Product Information

The character held a unique place in the writer’s affections. Bond would replace each Olga with a new guinea pig, given the same name. The “sixth” Olga would sit on the author’s lap as he watched television at his Maida Vale home in his final years. When Paddington first hit screens, the BBC dominated children’s viewing.

It was mostly the fault of Olga herself. The story was decent, the idea was fun, but Olga was just a terrible character. Starting rumours, making up tall tales (which I truly didn't like and I was dreading them when they popped up), thinking she is so much more superior to anyone (and bragging about it), and much much more. I was so terribly glad for the humans that they didn't have to hear Olga's stories, but I felt sorry for the animals. Besuch. Boris ein Meerschweinchenmann ist plötzlich da.
