A Day to Remember/Paddington in Spain/A Most Unusual Ceremony

left peru and sailed to england alone

there he met the browns and they took

him home

now a new life has begun he's windsor

gardens favorite son

cause he always does his best to help

everyone

when a problem appears he never misses a

beat

and always finds a way to land on his

feet

has his very own unique point of view

looks at everything as if it's brand new

he is friendly and polite and he tries

to do things right

but he gets in sticky messes just the

same

he's curious and speaks his mind but

trouble's never far behind it's

paddington

[Music]

dear aunt lucy each day can bring

something unexpected like the morning i

went to the supermarket

hello bryson deirdre flint don't you two

look as cozy as hot cocoa in front of

the fire on a winter's night

we're so happy

tomorrow's the big day

the wedding's being planned to a tee

we're so looking forward to it i am too

i've never been to a wedding before oh

here's the bear who made it all possible

it happened when paddington was helping

out with our amateur dramatic society

i'm afraid i pulled the wrong rope by

mistake i should think you did

was that when you broke your arm harrod

yes

oh at least it brought us closer

together

well

congratulations and have a wonderful

time tomorrow

weddings are such beautiful occasions

and ours certainly will be

hello preserves counter harold price

speaking

oh no

oh dear

it can't be

what what's wrong harold nothing dear

everything's fine good

i just don't know what i would do if

anything happened to spoil our day

the usher has cancelled

will you stand in for him at the wedding

tomorrow yes of course

[Music]

hello love hello miss flint

now

tomorrow morning go to my flat and pick

up the guest list

whatever you do don't breathe a word of

this to anyone deidre will be frantic if

she hears the real usher can't make it i

shall have to tell the browns mr price

fine

tell mrs brown i'll give her a ring

thank you mr price i'm sure she'll be

very pleased

[Music]

oh paddington did you get what we needed

at the supermarket yes mrs bird and

you'll never guess what mr price wants

me to be an usher at his wedding

tomorrow

are you certain that's what he said he

gave me his keys to pick up the guest

list oh and mr price said he would give

you a ring mrs brown

isn't that generous of him

[Music]

hello

oh yes mr price paddington said you'd

give me a ring

oh paddington

you're the handsome mr bear i've ever

seen you've got an important job being

in charge of seating the guests seating

the guests

but there are 75 of them

i shall never find that many chairs

don't worry paddington

the seats will be there already

all you have to do is point them out

fancy people not knowing what a seat

looks like

[Music]

i had no trouble finding the guest list

on the kitchen table at mr price's flat

and soon i had shown everyone where to

sit

[Music]

a job well done

i must say paddington's done remarkably

well

he never ceases to amaze me the day is

still young

shush

shush

i do wish you wouldn't keep telling

people to be quiet though if you ask me

i suspect that's what he thinks an

usher's really for to keep saying us to

everybody

shush

well i hope he doesn't say it to deirdre

during the ceremony

and now the ring

where's the ring i thought you had it

where's my ring harold

i don't understand it

i thought i left it on the kitchen table

this morning next to the guest list

i paddington i'm in trouble again

understand this harold no ring no

wedding

paddington

where did he go

when i saw the ring on the kitchen table

i thought it was the one mr price said

he would give to mrs brown

it was time to get some help

[Music]

where did he go i saw him only a moment

ago

where are you

this was no ordinary trouble this was

trouble with a capital t

and mrs bird had told me who to call if

i ever had a real emergency

[Music]

anyone who gets a bear to act as an

usher at their wedding is asking for

trouble

why that sounds like a

it's the fire brigade and they've

stopped right outside but they would

only do that if this

fire everybody out of the church

[Music]

