Calling Dr. Paddington

"Calling Dr. Paddington" is the second episode of Paddington Bear season one. It aired on December 3, 1989 in syndicated markets that featured The Funtastic World of Hanna-Barbera programming blocks. It was written by Gordon Kent, and directed by Don Lusk, Paul Sommer, Oscar Dufau, and Art Davis.

Mr. Curry's scheme of getting Paddington to his gardening chores backfires when it sends him to the hospital. Paddington tries to make up for it by visiting him, which causes all kinds of mix-ups for the staff.
