    I do love Paddington! I especially loved the stop-motion animated TV version which I watched as a child in the late 70s. I still have Paddington books illustrated with stills from that series - and a pic of Paddington in the bath on my bathroom wall! I remember being very impressed as a child when I heard there was a railway station called Paddington - I thought they'd named it after him!

    Paddington is really popular with younger children. It would be great to see a Paddington themed park open, I'm sure it would be a big hit.
