234 Paddington
First watched : Early 1976
Pddington was quite slow in coming to TV given that Michael Bond had written the first book about him in 1958 , way before he first came up with The Herbs. Nevertheless it was enormously popular and another triumph for animator Ivor Wood who came up with the distinctive 3D/ 2D blend of characters for the show. Paddington took over the Magic Roundabout slot and the stories were amusing and clever but somehow I remember feeling it was too late in the day for me at eleven years old , that this was something for the younger children and I had no real business watching it.
The original series ran from 1976 to 1978. Another series was made by Hanna-Barbera in conjunction with CITV in 1989 and then another shown on CITV in 1997. A film was released last year and another is said to be in the works.
