"Dear Aunt Lucy,

this week, I overheard some family news.

But overhearing something can make things rather complicated."

Fold the paper one last time

and you get a beautiful swan!



- Cool!

- Oh!

I've made an origami marmalade sandwich.

Mrs Bird! There's a phone call, about, uh, you know, the house!

Oh! Coming!

I'll be right back! You just stay here

and carry on with your origami.

Oh, that sounds like it might be interesting.

Grown

-ups always keep interesting things



- to themselves.

- But if it's for us to hear,

shouldn't we wait until they tell us?

Well, I guess I'm not very patient.

Mmm

-hmm. Yes.

Great! Thank you.

Well, that is excellent news.

I can't believe we'll sell the house that quickly.

The time is right for a new family

to enjoy such a beautiful house.

I really don't think we were supposed to hear that.



- They're selling the house!

- How could they?



- This is our home!

- We should talk to them.

Ask them why they've made this decision.

But then they'll know we were listening in.

We need to change their minds,

while not letting on that we know.

Just a moment. I'm having an idea!

But we will have to be a little bit clever.

[Contented sigh]

Right, then. Does everyone know what they have to do

in "Mission, remind Mr and Mrs Brown and Mrs Bird

how much we love this house,

how happy we are, how it's a perfect home,

and how many wonderful memories were made here."

Hmm. We should give it a shorter code name.

Places everyone!



- [Sentimental music]

- Huh?

Ah! Take a deep breath of that wonderful Windsor Gardens air.

Isn't it marvellous?

Oh, yes! There's nothing like it!

There are so manyfantastic things about our home.

Remember when Mum and Dad gave me these dolls?

JONATHAN: That was a great Christmas!

We've had a lot of great Christmases.



- And birthdays.

- And sunny days...



- And rainy days...

- MR BROWN: Aaah!

And at the end of every one, we come home,

right here, to Windsor Gardens!

And there's just no better place.

Mmm... [Sniffs] Um, sorry, I think I need a cup of tea.

[Sobbing]

Well done, everybody.

We did a very good job.

Hopefully, that will change Mr Brown's mind

about selling the house.

Now for Mrs Brown!

My goodness me! The Browns are selling the house!

Oh, what are you lot doing in here?

We wanted you to measure us again, Mrs Brown.

On this special measuring wall.

Yes, please, Mum.

[Gasps] Look how small I was!

And, Paddington, look.

You grew about... uh... centimetres in one day!

Well, that's because I put my hat on.

And why this sudden desire to be measured?

We haven't done that in ages!

Because we were thinking about the house,

and how we loved growing up here.



- And we've grown up so happy.

- From tiny babies...

To great big little bears.

Come on, Mrs Brown.

Look! You can use this paint.

Whoa!

Yes, I'd say I'm about...



- um... that big?

- Oh! Can we do it too?



- Yes, please!

- [Chuckles] Of course.

This is an art studio, after all.



- Yeah!

- [Laughter]



- You do it too, Mum!

- Oh! Ha, ha, ha, ha!

There!

And just like that,

a memory we shall never forget.

It's like giving the house a great big thank you.



- Oh, and thank you, Mrs Brown.

- Thank me? For what?

For choosing , Windsor Gardens in the first place.

We love it here and we never want to leave!

Ever!



- Oh...

- What are you sighing about?

I don't know. I suddenly feel all emotional about our house.

Me too.

[Sighs]

Oh...

Oh, Mr Curry! Is everything all right?

Yes, everything's fine.

Except... I have a bit of news.

Oh, I hope it's not bad news, Mr Curry.

Apparently, the Browns...

are leaving Windsor Gardens!

I'm so glad you chose this little trinket!

It's about time it found a new home.

Oh, talking of new homes, Mr Gruber,

some people we both know might be getting one.



- The Browns!

- [Gasps]

The Browns?

[Inaudible chatter]

Ah, Mr Brown.

PC Wells! What brings you here?

Um, Paddington asked me to call in.

I'm so glad you could come! This way, please.

Now then, you're probably wondering

why I've gathered you here.

Oh, it's like the end of a whodunnit!

