Which company produced the 1975 animated TV series Paddington?

FilmFair produced the 1975 animated television series Paddington. The British animation company adapted Michael Bond’s character for a television format using stop-motion techniques.

FilmFair became known for children’s animation and for productions that combined model animation with illustrated settings. Its Paddington series gave viewers a visual interpretation of the bear before the later feature films introduced computer-generated imagery.

The programme is often remembered for its distinctive look: Paddington moves through a world that mixes animated three-dimensional elements with drawn backgrounds. Michael Hordern provided the voice of Paddington and narrated the episodes.

FilmFair is sometimes mistaken for Aardman because both companies are associated with British stop-motion animation. Aardman, however, is a separate studio best known for productions such as Wallace and Gromit.
