Mine were all on Paddington. 1) Who wrote "A Bear Called Paddington"? Michael Bond2) How many underground lines connect with Paddington Station? Loads. Five?3) When was the film Paddington made?2010? 4) In the film, what was special about the "old gentleman in a bar" who raises a glass as Paddington's taxi goes past? Prince Charles before he became King?5) Why do cuddly Paddington toys wear wellies when the "real" Paddington never does? So that the toy can stand up for display purposes?Sorry for the delay - I was sure I'd posted these answers already. |

3/5
The film was made in 2014
The old gentleman was actually Michael Bond.
I think you are the only one to get the underground stations one correct, even though two of our members (both of my sisters shall remain nameless) lived in London.
The wellies were put on because the original bears couldn't stand. They were made by the mother of that fatuous @rs3 Jeremy Clarkson in Doncaster.

The underground was a lucky guess, as was the wellies answer. Actually, scratch that - they were educated guesses. If ever I go to London nowadays, it's to Paddington, and I knew there were "loads" and that they're scattered all over the bloody place - it can take 20 minutes or more to get from the train from Tinny to the correct platform for the tube. And as for the wellies, well that was just logic. Which must mean that that the year and the old man were uneducated guesses, I suppose!  |

Sorry Will, didn’t see this x 3/5 Magpie was the picker picker bird Player was Kevin Moran I could see Moran's face, and I knew it was an Irish bloke, but I just couldn't remember the bugger's name. I didn't know the magpie's name, but I did know that it's Latin name is pica pica so I could have had a guess. Thanks again K! |
