Hugh Bonneville: Paddington Bear's Mr Brown on third film in series Paddington in Peru

The Sunday Session with Francesca Rudkin

The recent Paddington Bear film series has been a delight to audiences, prompting a renewed interest in the famous bear – and even seeing the late Queen get in on the action.

Filled with charm and humour, the third film in the series Paddington in Peru hits cinemas on January 1.

Most well known as Lord Grantham on Downton Abbey, Hugh Bonneville stars, alongside the loveable Paddington Bear, as Mr Brown.

Speaking with Francesca Rudkin ahead of the film’s release, Bonneville explained Paddington's stint at "marmalade rehab" was behind the seven-year gap between films.
