"Dear Aunt Lucy,

You'll be pleased to know I'm safely back from holiday.

I hope you liked the postcards I sent you.

It's great to be home."

[Mr Brown straining]

Ugh!

[Straining]

Look out! Coming through!

Ah, I really missed this place.

It's just a house. How can you miss a... Bally!

I missed you so much!

The postcard I sent myself has arrived.

"Dear Paddington,

having a lovely holiday. Love, Paddington."

Oh, dear. Looks like we're out of food.

Do you fancy Sofia's for lunch?



- Oh, yes! Let's go!

- That sounds like a Great idea.

What?

Here you are. Marmalade for Paddington,

egg for Judy, and ham and peanut butter for Jonathan.

Oh, thank you for the postcards, Paddington.

It sounds like you had a great holiday.

You're welcome.



- Hi, guys!

- Oh, hello, Mateo.

I hope you got your postcards too.

I loved getting two a day.

I almost felt like I was there with you.

Oh! How was your birthday party?



- Sorry we couldn't make it.

- I didn't have one in the end.

The school holidays meant hardly anyone was about.

Oh, dear!

"And that's when I had a great idea, Aunt Lucy."

Why don't I throw you a party at Windsor Gardens?



- If that's OK, Mrs Brown.

- I think that's a super idea!

A party? Yeah! Sounds great!



- See you later, Paddington.

- Bye!

If you need entertainment for the party, I could be a clown!

I studied it at drama school and I'm sure I could still do it.

You haven't clowned for years.

Clowning never leaves the clown.

Watch this.

Hoo! Ha, ha, ha!

I thank you.



- Egg?

- Marmalade?

Ham and peanut butter?

Strange combination, Jonathan, but tasty.

So, here's the plan.

This is the treehouse.

This mug is the bouncy castle. I'm in charge of that.

Jonathan and Judy, the salt and pepper are you.

You'll be blowing up balloons.

And Mrs Brown, the clown, will be over here.

And what's the blob of marmalade?

That's delicious. But it fell out of my sandwich. Ignore it.

Mrs Bird, how's the cake coming along?

Just about to pop it in the oven.

It's an old Scottish recipe. Haggis and smoked fishcake.



- Uh...

- Ho, ho! I'm just joking you.

It's carrot cake. Mind you, haggis and smoked fishcake

does sound nice. I might whip one up for my tea.

Mr Brown, did you manage to book the animal act?



- Mateo loves animals.

- Yes, indeed.

I found a local one in the phone book.

Mr Fun's Exotic Animals!

Good. Mateo will be here in half an hour,

so let's put together the best party ever for him.

Everybody know what they're doing?

So the salt and pepper go in the garden

and you bounce on the mug?



- [Door bell rings]

- Ooh! That'll be Mr Fun!

Ah, Mr Curry? Sorry, I was just expecting someone else.

Mr Fun? Of Mr Fun's Exotic Animals? Yes, that's me.

Oh! You're not what I was expecting.

Ha, ha! It's almost like people don't think I'm fun.

I'm fun, aren't I?



- Uh...

- Well?

Yes, er, yes, of course.

Glad we cleared that up. Now, I've got lots of exotic animals.

Well, as long as there isn't a snake!

Oh, don't you worry about Susan.

She's a harmless little grass snake.

Worried? Me? [Hysterical laughter] No, no, not at all.

I'll leave you to set up.

Hmm.

I guess I'll go upstairs and get ready, shall I?

Susan, stay! I'll be right back.

[Squeaking]

I am a clown again. Hello, Miss Ponco.

Right, my old disappearing trick.

Oh, I wonder if I can still do it.

[Groans]

Perfect. I can still fit inside the secret compartment.

Ah, Mateo is going to love this.

How are you getting on with the balloons?

Almost finished.

Whoa!

[Popping sounds]



- [Door bell rings]

- Oh, that'll be Mateo.

You made it. I hope you're ready for the best party ever.

We've got exotic animals, party games...



- and I hope you like cake.

- Ah! I love cake.

Do you have balloons?

Well, not many, but we do have a bouncy castle!

[Gasps] No way!

Ah, good ol' pin the tail on the donkey!

Ha, ha! Now, where did I put that tail?

Uh... Ah! What?

Why are there two?

Aaah! Snake!

[Bang]

Sorry... everyone.

I don't know what disappoints me more, Mr Brown,

the fact that you took the pin on the bouncy castle,

or the fact that you didn't take your shoes off.

OK. Not to worry, Mateo, the fun's not over yet.

Ahem! Did somebody say fun?



- [Cheering]

- Shush, shush, shush, shush.

