In the film version, Paddington is voiced by Ben Wishaw and sounds like a member of some indie-pop band coming down from an agonising ketamine high, and that’s just the start of what’s wrong in Paul King’s film.

In the tv shows, it’s notable that Paddington’s voice is also that of the narrator (Michael Horden) and also of the other characters, who (almost) all accept the bear as a new and welcome addition to their lives. He writes letters home to his Aunt Lucy to tell her of the fun he’s having in his adoptive home. Paddington is an immigrant to these shores, even if it seems in his nature to integrate and to ingratiate himself with the members of the British public Paddington meets. To backtrack, Michael Bond’s Paddington was part of a wave of stories designed to help kids understand the multi-cultural make-up of society.

So when it was announced that Paddington Bear, another much beloved fixture of my childhood, was getting a make-over, I shivered at the prospect what would they do to my beloved bear? Londoners and JM Barrie fans will know in advance that the rather drab-looking statue doesn’t look like that at all ‘That’s not my Peter Pan’ I told my mother, and I was right. When I was five, my mother took me to see a statue of Peter Pan in London I was excited to see the character I knew well from Disney comics, dressed in green, with the glowing light of Tinkerbell by his side.
