A series of books first appearing in 1958, written by Michael Bond, about the antics of a small mildly anthropomorphic brown bear who lives with an ordinary London family. Paddington is usually seen wearing a blue duffel coat (a somewhat old-fashioned warm coat fastened by toggles) and rather shapeless black hat (though more modern versions sometimes give him a red hat instead, or even reverse the colours for a blue hat and red coat).
''Paddington'' books continued to be written throughout the 1960s and 1970s, and spawned [[Paddington|a TV series of 5 minute shorts]] that ran from 1975 to 1986. The unique visual style (Paddington himself is a stop-motion figure, the backgrounds are black-and-white line drawings and the other characters are 2D paper cutouts) and catchy theme tune led to it becoming a well-loved childhood favourite.

* [[Accidental Bid]]: Paddington Bear once went to an auction. He found it a very friendly place. People kept on waving at him, so naturally he waved back...
* [[Beary Cute]]: Not only is he small, adorable, and dressed in a cute little coat, hat, and scarf ensemble, but he's incredibly polite to boot.
* [[Cool Old Guy]]: Mr. Gruber
* [[Crossover]]: Two books featured Paddington's adventures with the cast of ''[[Blue Peter]]'', for which Michael Bond worked as a cameraman.
