Premiere date
Both the IMDb and Toonhound claim that the first episode premiered on 5 January 1976, but the listing here on Wikipedia says 10 September 1975. Which one is correct? /Ludde23 Talk Contrib 22:59, 30 November 2013 (UTC)

 * Huh? Where? Which is the correct date? 10 September 1975 or 5 January 1976? /Ludde23 Talk Contrib 18:12, 1 December 2013 (UTC)

Animation and cartoon…
The description of the way this was made seems overly complicated, not particularly effective at describing the process, and smacks of original research. Trying to describe as Paddington as a puppet and other characters as cartoons doesn’t really cover how it was done, especially as it is compounded when it is suggested that this was one of several productions to use this method (albeit that it is supposed one of the few), when truth be told it was probably the only one. The paragraph which follows the statement that the production had an unusual look is better, but misses the key fact that the “2D” characters were in fact also “3D” - the animation of the “flat” characters is in fact stop motion, done in three dimensional space using upright free standing cut outs, which do have volume (although minimal) and are swapped in and out from frame to frame. These could be said to be very thin puppets, although there may be a better term. But it should be stressed somewhere that the “2D” animation was not cell animation or “flat” in the conventional sense of sequential images drawn onto paper and filmed on an animation stand.
