To be fair, if someone told me they were making a comedy sketch about Paddington Bear being a coked up asshole, “Seems like a good way to get sued, mate” is probably how I’d respond.

I don’t think they’ve got a hope. If they did, Spitting Image wouldn’t have existed before now.

It’s clearly parody, besides the target audiences for the legitimate Paddington Bear and this show are far enough removed to not have a negative impact surely.
A TV show I had not seen has been brought to my attention.

Wow they are really taking any bit of enjoyment people have left. I have watched the program and seen the Paddington. It’s hilarious. It’s a joke ffs. People need to rediscover what a sense of humour is

Only the first seven words of this headline are true.
Tbh it’s an interesting one. Paddington has been absorbed into the zeitgeist, is seen as a national figure. But he’s also fictional, and therefore IP. Can’t see how StudioCanal come out of this looking like anything other than greedy corpos with no sense of humour, to be honest.

Paddington Bear is the very essence of the twee middle class bullshit this country needs to kill if it wants to get anywhere. I cannot put into words just how much I hate what that cartoon bear represents.
