"Dear Aunt Lucy,

today I learnt that you can't make an omelette

without breaking a few eggs!

It all started with Sofia's Record Attempt.



-She was attempting to... "

- Cook the biggest omelette

Windsor Gardens has ever seen!

How wonderful, Sofia!



- Can I ask why?

- To set a record!

And make a lovely meal to share with all my friends, of course.



- [Barking]

- [Laughter]

Yes, and you, Lucky!

Make way, make way!

Official Windsor Garden's Record Adjudicator coming through!

[Clears throat] Now, if you wouldn't mind standing back,

I have some checks to attend to.

Mmm

-hmm. Right.

Ah. That's that.

[Mutters to himself]

OK. Thank you, Sofia.

One more tray after this, Mum!

Hmm.

Right, Sofia, when we begin

you will have until the last grain of sand

falls from the top to the bottom of this egg timer.

Uh

-huh! Mateo! Hurry up with the last of the eggs, please!



- Coming, Mum!

- This is very exciting.



- A real record attempt!

- MR CURRY: Ah

-ah

-ah!

Record

-breaking is a very serious business, Paddington.

Oh! I remember when I set

the "Most Gnomes Painted in a Day" record.

It was a Tuesday, mid

-winter.

I'd been prepping for six months.

Lucky! Aaah!



- Oh, no!

- Aaah!

Sorry, Mum. Those were the last eggs.

It's OK. We have here.

MR CURRY: Oh, dear, oh, dear.

It says that the last person to set this record used eggs.

You must therefore make a

-egg omelette

to break the record.

I'm afraid the rules state that the record attempt starts

the second the first egg is cracked.



- Oh, no! What do we do?

- [Gasps] The City Farm!

I'm sure Baaz will have some eggs from his chickens.



- Come on!

- Mateo,

I need you to stay here and help me!

Oh, uh, of course, Mum!



- Good luck, guys!

- Let's go!

Oh, it would be an honour to support Sofia's record attempt!

So, we can have some eggs?

Yeah, of course you can!

Francesca here loves laying eggs.

You also like walking around and pecking.

Remember that time you pecked a hole in my sock?



- I was wearing it at the time!

- Uh... Baaz?



- We laughed and laughed...

- Uncle Baaz... Eggs?

Oh, the eggs, of course!

Happy chickens lay lots of eggs!



- See?

- Thank you.

One down, nine to go!

Now, the hen house will be full of eggs!

Oh, no! The door's shut again.

Oh! This door keeps slamming shut.

The chickens haven't been able to get inside to lay their eggs.



- So the eggs could be...

- Anywhere!

We've got to find them, and quick!

I know what we need, an egg hunt!

There are no eggs anywhere on this farm.



- [Gasps] I found one!

- Well done, Paddington!

So, that's... two.

We need eight more if Sofia's going to break the record.



- Where else should we look?

- I have an idea.

If you want to find more eggs,

you have to think like a chicken.

Ah! Think like a chicken.

[Clucking noises]

[Laughter]

Sorry, I didn't mean any old chicken,

I meant the farm chickens.



- Every chicken is different.

- She's right.

Every animal has a personality.

Look, take Gertrude, she's a proper little practical joker!

Aaah!

[Laughter] Classic Gertrude!

So the chickens may have laid their eggs



- where they have most fun!

- This might just work!

, .

, ...

Mateo, can you distract Mr Curry?



- He's putting me off!

- Easy!

Oh, hey, Mr Curry, can you tell me more about



- your gnome

-painting record?

- Ah, I thought you'd never ask!

Painting gnomes isn't a hobby, it's a way of life.

This is Hera, she loves paddling and splashing in water.

Hmm, we should check by Baaz's watering contraption!

Welcome, in you come!

[Tapping]

Hello! I hope you enjoyed your stay.

Two eggs. That makes four!

Wonderful, Simi! Who's next?

This is Molly. She loves adventures.

She tries to escape all the time!

The main gate!

Two more! Six in total!

[Clucking]

This is Aubrey. She's always sunning herself!

But it's sunny everywhere!

What about by the solar panels? That's a very sunny spot...



- Yes!

- Seven!

We only need three more!

[Chuckles] This is Jemima.

She loves Gertrude. She thinks she's a goat!

Oh, dear. There's nothing here.