[Applause]

you should know bear that the emergency

telephone number is only for real

emergencies this is a real emergency if

you're a bear

addington

my ring

i thought it was the ring mr price said

he would give to mrs brown

i

i meant i'd give mrs brown a ring on the

telephone

oh dear when i saw it by the guest list

i thought i would save you a journey and

give it to mrs brown myself and so i

wouldn't lose it i put it on but

it got stuck

just like now

[Music]

i don't believe it

if you carry on like this we'll save a

lot of time if you're the one that gets

married

if it doesn't come off perhaps i could

come on the honeymoon with you miss

flint i've never been on one of those

before

but you'll be pleased to know aunt lucy

that the ring did come off mr and mrs

price was so relieved they gave me an

extra large slice of wedding cake as a

reminder of the day and i would like to

share it with you

and what a bueno reminder it is

gracias paddington

mrs bird once told me that a pilgrimage

is a journey to a place that's very

special to you

and since i'm very fond of marmalade

seeing the orange groves in seville

spain was wonderful

it's where they grow the finest

marmalade oranges in the world

mr gruber wanted to include the city's

famous flamenco festival in his book the

world and its wonders

[Music]

[Music]

oh how wonderful to see you this is my

daughter maria anna

and hello maria

i would like you to meet mr brown

hola senores

welcome to civilians

thank you maria

come senorita dance with me

oh no no i couldn't

oh maria she could be such a wonderful

dancer if only she had a little

confidence

anna told us that maria dreamed of

becoming a famous dancer

as for me

[Music]

i was surrounded by oranges anna maria

thank goodness you are back

ah it's good to see you my old friend

but you must forgive me i will not be

able to spend much time with you today

papa what is it is something wrong many

of the oranges have ripened if we do not

pick them quickly they will begin to rot

right

[Applause]

are you thinking what i'm thinking mr

brown

wait for us we're coming with you

but the fiesta

we will be working straight through the

night then you have come a long way to

see it

there will be other opportunities my

friend

right now saving your crop is more

important

let us not waste any more time

i've never seen so many oranges in my

life all waiting to be picked and turned

into delicious marmalade mr brown then

we better hurry mr gruber

remember look at that young bear gold mr

brown is very motivated when it comes to

marmalade

[Music]

like these

you are a very good dancer maria you

must enter the festival oh no no

i couldn't do that

i'm far too busy

oh beside i do not have a partner that's

because you refuse to dance in front of

people why if you did you'd have your

pick of young admirers to dance with

why do they use seville oranges to make

marmalade mr gruber there's only one way

to find out mr brown

[Music]

i had never tasted anything so sour in

my entire life it's no wonder mrs bird

puts plenty of sugar in when she makes

her marmalade

[Applause]

you forgot these no no those oranges are

too right we will throw them away

it seems such a waste

unless

do you mind if i make marmalade out of

them mr miguel

[Applause]

[Music]

juicy tasty chewy orange marmalade

it tastes so good orange marmalade the

fun part is how it's made

orange chunks are important

any signs will do

chopping the chunks big and small use

all the juice too

seeds would make chunks hard to chew use

a cloth bag to strain them through even

the seeds aren't put two ways to put the

bag in the pot to add to the taste

skins get soft as they get hot sticky

and gooey cooking in the pot the

stickier the better but here's the trick

it's sugar that makes it sweet and thick

it also makes it stick like glue but you

might get all over you so have some help

when cleaning up you need a friend if

you get stuck

extra chunky sticky gooey sweet and

juicy tasty chewy orange

something tells me i've used too much

sugar

could you please give me a hand maria i

appear to be stuck in some of my

marmalade chunks

[Music]

[Applause]

this

it's very nearly as good as mrs birds

even if i do say so myself

what is that noise

the pips

you sound just like a flamenco

[Music]

i think you finally found a dancing

partner maria

we need help

everyone is at the square for the grand

finale

[Music]

how will we ever find mr gruber

[Applause]

oh

so many people

mr

what kind of flamenco is this

i think it's called

the padenko

would you like to dash with me

well done mr brown

such original technique what is your

secret

[Music]

marmalade

maria you found someone else to dance

with

yes this is carlos we're going to

practice together and enter next year's

fiesta

and to think if you hadn't made such a

mess with your mama paddington none of

these would have happened thank you

that's the first time anyone has ever

thanked me for making them sticky

[Applause]

