Paddington

« on: November 22, 2014, 09:47:57 »

Ended up watching the trailers for the Paddington film, and from what I can see, apart from some subtle changes to fit in with the original book (such as the Lost and Found on platform 1), Paddington station is actually for once Paddington station, complete with full FGW^▸ HSTs^▸ .

Usually transport related scenes are mish-mashed from else where (eg Marylebone used for any London station, or Charing X ex-Jubilee for any Underground station, or like James Bond switched between Tube stock). I wonder how well this film will fair.

He's not as focused on what needs to be done or as honest as Paddington Bear Angry

Maybe Paddington Bear was actually fond in Sainsbury's on Platform 1 obviously looking for marmalade ................. the LPO was situated where Sainsbury's is now. (oh LPO = Lost Property Office)
