows fifth ever episode is still something to behold as it does show the fact that Paddington is getting more and more closer to the Browns and while his best friend in this show might be Mr. Gruber Paddington really is still very good friends with Mr. Brown.

Much like with the series four previous episodes this episode is based on a story in the first Paddington book called "A Bear Called Paddington" with this episode being one of the last stories to be told from that book. Yet you really wouldn't know it as while all of the other episodes had some form of connective tissue between all of the episodes with this being something that made it feel like they were telling one long form story here the episode is completely disconnected from anything that happens in the previous stories which does make it an odd choice to adapt as it feels more like an epilog to those stories as it doesn't wrap up anything from those other stories. This is somethin that is fair enough tho as the episode really didn't need to wrap anything from the previous episodes as these are stories that are meant to be viewed by little kids and give the fact that the previous episode ended with Paddington , Mrs. Brown and Judy all returning home from London one could make the case that the storyline that that book was telling end with that episode and that this episode was just meant to be a fun little story with no connective tissue which is fine and to be to the episode not alot of the other stories connect to each other anyway and therefore its not out of place to see it being done in this episode but at the same time tho there is some story that the makers of this show could have gotten out of Paddington riding the tube as he wouldn't have been able to ride them before arriving in London in the first place but at the same time seeing him trying to do something genuinely nice for the Browns even if it is a little bit misguided does go along way into making us like Paddington as a character as it does show us that he is a kind character who will always try his best to do something nice for the people he cares about it even if it is something that does end up going horribly wrong.


The very idea of having Mr. Brown entering an art competition even if it is a local one is something that does work for this episode. As given the very simple nature of this show it is something that you could see any of the Browns doing and it is something that would have worked just as well regardless of which member of the family it was in the first place and given the fact that we've just spent two episodes with Mrs. Brown it is nice to see another member of the family get the spotlight again even if there not in the episode all that much with this being something that is kind of a let down for the episode and the episode would have been all the more better if we got to see Mr. Browns reaction to Paddington's attempt to restore his painting as that is something that would have made the episode be all the more fun to watch. Another thing that would made the episode all the more fun to watch is if we got to see things like all of the other artists as then we'd get to see just what kind competition that Mr. Brown is up against and if we got to see the Judge of the contest at first act flustered and confused as to why there's Marmalade Chunks on a painting before Paddington then comes into the living room to explain as it would have given the chance for the judge to show of just what kind of a character that he is as even he is technically an important character in the episode he doesn't really get alot to do in the episode and therefore doesn't get much of a chance to show off his personality whereas if he was in the episode just for a few more scenes then that is something that he would have been able to get across with it being something that would have helped to make the episode be alot more fun and memorable to watch as while it would still be a forgettable episode seeing the characters react to whatever Paddington has been up to is always fun to watch.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly five minuets and six seconds. This is the bogstandard running time for the shows regular episodes and to be fair to this episode given just how simple its plot is in the first place it also didn't need to be any longer then that as all it needed was enough time to get the basic set up out of the way and then the episode can just let the characters be there usual charming selfs as that is more then enough to carry the episode and to be fair to this episode it really does have more then plot there to cover that amount of running time in the first place. The episode even uses its running time as wisely as it could have done as while the episode doesn't take the time to fully develop its plot the episode also doesn't need to fully develop its plot due to thew fact that the episodes plot is as simple as it could possibly get and while yes it would have been nice if the episode did take the time to add things to the plot that would make it feel more well thought out there's no way that the episode could have done that with its running time. The episode does take the time to fully develop as well as it could have done due to the fact that we do get to see Mr. Gruber and Paddington becoming friends at the start of the episode something which we do get to see more of in other episodes with there friendship being quite cute to see as is seeing the bond grow between Mr. Brown and Paddington something which wouldn't have been the case even just one episode and yet here due to the fact that Paddington does genuinely try to do something nice for him Mr. Brown does somewhat start to warm up to Paddington, the only characters who don't get any kind of character develop is the competition judge and Paddington himself and even then it's due to the fact that the judge only appears in one small scene near the end of the episode and therefore he doesn't really need to be that well develop in the first place and for Paddington he really has the rest of the show to get his character development but I really will admit that this episode really does have some really good pacing to it tho.


So now then as this is comedy that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy thats actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. The episodes comedy is one that is more then up to the shows already high bar of comedy as while the episodes jokes as is to be expected aren't laugh out loud funny they are still cute jokes that do get a small laugh out of people with alot of what makes the comedy in this work as well as it does being the fact that Paddington himself is such a likable character by nature that you can't help but laugh at his antics. With the best joke in the whole entire episode being when Mr. Brown does see what Paddington has done to his painting he fakes an illness just to get out of being yelled at and takes himself of to bed early only for him to then come down a few hours later when the judge is there just because of the fact that he wants to see what's going on which is just a Paddington thing to do as even tho he meant no harm in trying to "restore" Mr. Browns painting with it going about as well as could be expected for this character with him scratching the painting with his paws and using Marmalade Chunks on it he does still mess it up and the fact that he was willing to do whatever it took just to get out of being yelled at by Mr. Brown does show that Paddington does know when it's best to leave a situation with the rest of the episodes jokes being just as good as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall whilst there are more better and more memorable episodes of this show this is still a decent episode altho it is one that did need a bit more thought and effort put into it to make it be as good as the rest of the shows episode already are in the first place with this episode being a forgettable episode in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very episode really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly an 8 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies ad gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in his very review from Amazon . Co . Uk and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very episode that I used in this very post being the really great Google Images really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this very episode with alot of them really being really better quality then what you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on Google Images really are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.