Gertrude, stand up, please.

Another two!

Jemima thinks she's a goat

and Gertrude thinks she's a chicken!

We only need one more!

[Dinging sound]

Wow, Baaz! What is that?

I call it the a*t*matic Chicken Door!

[Dinging sound]



- Isn't it perfect?

- It's wonderful, Baaz,

but we don't have long

and we're still

one egg short for Sofia!

[Dinging sound]

Well, what about Orla here?

She's my favourite chickedy

-chick

-chick

-chicken!

She'll sometimes come and sit on the sofa with me



- and listen to the news!

- Oh!

Maybe there's some eggs on Baaz's houseboat!

Oh! I know egg

-xactly where to look.

Ah, here we are, Pads! I believe that makes ten eggs!

You've done it, Baaz!

Now we've got to get back to the café

before it's too late!

Oh, thank you.



- Um...

- Oh, dear!

You've used all eggs and your time is almost up.

Ah, well, well, well.

It seems being a Windsor Gardens' Record Holder

isn't as easy as it looks!

Jonathan and Paddington will be here soon.

They won't let us down.



- This way, Paddington!

- Excuse me!



- Aaah!

- Oh, sorry!

We're almost there.

Whoa! Whoa!

Oh!



- Ten eggs!

- [Gasp]

Whoa!

! Finished!

Did we do it, Mr Curry?

Did we set a new Windsor Gardens' record?

Everything was justin the nick of time.



- Congratulations.

- [Cheering]

[Whistling]

Thank you! Oh, I couldn't have done it

without my team of intrepid egg

-splorers!



- Now, who wants to try some?

- Yes, please!

Egg hunting is very hungry work!

"I was so pleased for Sofia, Aunt Lucy.

To break a record is such a wonderful achievement!

I think, one day, I would like to break a record.

Maybe for the most letters ever sent to Peru!

Love, from Paddington."

"Dear Aunt Lucy,

London is full of so many old things.

Take the Browns' camper van, Bessie."

[Cheering]

"We had planned to go to the beach in her,

but, as she's old and not terribly reliable,

something went wrong."

[Bang]

Would you keep that van quiet!

Sorry, Mr Curry!

Oh, I'm not sure you'll be going anywhere today.

I really wanted to go to the beach!

It took me ages to blow this up.

Mr Brown, why do we have a campervan



- that always breaks down?

- Well, Bessie's just very old

and not very reliable.

Wouldn't it make sense

to have one that works?

Bessie sometimes works.

Like when?

Er, that time when we... brought a crab back from the beach

and when, um...

Well, she's a nice colour.



- [Rattling]

- That's Bessie fixed

as best I can.

She should be fine

as long as you don't go too fast

or too slow.

Yes, it does seem pointless

having a campervan

that doesn't work properly.

Really, we should just sell the thing.

Oh, but what would we do if we sold Bessie?

Actually go on holiday?

It would be a lot easier, I suppose.

"As all the family wanted to sell Bessie,

I thought I could be very useful and surprisethem.

So, Aunt Lucy, I became a sales bear."

What is going on?

I'm selling our campervan, Bessie.

Good. That thing's an eyesore

and the sooner it's away from the front of my house,

the better.



- Look at the dirt on it.

- Hmm. You might be right.

If I want to sell Bessie then I should make her look her best.



- That's a great idea!

- No need to sound surprised.

I'm a very knowledgeable, clever person.

Ah! That should do it.

Oh!

[Straining]

Hmm.

[Humming]

Hmm?

[Gasps]

What?



- Bear!

- Oh, hello, Mr Curry.

What do you think?

Whoa! Oh, no!

Oh! Whoa!

Aaah!

Bear!

There. That's better.

Uh... Could I interest you in a van?

Oh. Ah! Oh, you look like you could use a van.

Paddington, what are you doing?

I'm a sales bear now, Mr Gruber.

I'm trying to sell our campervan, Bessie.



- Would you be interested?

- I don't know.



- How does it drive?

- On the road.

But she's always breaking down.

Very unreliable. Frankly,

the family are at the end of their tether with her.

Paddington, as someone who runs a shop,

I find the best way to sell things



- is to make them sound good.

- Ooh! Is this for sale?

I've always liked the look of your campervan.

I don't know why. It's an eyesore.

Dr Yasmin seems interested.