Aaah! Snake! Aaah!

I'm afraid the snake's disappeared.

But I've got something really special in here.



- [Gasps] Have you got lizards?

- No.



- Bearded dragons?

- That's a lizard.



- Giant millipedes?

- Praying mantises?



- No and no.

- Frogs?

No. Get ready... for...

Brian... the... Ant!

An ant?

Well, I spent all my money on the snake.

I could only afford an ant after that.

Brian? Brian? Ah! Has anybody seen Brian?

Brian! Brian!

[Whistling] Come on, Brian, stop mucking around!

Don't worry, Mateo.

I've got something really exciting for you.

I present to you, Miss Ponco The Clown!

No way! I love clowns!

[Calling in a whisper] Paddington? Paddington?

Huh?

[Whispers] Ready when you are, Mrs Brown.

I can't get out.

I'm stuck!

Oh, dear. There must be a way out of there.

Yes, but I can't remember. It's so long since I've done it.

Oh, maybe there's a magic word? Um, abracadabra?

I did see a magician saw a box in half once. That might work!

No! No, no, no!

I don't seem to have any other ideas, Mrs Brown.

I'm sorry, Mateo.

It seems your party hasn't gone how I'd planned.

There won't be a clown after all.

Huh? Oh! I seem to be stuck!



- Whoa!

- Wow!



- Whoa!

- [Laughter]



- Cool.

- Yay!



- Whoa!

- Show

-off!

Oh! Ha, ha, ha!

Snake!



- Whoa!

- Oh, no!

Oh! Ta

-dah!



- Whoa!

- Oh!

[Cheering]

So cool!

You're the funniest clowns I've ever seen!

I think I prefer being a bear to a clown,

if it's all the same.

Ha! Thanks, Paddington.

I'm glad you enjoyed the party, Mateo.

But it is a shame we didn't get any birthday cake.

I do have a back

-up cake, if you don't mind an old family recipe!

"Well, Aunt Lucy, Mrs Bird's Haddock and Haggis cake

turned out to be delicious,

and Mr Brown and Susan became great friends.

Even though everything had gone wrong,

we still had a wonderful time.

So, I suppose, having a fun party isn't about

what you've planned, but who you're celebrating with.

Love from Paddington."

Oh! There you are, Brian!

"Dear Aunt Lucy,

Today, I learned that if something if fun,

everyone wants to join in."

Go!

Yes! Stinky Cheese Man!

Unleashes his power of stink and creates a giant shield.

A super smelly force field of stink

surrounds Stinky Cheese Man.

Chocolate Potato, summons a torrential rain

of chocolate

-covered crisps!

The crisps neutralise the stinky force field.

Ninja Silly Strings!



- He... uh...

- Come on. He's gonna what?



- Uh...

- [Egg timer goes off]

Couldn't think of anything. You win Jonathan.

Yes! These cards are mine!

Imaginarium looks great fun.

No wonder you've been playing all day.

Would you like to have a go, Paddington?

Well, he looks very nice.

But what's his special power? Quick, Paddington!

Uh... Hmm... Uh... Making tea?

Yeah. That could happen... I suppose.

MRS BIRD: Jonathan! Judy! Time to go to the dentist!

Aw! I was supposed to play Jonathan next.

Sorry, Mateo. Paddington, practise playing with Mateo.

Use my cards.



- Do you want to shuffle?

- My pleasure!



- Oops!

- Whoa! Tiny Space Robot!

Rumour has it that not even the Mystery Player hasthiscard.



- Who's the Mystery Player?

- No one knows!

That's the mystery.

I'll trade every card I have for Tiny Robot.

You would swap all of those cards just for that one?

Yeah!

Well, Tiny Space Robot is tiny.

I don't think he could win very much.

And Jonathan loves collecting these cards.

Let's do it! Let's swap!

These will make Jonathan very happy indeed.

You swapped Tiny Space Robot?

Yes, for all of these! And I hope you enjoy them.

Is that a... happy lip wobble?

And those must be happy tears.

And now you're happily burying your head in your hands?

I'm sorry, Paddington. I know it's not your fault.

But Tiny Space Robot is the rarest

Imaginarium card in the world!

It's not worth all these cards.

I'm afraid it was a very bad swap.

"I felt terrible, Aunt Lucy,

and I knew it was my job to find Mateo

and ask for Tiny Space Robot back."

Sorry, Paddington.

I'd love to return it, but I lost Tiny Robot in a game.

But it was the only card you had!

I know! But I couldn't help it, Imaginarium is just too fun!

So who did you lose it to?

Only the finest Imaginarium player in the park.



