[Music]
[Music]
i haven't seen paddington this morning
what's he been up to
don't bother answering i can see for
myself
so can i
unfortunately he's discovered a new
hobby
these cutouts have been popping up ever
since he heard about the garden
society's topiary competition
topiary but that's the art of clipping
bushes into fantastic shapes
not newspapers
i think they're meant to be marmalade
sandwiches
well i hope he doesn't make sandwiches
out of my shrubs
if he hopes to win a contest he's going
to have to learn some new shapes
and if we're lucky he'll find someone
else's shrubs to practice on
i am fascinated by your new area of
interest mr brown
and i think you'll find this book very
helpful
clippings from my garden thank you very
much mr gruber
look at all the shapes
they'll make a nice change from
sandwiches
yes mrs bird told me about those i'm
sure a look through that will give you
plenty of ideas for the competition
thank you but a word of warning mr brown
what is cut off
can't be put back
mr brown's going to be surprised when he
comes home and finds a peacock in his
garden
[Music]
but where shall i start
[Music]
who did that
of all the nerve
oh yeah
is that you
what are you doing
this branch lily had my eye out it's
topiary mr curry it's to do with cutting
shrubs i'm making a peacock a peacock
yes the brown said if i was going to
enter the competition
i had to learn a new shape and a
competition you see the portobello
garden society will pick the winner at
the end of the week the prize is 50
pounds
50 pounds hmm
[Music]
[Applause]
you know bear
a bit of turquoise in my garden would
raise the tone of it if you do one for
me i might not report you for nearly
poking my eye out
i'd be happy to mr curry and mind you
don't go clipping one for everyone
i want mine to be exclusive
oh i'm sure i can make it look like
something that's never been done before
you better start straight away bear
this bush definitely looks as though it
could do with a trim mr curry
just make sure it's finished by the time
i get back
after i've got something for my eye i
shall call in at the garden society and
bring the judges round
the judges
i better get started right away
i read in mr gruber's book that the
general shaping of the bush is the easy
part
but the touch-ups are tricky
they weren't joking
[Music]
oh no
i think i'm in trouble again
mr gruber was right
what is cut off can't be put back
i hope the book can tell me what to do
in a situation like this
[Music]
some of the simpler shapes can take as
long as 10 years to reach perfection
10 years mr curry will be back with the
judges in 10 minutes
i have to think fast
[Music]
it's a good thing bears are good at
thinking
[Music]
you'll not be disappointed i assure you
when you see my turkey you won't have to
look any further for your winner
paddington did you know mr curry's
entered the competition as well
yes mrs bird
i made a peacock for him
a peacock
you mean he's taking credit for your
work i don't really mind besides i did
almost poke his eye out
well i mind
come on uh-oh
see
isn't it fantastic
certainly is
but tell us mr curry how did you shape
such a perfect peacock
patience
lots and lots of patience just a moment
mr curry didn't make that
it was paddington
entering someone else's work this is
highly irregular it isn't the first time
something like this has happened you
ought to be ashamed of yourself taking
credit for a young bear's handiwork but
it's my bush and it's a fake a fake
what do you mean a fake there's some
kind of foam in the middle the branches
are stuck in it
[Music]
[Music]
we've seen just about enough this has
been a complete waste of time
get it off
get it off
i'm sorry mr curry tophiri isn't
supposed to attack
people
there you are
hello
i've got a surprise for you paddington i
bought this bush for you to practice on
he's already practiced
on mine
and he ruined it
you can have this one if you like mr
curry
well it's nothing like the original of
course
i could try making you something else mr
carrick a bear would look very nice in
your garden
a bear
[Music]
a bear indeed
now you can't trust anyone today and you
leave things outside
perhaps not
[Music]
what do you care for a biscuit mr gruber
no thank you but i'm happy to see you
relaxing after our latest trip abroad
bears like boats oh then you'll be
interested in our sweep sir
oh don't bother sweeping i'll be sure to
brush the crumbs into the sea the fish
will enjoy them
this sweep is a contest
a contest what do i have to do guess how
far the ship will travel by midday today
the person closest to the exact distance
wins the jackpot that's easy
[Music]
my uncle in peru taught me how to
predict the weather
from the smell of the
wind the ship won't travel very far
today because of the bad weather my
guess is 25 nautical miles
