"Dear Aunt Lucy,

This week, I managed a real first

for bears all over the world and beyond."

JONATHAN: Initiate auto

-landing sequence.

That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.

Mankind, Jonathan? That's a penguin.

He's the only toy that would fit into my lunar module.

Anyway, he's an astronaut!

Well, isn't space travel fascinating!

I've had a little involvement in top

-secret space missions



- in the past.

- Really, Mrs Bird?



- What were they?

- I can't tell you.

They were top secret.

Do you think a bear could ever travel in space?

Oh, would you like to be a Bearonaut, Paddington?

A Bearonaut? Is that what they'd call me?

I think I should like that very much indeed.

Imagine that. Paddington. The first bear in space.

And you could travel to Neptune! That's my favourite planet.

Mmm. I'm not sure that we can actually send you into space,

but we could do the next best thing.

[Gasp]

Ta

-dah!

But that's Bessie the campervan, Mrs Brown.

Well, yes, it is at the moment, but,

if we all use our imaginations,

we could soon turn her into thePaddington

Space Exploration Vehicle!

Destination Neptune!

That sounds marvellous, Mrs Brown.

Well, if you're heading off to Neptune,

you'll need some training.

Follow me!

And I get to flex my artistic muscles.



- What about me?

- Oh, you can make the tea.

Vital astronaut nourishment!

I thought I could be head of Mission Control.

Do you know what I heard about the real head



- of Mission Control?

- No?

He makes an excellent cup of tea.

Oh, you'll be astronauts soon!

[Mrs Brown humming]

Aaah!

The first thing you must learn is to endure very high speeds!

Imagine you have to make an emergency ejection

from the spacecraft.

Keep it up! Push through!

Whoa!



- [Gasping]

- Wow!

That's amazing!

This is a real

-life button, from a real

-life space ship,

given to me many years ago.

As you have all successfully completed your training,

I present this to you for thePaddington .

Wow! Thank you, Mrs Bird.

This was once a very powerful button.

It is to be used only in an emergency.

And now we must prepare for launch!

Astronauts and Bearonaut, board thePaddington !

[Cheering]

MR BROWN: This is the beginning of an historic journey.

Two brave astronauts and a Bearonaut

are attempting something that has never been done before.

To journey through space to Neptune.

Launching in five... four...

three... two....

one... blast off!

Whoa! I'm floating!

Everything is weightless!

Yes! This is incredible! We're real astronauts!

This is Mission Control.

Is everyone happy on thePaddington ?

Yes. All happy here. It's a wonderful spacecraft,

and we all feel very excited about the voyage!



- Woohoo!

-We are very proud

to have sent the first bear into space!



- Check computer systems!

- Check!

Everything is working as it should.

Checking navigation.



- Setting course for Neptune!

- What's Neptune like?

Oh, very cold and dark and windy.

Covered with thick fog.



- It's a long way from the sun.

-Head of Mission Control

toPaddington !We think you're about to enter an asteroid belt!

Be careful. It could get bumpy!

I can hear them hitting the sides!

I hope the shields hold!

Steer us safely through the asteroids!

JONATHAN: We just need an extra speed boost.

[Gasps] The button!

And it's time... It's time....

It's time for you all to come in for your dinner.

We can finish the mission to Neptune tomorrow!

[Cheering and laughter]

Oh, thank you, Mrs Brown. I had such a wonderful day.

I can't help but think how amazing it would be

to really travel through space to Neptune.

I know. Only a very few people ever get the chance

to really go up into space, Paddington.

But nothing is impossible!

It's fun to dream, isn't it?

We must never stop dreaming, Paddington.

Mrs Brown, do you think it would be all right

if I slept in thePaddington tonight?

I've had an idea!

Come on. We need to get changed.

You bring the keys to Bessie. I'll get the kids.

[Snoring]



- Darling?

- Hello. Yes. I'm awake!

[Yawning]

[Snoring]

[Bleep] Mission Control toPaddington .

Paddington , you are clear for take

-off!



- Huh?

-Countdown starting

in T minus ten... nine...

eight... seven...

six... five... four...



- Oh, dear!

-..three... two... one...

Oh...

Wow!

Oh! Phew!

Neptune!

It's one small step for a bear...

one giant leap for bearkind.

Dark and foggy.

Just like Jonathan said.

I wish Jonathan and Judy were here.

[Gasps] Who's there?

Neptunians! I come in peace!

I am Paddington, the first Bearonaut!

Please show yourself! I would love to say hello!

[Gasps]

Welcome to Neptune, Paddington! You did it!

And we are having a midnight picnic feast in your honour!

I know you haven't reallytravelled into space,

Paddington, but I hope this is the next best thing.

Oh, Mrs Brown, it is thebestthing.

I may not be the first bear in space,

but I am the luckiest bear on Earth.



- Tea?

- Yes, please!

Yes. One for me, please!

"You see, even though only very few people

have ever been up to space, there are even fewer families

that make you believe you have travelled there.

And luckily, my family here is like that.

Love from Paddington."

"Dear Aunt Lucy,

The bushes are covered in blackberries.

They grow everywhere, even inour very own garden.

There's lots you can do with blackberries,

but, first, you have to pick them."

We have to wait for exactly the right moment.

They have to be perfectly ripe.

Too soon, and they're sour.

Too late, and they've shrivelled up.

How do you know if it's the right moment?

Like this.

Hmm.

Mmm. [Contented sigh]

Are you... all right, Mrs Brown?



- Paddington...

- Yes?

The exact moment... is now!