- Miss Potts?

- Good luck winning it back.

Hello, Miss Potts.

Uh, would you consider doing a swap

for one of your Imaginarium cards?

I don't do swaps. I won my cards fair and square.

Oh, of course, Miss Potts.

But I'm not very good at Imaginarium.

Perhaps we could play another game, to earn a swap?

Hmm. What would you suggest?

Um... well, I'm quite good at staring.

Staring? Hmm.

OK. First to blink loses!

Oh!

Oh, Paddington. OK, you win, you win.

What card would you like?

The Tiny Space Robot card, if you don't mind.

Oh, I'm sorry, but I lost that one playing against Mr Gruber.

Mr Gruber plays Imaginarium?

[Humming]

Oh! Beautiful!

Aaah!

Frightfully sorry, Mr Gruber.

Oh! It's you, Paddington. What a pleasure!

Mr Gruber, I gather you have the Tiny Space Robot?

[Chuckles] I did have the Tiny Space Robot,

but I gave it away for free to a keen customer,

because... [Whispers] it was not a very good card.

But you do know it's the rarest, most precious Imaginarium card



- in the whole world?

- You know,



- I wish I'd known that!

- So, who did you give it to?

Ah, somebody known only as...

the Mystery Player.

How exciting, Mr Gruber!

But I do need to find this player rather urgently.

Oh, Paddington, I'm afraid I canneverreveal his identity.

I see.

Hmm. So, the Mystery Player is a "he"?

Yes. Ooh! I can never reveal anything else.

Of course.

I'm sure he wouldn't want the rest of Windsor Gardens



- knowing who he was.

- Exactly.

So he lives in Windsor Gardens?



- Oh, you are very good!

- So, this Mystery Player,

Mr Gruber, is a regular visitor to your establishment.

It can't be me, because I'm here.

And it's not Jonathan,

because it was his card in the first place.

[Gasps] Could it be Mr Curry?

You got it, Paddington!

But you didn't not hear it from me.

[Door bell rings]

Ugh! So what misadventure is it today, Bear?

Mr Curry, I challenge you to a game of Imaginarium.

Why would you think I'd be interested in playing that?

Because you're the Mystery Player.

No, the Mystery Player is... a mystery.

I do know it's you, Mr Curry.

And it's very important I win back

Jonathan's Tiny Space Robot, which I believe you have.

Um...

You'd better come in.

Oh, my goodness!



- Oh!

- Hmm. How good are you?

I'm no Mystery Player, Mr Curry.

But I have played a couple of times.

Ooh! Hmm. Very well, Bear. I accept your challenge.

Let the games begin!

It's a sort of angry cheese man.

I remember that one! He unleashes the power of stink.

My turn!

Baked Bean Surfer Badger.

Rides on a giant wave of baked beans,

and carries Stinky Cheese Man away.

Next card!



- A fridge, with legs.

- I don't know that one.



- What doeshedo?

- The door opens.

Oh! He could probably freeze everything solid.

I was gonna say just that.

Next card!

Chocolate Potato! Summons a mighty rain of hot chocolate,

melting all the ice, so it makes Fridge's socks wet

and now he has to go and change them.

Argh! Oh, yeah!

Well, get ready for... Tiny Space Robot?



- Jonathan's card!

- Nah, I don't like that card.

Um... I'm not sure that's how you play, Mr Curry.

No. No. Definitely not.

Aha! A Really Big Moose!



- Oh, dear!

- And a snake with a hat,

and a wizard on a flying saucer!

You can only play one card at a time.

I can do what I want, Bear!

[Evil laugh]

Ha! I win! Thank you very much.

Oh!

Now I must go and tell Jonathan I couldn't win his card back.

And I've lost all his others too.

He'll be awfully upset. Anyway, thanks for the game, Mr Curry.

Oh...

Oh! Jonathan!

Um... I'm very sorry.

I tried, but I couldn't win Tiny Space Robot back.

It's OK. Thank you for trying.

Um, Paddington?

Listen, I'm afraid to say, when I played you,

I may have... uh... cheated.

Cheated? But you couldn't have! You're the Mystery Player.

No, I definitely cheated.

You see, the reason I call myself the Mystery Player is...

I don't really know how to play.

Oh, don't worry, Mr Curry.

It can be a very difficult game.

How about I teach you how to play?

[Gasps]

"And so, Aunt Lucy,

we all played together for the rest of the day,

until Jonathan won back Tiny Space Robot."

Yes!

"Mr Curry's no longer the Mystery Player.

He now likes to be called The Lord of Imagination.

Even though I won most of his cards.

Love from Paddington."
