Michael Bond: Paddington film 'true to spirit of books'

Paddington author Michael Bond has praised the new film based on his character, saying it is "true to the spirit of the books".

Michael Bond told Radio 4's Today programme that he had initially been worried by its PG-rating.

The 88-year-old author told John Humphrys that he was "halfway through" writing another Paddington book and that the process kept him young.
