Even Paddington can't come to much harm in half an hour, said Mrs. Brown optimistically. But he can manage a lot of other things in even less time - like hanging Mr. Curry's lawnmower from a tree-top, or coming up through the bandstand floor during the "Surprise Symphony".

And who else but Paddington could set Father Christmas's beard on fire?Please ask if you need a specific version. The data provided here may not be correct.
