Many congratulations to the dazzling winners of the Oldie of the Year 2022.
The Champion of Champions was the great Paddington Bear. Our star guest from Darkest Peru brought with him Karen Jankel, daughter of Michael Bond, Paddington's creator. The Paddington in the picture was the actual one made for Karen when she was a little girl.
Presenting the prize to Paddington was his landlord, Mr Brown, in the guise of Hugh Bonneville.
Hugh is interviewed on page 87 of this issue. He confirms that Paddington was a joy to work