Why don't you take my advice

and make Bessie sound as good as you can?

Good thinking, Mr Gruber.

[Clears throat] She is indeed for sale, Dr Yasmin.

She's a great campervan. A real one of a kind.

Also she's the fastest van in the world,

she doesn't need petrol ever and can fly.

No, no, Paddington. What I meant was make it sound good.

Don't make things up. It should still be true.

So, with this campervan, you could say it's clean,

it's cosy, it has lots of character.

Sounds great. Can I take it for a test drive?

Of course. Step this way.

Hmm... Aw...



- [Bang]

- Aaah!

The sooner that van's gone, the better!

Oh, this is great fun!

Now, how do I clean the windscreen?

Uh, is it this button?

Oops!

Now to indicate...

Hmm... Ah! So that's where the wipers are.

It's OK, I'll indicate the old

-fashioned way.

Oh, an old cobbled road.

How's Bessie's suspension with bumps?

Whoa!



- That looks like Bessie.

- I doubt it.

That campervan's actually moving.

Bessie sometimes works.

You don'treally want to sell her, do you, Dad?

No. Of course not. We couldn't sell Bessie.

[Bang]

[Repeated banging]

I feel a little seasick.

I...

I think I might pass on Bessie.

Not sure she'll be easy to park when I'm out on my house calls,

But thanks for the test drive.

Pads! What are you up to?

Trying to sell a campervan, Baaz,

but I'm not having much luck.

This is a beauty!

Yes, Bessie's great. Mind you, she does break down a lot.

Well, that's cause she's vintage.

I love these old machines!

I spend a lot of time fixing up old vehicles like this.

Maybe it would be a good project for me.

Well, you'll love Bessie! She's got lots of character.

I'll take her.

"I couldn't wait to tell

the Browns what I'd done,



- Aunt Lucy."

- You did what?

I sold Bessie. You did say we should sell her,

so I... I thought I'd save you the bother.

We were just upset because she'd broken down again.

It wasn't always a bad thing.

Like that time we went camping and it rained.

JONATHAN: Or the time she protected us from wasps.

JUDY: Or the time we pretended she was a spaceship.

JONATHAN: Or that time we went to the bottom of the sea.

That didn't happen, Jonathan.

And now it never will.

Oh, dear. Have I done something really very bad?

No, Paddington, no. It's not your fault.

I should never have said it in the first place.

Oh!

"I felt terrible.

I thought I was being helpful selling Bessie,

but now she was gone and it was all my fault."

Baaz? Baaz?

Oh, there's a note.

"Gone to the scrapyard. Back soon."

Oh! The scrapyard?

What if he's taken Bessie to be scrapped?

Oh, no!



- [Honking]

- Huh?



- Bessie's OK?

- Better than ever.

I thought you'd had her scrapped.

Oh, no, no, Pads. I went to the scrapyard

to see if I could find a part she needed.

A dunnoplan crank flanker. Which I did.

It's amazing the things people throw away.

She's running really, really smoothly now.

Baaz, I'm so sorry to do this after all you've done,

but could I possibly buy Bessie back?

I thought selling her was what the family wanted,

but it wasn't.

You see, Baaz,

this isn't just a campervan.

Bessie is our family memories on wheels.

I know I'm a bad sales bear, asking you to give her back,

but it really would mean a lot to us, Baaz.

Not at all, Pads. If you didn't mean to sell her,

of course you can have her back.

I insist. I've had loads of fun fixing her anyway.

Thank you so much.



- [Honking]

- [Gasp]



- Bessie!

- Oh, well done, Paddington!

It's back? Where have you been?

I thought you'd gone for good. I was so worried!

I thought you didn't like Bessie.

Yes, well, I thought so too.

But seeing this van every day brightened up my day.

I suppose I didn't realise how much I like having her around



- until she'd gone.

- I think we've all felt



- a bit like that, Mr Curry.

- Has she had a clean?

And a tune

-up, thanks to Baaz.

Wait until you hear her engine.

Oh, wow!

No more breaking down on the side of the road.

"I was so glad we didn't get rid of Bessie.

In a way, it did feel like we had a new campervan.

Sometimes we take old things for granted

and it's only when they're gone, we realise

how much they mean to us.

Anyway, I'd better go as we now really are heading to the beach.

Love from Paddington."