- Yay!

- Awesome!



- Watch out for prickles!

- Watch out for who?

Ouch!

I see.

My paws have gone purple.

My pinkies have turned into purplies.

It's like treasure. And we're like pirates. Arr!

Except, this time, we get to eat the treasure!

Well, don't eat too many, or there'll be nothing left

for an apple

-and

-treasure crumble.



- Yay!

- Boo!

MR CURRY: ... ...

... !

There were berries on this bush when I last counted.

You saw them, didn't you?

There's hardly enough left for a spoonful

of my famous blackberry jam!

There's wrongdoing afoot.

Good. Now to get to work on some jam.

You won't make too much jam, will you, Mrs Bird?

Only you might use up valuable marmalade jars.

I think we'll manage, wee cub.

This just came through the door.

"Beware! I have had priceless bounty pilfered from my garden

by unscrupulous scrumpers."

[Chuckles] "I urge you to remain vigilant.

Signed, Mr Curry. Neighbourhood Watch Committee Head,

Ranger in Training,

and Most

-Popular Resident of Windsor Gardens."

Whatever language that's in, I don't speak it.



- What's a scrumper?

- Someone who steals fruit.

Who on earth would steal fruit from Mr Curry's garden?

Oh, dear.

I didn't realise that bush was Mr Curry's.

It's growing on our side of the fence

and Mrs Brown thought it was ours.

You see, there are two sides to a fence, Paddington.

Maybe not all the bush is ours.

That means we've taken something we shouldn't have.



- We'll have to give them back.

- Won't he be very cross?

Yes. He will. Oh, dear.

We could just put them back on the bush.

Good idea!

There.

Oh, dear!

Ha, ha!

Yes!

Whoa!

Whoa!

We'll just have to take them back to Mr Curry.

Oh! We can tell Mr Curry it was an accident.

Hold on. Mr Curry didn't knock on the door

andsayhe'd had his blackberries taken.



- He left a note.

- So?



- Why don't we do the same?

- Yes.

I can put the blackberries in a basket

and hang them over the fence with a note saying sorry.

Oh!



- He'll see you!

- JUDY: Only if he's there.



- What do you mean?

- Get him away from the bush.

How do we do that?

By distracting him.

[Groans] You can't borrow anything, I don't need any help,

so there's no badge to be earned,

and you can't have your ball back.

We're not knocking about any of those.



- Oh?

- I've got to write a piece



- for the school magazine.

- What's that got to do with me?

I thought I could write about your gnomes.

And I could take a photo of you all together.



- My gnomes?

- Yes.



- Why?

- Because they're rather lovely.

Well, don't just stand on the doorstep,

you roving reporters, come on in!

Oh, a photo of me and my gnomes.

And of course you'll be asking me questions?

Of course!

And I'll be the star of the piece.

There.

[Straining]

Whoa!

OK.

Easy does it.

Whoa!

Oh, dear! Uh... uh...

No, Pigeonton! Those are Mr Curry's!

How many gnomes do you have, Mr Curry?

Oh, well, let me see.

There's Mildred and Peggy and Sir William.

But there's no point my just telling you about them.

You need to see them.



- Let's do the interview first.

- No.



- Come and meet the g*ng.

- Um... um...



- Wow!

- What is it?

Is that a gold gnome?

That is the Gnome of the Year Award

fromGnomes and Gardens magazine.



- Come on.

- Oh, no. Um...

And what is that certificate for?

Oh, that's my under

-s gnome

-painting certificate.



- Let's go!

- [Gasps]

Uh... No! Wait, Mr Curry! What's this?

That's a cushion. This way.

Made it.

Whoa!

Ah!

Whoa!

MR CURRY: Come on, come on, hurry up!

This way. Please.

Ah! Aren't they magnificent?

[Gasps]

[Gasps]



- Oh, where do you want me?

- Uh...



- You should face this way.

- Very well.

Oh! How's my hair looking?

I haven't been to the barber's lately.

You look fine.

There. Look at me, Mr Curry. That's it. Relax your face.

Relax my face?

Oh, good!

Now, maybe with one of the gnomes?

MR CURRY: Oh, good idea.

No, Pigeonton. Shoo! Shoo!

Good. Nice, big smile!



- He is smiling.

- No. You, Mr Curry.

Oh! Of course!



- Shoo! Shoo!

- Good! Another one!



- Whoa!

- Huh?

[Gasps] Bear!

Whoops!

Aha!

So, you're the scrumper, Bear!

"Sorry, Mr Curry".

We didn't realise they were your berries.

You two as well. I should have known.

Scrumpers and schemers!

Oh, we really are sorry, Mr Curry.

We thought, because the bush was hanging over the fence,



- it was OK to pick them.

- It's all about

where the bush starts.

As they say, "Position is nine tenths of the law".

And this one, you can clearly see, started life in...

Oh!



- What is it, Mr Curry?

- A slightly thorny issue.

Did the bush start inourgarden?

[Clears throat] Yes. Well...

Shrubs are no respecters of boundaries, are they?

I suppose you'd better have these back.

I think it'd be nicer if we shared them, Mr Curry,

don't you?

"So, Aunt Lucy, we all shared the blackberries.

Mr Curry enjoyed some of our crumble

and he gave us some of his jam.

As it turns out, Jonathan and Judy did actually submit

their article for the school magazine,

and Mr Curry made the front cover.

I have to tell you that blackberry jam is rather good.

Not as good as marmalade, but it makes a very tasty sandwich.

Love from Paddington."
