About this episode
The episode discusses Eleanor Tomlinson's artwork and the cultural implications of Paddington as a symbol of death and grief.
Join us as we talk about Eleanor Tomlinson's watercolour of the late Queen holding Paddington's hand and the cultural phenomenon of imagining this fluffy Perusian bear becoming a contemporary avatar of Death. Trigger warning: please note that in this episode we talk about death and grief (for this reason we have indicated the explicit language warning though no actual swear words are used).