are you sure mr brown there isn't a
cloud in the sky
storms at sea can come out of nowhere i
learned that when i was a stairway let's
not mention stowaways to the captain
shall we i'll put you down for 25
nautical miles
i think i may have made a wrong guess by
mistake mr gruber
perhaps it was the saltire mingling with
some marmalade from your snack
everyone seems certain we will travel a
great distance today
but don't feel bad it was only a guess
i will let you enjoy your biscuits alone
mr brown now be careful don't stay out
in the sun too long
the sun's very hot i'm starting to get
full and
sleepy
[Music]
that's strange
[Music]
i can't see you and i don't like the
look of what i do see
[Music]
[Music]
that was no ordinary dream that was a
nightmare
[Music]
the nightmare is still happening
mr gruber was right i spent too much
time in the sun and now i'm seeing
ghosts
if anyone can help me it's the ship's
doctor
[Music]
good gracious what seems to be the
trouble you look as though you've seen a
ghost
i have
three of them as a matter of fact three
damn me
why don't you tell me all about it
well
it happened right after i was chased by
some biscuits you were chased by
biscuits that's right i see
and this happens to you often
sometimes depending on how much i've
eaten but it doesn't stop there
then i saw the browns and mrs bird but
they're in london a bird in london
you're sure it wasn't uh a seagull on
the railing mrs bird a seagull
she wouldn't like to hear that
start from the beginning
i was sitting on the deck you were
sitting on the deck in the sun yes i was
keeping an eye on the weather for the
sweep
it sounds as though you've been
hallucinating what you need is sleep
but the trouble started while i was
sleeping it's a clear case of too much
sun making you imagine all sorts of
things
well it's happening again
there are the browns and mrs bird
oh my
hi there
hello
but you said they were in london
didn't you
go
no wait
poor mr brown must be very upset i can't
imagine where he's got to
last i saw him he was running around the
ship causing a panic we're terribly
sorry for all the trouble we came on
board this morning when the ship stopped
for supplies
now it all makes sense henry wanted to
surprise paddington not scare him but
how was i to know he would think we're
ghosts and start a panic i've looked
everywhere for him i found paddington's
hat
it was near the railing near the railing
oh no
maybe he fell overboard
overboard
[Music]
i've given the order to start the search
in all my years at sea i've never had a
man overboard let alone a bear
but captain i'm not overboard i'm right
here huddington
[Music]
run everyone hide it's all right mr
brown they aren't ghosts they're real
it's a surprise
[Music]
you can say that again oh paddington why
didn't you come out when you heard the
alarm we thought you'd fallen overboard
you did but no one said anything about a
bear overboard until just now because we
have to stop the shippers behind
schedule we've only traveled 20 nautical
miles and it's already midday
20 you say then i can't believe it the
bears won the ship sweep i've won the
ship sweep your guess must be the
closest
[Music]
this better not happen again well my
suspicions will be aroused and i might
have to clap you in irons
aye aye captain
i think i know one bear who's going to
have a good sleep after his lunch
if you don't mind mrs bird i think i may
stay awake for the rest of the day
anything can happen when i fall asleep
[Music]
and you are one peddington brown mrs
bird says one is enough well i'm sure
she's right
this letter says you've been invited to
be part of a live studio audience
but it doesn't say anything about you
being a bear
do you have any form of identification
hmm
i don't think i have any forms but i
have this photograph from my aunt lucy
it says to my dear nephew paddington
[Music]
oh there's this
it's got my paw mark on it mrs bird says
no one else has one quite like it i
don't suppose anyone would want one
either
[Music]
this is a number of the studio you want
thank you
and be careful you don't get lost
i've never got lost this quickly before
maybe the high altitude is making me see
things
are you lost very lost i'm afraid
i'm looking for this studio
down the hall second door on the left
but you better hurry the jam session's
about to start
a jam session it's a good job i brought
a marmalade sandwich
[Music]
i hope we get to see paddington in one
of the live studio audiences with that
hat and duffle coat he shouldn't be too
hard to spot
[Applause]
thank you
and for our last number we have a
wonderful
[Music]
see
just like i said i have a feeling
whoever invited paddington to the
television studios is going to wish they
hadn't
[Music]

is
heading to brown of 32 windsor gardens
brown paddington brown
but you're supposed to be in studio six
