Characters

He lives with the Brown family—Henry, Mary, Judy and Jonathan—and next door to Mr. Curry. He is liked by everyone except Mr. Curry. Whishaw reprises his role from the films.
  • Henry Brown (voiced by Darren Boyd) — Mr. Brown is the head of the Brown family. Initially, he detested Paddington, but began to change his view of him as time moved forward. He is the husband of Mary and the father of Judy and Jonathan.
  • Mary Brown (voiced by Morwenna Banks) – Mrs. Brown is the wife of Henry and the mother of Judy and Jonathan.
  • Mrs. Bird (voiced by Phyllis Logan) — Mrs. Bird is a distant relative of the Browns who lives with the family. She is very wise and looks after the house, doing all the cooking and cleaning.