dear aunt lucy as you know i always like

getting letters and today i had a very

special one indeed

i wonder who it's from

oh let's see

sir huntly martin requests the pleasure

of mr paddington brown as his guest of

honor on monday the 20th there'll be a

tour of the factory followed by a

ceremony to open the new extension

sir huntly martin

isn't he the man who makes the nice jams

marmalade he makes wonderful marmalade

and he's been kind enough to invite the

rest of us to the ceremony later in the

afternoon why would he invite paddington

on a tour and to a ceremony

i remember when i won all that marmalade

of the cup price grocers in the market

of course

you were their millionth customer and

you were allowed to fill your shopping

trolley with as many things as it could

carry so huntley was delighted when he

heard i'd filled it with his marmalade

and he promised that one day he'd show

me around his factory

[Music]

trust paddington to get himself invited

to a marmalade factory

well

a certain bear has a lot of cleaning up

to do before he'll be fit to go on any

tour or attend a ceremony

i suppose everyone has their methods but

anyone would think i was a rug not a

bear

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

are we almost there uh just a couple

more miles go

[Music]

miles it's only about two inches on the

map

well enjoy yourself gov

all certainly spruced up for the

occasion thank you very much

my invitation

oh

why does it only take a moment to get

dirty when you're clean for hours to get

clean when you're dirty

yeah now

where do you think you're all going i've

come to see sir huntly martin

i'm sure you have and i suppose you left

your rolls around the corner rolls

i didn't bring any rolls i'm here for

the ceremony oh the ceremony and i

suppose your invitation fell into the

gutter how did you know did that happen

to yours too

[Applause]

hello brown residents

what

paddington hasn't arrived yet but he

left in a taxi some time ago he should

be there by now

yes i'll let you know goodbye

that was sir huntly martin's secretary

paddington is late and they're wondering

if he got lost but how could he be lost

the taxi was supposed to take him right

to the front door remember

paddington is the sort of bear

[Music]

the only way you're getting in this

factory is through the works entrance

well we are a bit shorthanded

come along with me and i'll put you on

trial

i'm trial i was expecting a guided tour

now he wants a guided tour

so where would you like to start

do you have a taste testing department

you can't start there you'll have to

work your way up from the bottom

how about the chunks department mrs bird

says i'm an expert on chunks

of course she has to clean them up

chunks hmm

chunks i know just the place follow me

these orange barrels need cleaning out

before we send them back to spain i dare

say you might come across a few chunks

while you're at it

but it'll take days to clean all these

and i've only got one pair of paws

that's all you need

just keep at it until i come back

[Music]

it was certainly a pause on tour

well any sign of our guest of honor i am

sorry sir huntley apparently he left by

taxi some time ago and hasn't been seen

since

and what's the latest weather forecast

there's still a risk of afternoon

thunderstorms

i hope our ceremony isn't a complete

washout

[Music]

i must say you've done a good job there

it's a pity there aren't a few more

bears like you around thank you but as

much as i'm enjoying this part of the

tour i'd like to move on

oh you're not done yet

i better hurry up

i don't want the ceremony to start

without me

[Music]

still no sign of paddington

where could that bear have got

please forgive the delay ladies and

gentlemen but we are still awaiting our

guest of honor so

[Music]

but now i know what a load of wet

clothes must feel like

i have the strangest thing that there's

someone we know

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

and now our guest of honor paddington

brown we'll say a few words before we

open the new factory extension mr brown

[Applause]

thank you sir huntly i must say your

marmalade is the tastiest in the whole

world

except of course for mrs birds

[Applause]

but that's homemade

[Laughter]

but martin's marmalade does have a lot

of chunks why if you took all the chunks

from just one jar of your special

marmalade and laid them end to end they

would probably stretch from here

to here

[Music]

these paw prints will remain here set in

cement as a wonderful reminder of the

opening of our new extension

in fact aunt lucy if all the chunks from

all the jars into huntley's new factory

were laid end to end it wouldn't

surprise me to find they stretched all

the way to darkest peru and back

foreign

[Music]

foreign

[Music]

curious and speaks is

[Music]