Paddington asked me what a policeman's view

of Windsor Gardens was like.



- Why did Paddington

-

- ?

- Mrs Brown,

there will be questions at the end.

And I said, "Windsor Gardens is one of the friendliest places

to live in the whole country.

I've never known such a close community."

Did you hear that?

Oh, how wise you were

to choose this place to raise a family!

Well, that is lovely to hear. Yeah.

Is everyone getting a visit like this?

It's a special favour for a rare sort of bear.

Jonathan! Judy!

This is to remind us of some of the lovely times

we've had right here, in the best home in the world!



- Oh, that was very moving!

- [Sniffs] You're telling me!

Paddington, I don't understand.

What's all this is about?

Is there something you're not telling us?

Mrs Bird, Jonathan, Judy and I

-

-

[Door bell rings]

[Gasps]



- [Gasps]

- What?

Hello! We heard the news you were moving,

and we all wanted to pop round and give you

a fantastic send

-off.



- M

-moving?

- Yes, someone overheard you

talking about it.

But I'm afraid I've no idea who. News travels fast

in a close

-knit community like this one.

Um, Paddington, what exactly were you about to tell us?

We should have said something earlier, but we overheard you

saying that you were selling the house.

You said it was time to move on!

Time for another family to enjoy the house. And...

We don't want to leave this house!

You see, we... we didn't want to let on

that we had listened in on a private conversation,

so we tried to change your mind in a different way.

Paddington, children,

we're not selling the house.



- You're not?

- [Laughs]

We're selling my old doll's house from when I was a girl.

It's just been gathering dust, and it's such a nice one,

we thought it would be lovely for a new family to enjoy it.

Your doll's house?

But that doesn't mean that we might not move one day.

We are all very happy here, but sometimes things change.

And if we did move house, it's not such a sad thing.



- It's good to go to new places.

- Like I did.

MRS BROWN: Exactly.

Go to new places, meet new people and try new things.

Oh, you mustn't be sad if we do ever move.

We wouldn't lose our old friends and we'd also make new ones.

And hopefully we'd find a new community just as lovely



- as the one we have right here.

- Come in, everyone!

There's a little bit of explaining to do,

but let's do it inside!

[Cheering]

"And that night, Aunt Lucy,

we had one of the greatest parties that Windsor Gardens

had ever known.

We should have owned up when we overheard that conversation.

But it was wonderful to be reminded of just how much

we all love our home.

Love from Paddington."

"Dear Aunt Lucy, a friend in need is a friend indeed.

It all started when we were playing a game of... "

Sardines?

It's simple. One person hides, and when you find them,

you join them in their hiding place.

Eventually, everyone will be in there together.

Squeezed in, like a tin of sardines!

Exactly. But without the smell.



- Unless you're in there.

- That's right.



- Hey!

- Don't worry. I'm joking.



- OK.

- Or am I?

[Laughter]

I can't wait to play sardines!

Who's hiding first?

Me! [Giggles] You'll never find me!

[Humming]



- [Door slams]

- Huh?

Twenty

-nine and a half, and three quarters...



- Thirty!

- Ready or not, here we come!

[Giggling]

[Gasps]



- I found you!

- [Giggles] Quick, Paddington,

come and hide.

Hmm...



- [Rattling]

- [Gasps]

Found you! Budge up. Let me in.

[Laughing] Found you!



- ALL: Sardines!

- Oh!

[Laughter]

Room for one more?



- Mind the tap!

- Aaah!

ALL: Sardines!

[Humming]



- Sardines!

- Huh?

Sardines!

Sardines!

Sardines!

Apples, milk...



- ALL: Sardines!

- ..sardines.

Ah!

Oh!

Ooh!

Found you, Paddington! Room for another sardine?

Yes, but look who's already hiding here.



- Wow!

- It's a spiky ball.

[Giggles] No, Paddington, it's a hedgehog.

And it's scared, which is why it's curled up.

Normally, they're like this.

But when they're worried, they go like this.

Oh, sorry!

Well, I didn't mean to scare you.

I'm worried, Paddington. Hedgehogs are nocturnal,

so it shouldn't be hiding in the shed in the daytime.



