Animator Barry Leith with Paddington at FilmFair studios (1982)

In my youth I found myself frequently ill and besides missing school and playing the Atari 2600 all afternoon what I really enjoyed was that I could watch quite a bit of Paddington Bear on Nickelodeon’s Pinwheel. The Stop-Motion shorts were produced for BBC television back in 1975 by Michael Bond and the London-based animation company FilmFair. Animator Ivor Wood is responsible for the episode you see below.

I loved that paddington series when I was a kid. They played it on pinwheel, but also on romper room, and other such shows.
