Or is he from one of those indigenous Peruvian tribes that speaks the King’s English?
Edit: A friend of mine pointed out that he’s also not a South American spectacled bear.
What the fuck, Michael Bond?
Your yearly reminder that the original Paddington Bear stuffed toy was designed and made by Shirley Clarkson and given to her son: Jeremy Clarkson.
Yes, that Jeremy Clarkson. You know, the “Speed and Power!” guy.
(Although this was not the origin of the character himself. Michael Bond bought a generic toy bear from a toy shop and named it after nearby Paddington station. He wrote some stories using the bear as a character, and then they got published, and then he probably got very rich.)
Michael Bond also wrote many, if not all, episodes of the 1970s show.
Top Gear was around in the 70s?
;)