- Hmm. What should we do?

- I'll fetch my Uncle Baaz.

He'll know what to do.

Keep an eye on the hedgehog and don't lose it!

OK, Simi!

Oh! Little hedgehog?

Little hedgehog?

Little hedgehog?

Where did it go?

Phew! There you are!

Oh, no! The hedgehog!

Mr Curry! Mr Curry!

Whoa!

[Gasps] Oh!

Mr Curry!

Oh, dear! Uh... um...

Whoa!

Ooh!

Aha!

Aha!

Whoa!

Bear! What is going on?

There's a hedgehog... in your garden!



- A hedgehog?

- Yes, it's...



- about so big, rather spiky...

- I know what a hedgehog is!

But why would it be out in the daytime?

I don't know. I'm supposed to be keeping an eye on it,

but it seems to have disappeared.

Hmm. Perhaps if we hide, it will come back.

I have an idea.

This is like playing sardines, Mr Curry.

Oh! That reminds me. I brought some supplies.



- Sardine?

- Um, no, thank you, Mr Curry.

I've got my emergency marmalade sandwich.

Hmm. Suit yourself.

[Gasps] I can see it, Mr Curry!

But it's moving out of sight! We need to turn around.



- Which way?

- This way!



- Left or right?

- My left...



- So my right?

- To me.



- To you?

- To me.



- To who?

- To you!

To me or you?

That's up to you, Mr Curry.



- Oh!

- MR CURRY: Oof!

Paddington, we need a system.

Now, move backwards slowly.

That's it! Now together!

And forwards! One, two, one, two, one, two.

Oh! Urgh!

Weren't you watching where we were going?

I was watching your feet.

Pads! Where's the hedgehog?

Oh, I'm very sorry, everyone.

It's gone, and it's getting dark.



- How are we going to find it?

- Never fear,

for I have an idea!

[Indistinct]

Oh! Not this again!

[Groaning and moaning]

Oh...

Coming through loud and clear, Mr Curry!



- So, it's a wildlife camera?

- It is.

It lets us spy on the garden from the house,

and not scare the hedgehog away!

Hopefully, we'll be able to find the hedgehog and see if it's OK.

And we can watch everything on this old monitor.

I found it in a skip.

It's amazing what people throw away!

[Mr Curry screams in pain]

Oh! Uh, I'll need a minute to fix it.

In the meantime, could you put down some hedgehog food

to encourage our prickly friend to come out?

Of course! What do hedgehogs like to eat?



- Dog food.

- Well, I never!

[Straining]

Try opening it with this, Paddington.

Thank you, Simi.

[Giggles] No, you use it like this.

Oh! I see.

There!

Oh, dear!

Come on...

I've got an idea.

[Straining]



- Oh!

- Oh!

Hmm. [Sniffing]



- Bleurgh!

- Sorry, Mr Curry.

Ugh!

There. That should do it.

Don't be shy, little hedgehog. We only want to help.

Oh! It's beef

-and

-tea flavour, by the way!

[Snoring]



- I see something!

- Gah!



- Is it the hedgehog?

- Well, it's hard to be sure.

Someone needs to go outside and check.

After you, Mr Curry.

Oh, no, no. You first, Bear.

Can you see anything, Paddington?

Not yet.

Keep moving, Paddington.

[Anxious breathing]



- [Hoots]

- Aaah!



- Are you scared, Mr Curry?

- Of course not.

[Anxious breathing] Aaah!

MR CURRY: Aaah!



- Miaow.

- Oh!

PADDINGTON: [Gasps] It was a cat!

[Chuckles] Looks like she's been enjoying the hedgehog's dinner!

[Gasps] Paddington, look!

PADDINGTON: [Gasps] Hedgehog babies!

SIMI: They're called hoglets.

"The mummy must have been out during the day building a nest

for her babies, Aunt Lucy.

Well, from now on, we'll know where to put the hedgehog food.

On Baaz's advice, we try not to disturb them.

But sometimes we watch them on the wildlife camera,

to see how they're growing up.

Love from Paddington."

[Contented sigh]

Aaah!

Mayhem!
