- Hi, Dad.

- Hi, big fella. What's cooking?

- Marmalade, Mr Brown.

- Go on, have a taste.

- Delicious.

Just one sandwich contains

all the vitamins and minerals

a bear needs for the whole day.

So does that mean

I don't have to eat vegetables?

- He said "bear", not "boy".

- Sorry, Jonathan.

- Thank you, Judy.

- Judy.

Now, has anyone seen...

Thank you, Mrs Bird.

I think every home

should have a marmalade day.

- And a bear.

- Especially a bear.

Home.

Dear Aunt Lucy.

I'm sorry I haven't written sooner

but so much has been happening.

I even met the explorer's daughter,

but she tried to stuff me,

so Mrs Bird threw her off a roof.

Millicent Clyde...

The judge didn't think

that prison would do her any good.

So instead, he gave her

community service...

No, please! Anything! Anything but that!

...in the petting zoo.

- Get a move on, dung breath!

- It's not my breath!

Back in Windsor Gardens,

life is very different.

Mrs Bird says it's because

things are finally set fair

and it's had a tremendous effect

on her knees.

Judy's embarrassment is clearing up

and she's even let Mrs Brown meet Tony.

- You can't say anything.

- Of course not.

- You can't touch me.

- I won't touch anyone, darling.

- And you're not gonna cry.

- No! No.

There's just a lot going on

in my heart right now.

We process things very differently,

you and I.

- I know.

- Good.

Mum, this is Tony.

- Welcome to the family.

- Oh. Mum!

Sorry. Sorry. Not crying.

Henry?

I'm sorry about her.

She's weird. Er, but we all are.

Tea, anyone? No? No.

And Mr Brown is helping

Jonathan build an enormous rocket.

Are you sure about this, Dad?

If we're gonna get

this bad boy into orbit,

we're gonna need all the nitroglycerin.

Although Jonathan worries about his

father's reckless attitude to safety.

Houston, we may have a problem.

Duck!

Mrs Brown says that

in London, everyone is different,

but that means anyone can fit in.

I think she must be right,

because although I don't look like

anyone else, I really do feel at home.

I will never be like other people,

but that's alright.

Because I am a bear.

A bear called Paddington.

Come on, Paddington!

I had to laugh

till I couldn't laugh no more

Like an old Chinaman out on the floor

Pass me by, hopping like a clown

I told meself

that he rarely go into town

And there was also a rajah gentleman

Americans and British, West Indians

Tell you one thing

that really amused me

Believe it or not

was a pretty Japanese

And they were singing

Ju-ba, ju-ba, a-ju-li-ba

They're jumping here

and they're jumping there

With a boolah boolah boolah boolah

boolah boolah-ee

The people going crazy

London is the place for me

London, that lovely city

You could go to France or America

India, Asia or Australia

You're gonna come back to London City

London is the place for me

Well, believe me,

I am speaking broad-mindedly

I am glad to know my mother country

I've been travelling

to countries years ago

But this is the place I want to know

London is the place for me

London is the place for me

To live in London,

you are really comfortable

Because the English people

are very much sociable

They will take you here

and they'll take you there

And make you feel like a millionaire

London is the place for me

London is the place for me

At night, when you have nothing to do

You can take a walk

down Shaftesbury Avenue

There you could laugh and talk

and enjoy the breeze

Admire the beautiful sceneries

London is the place for me

London is the place for me

I cannot complain

of the time I have spent

I mean, my life in London

is really magnificent

I have every comfort and every sport

And my residence is at Hampton Court

London is the place for me

London is the place for me
