The Bear (Bo' Selecta!)

The Bear is a fictional character who originated in the British adult sketch comedy, Bo' Selecta!. He is a rude teddy bear who is a social outcast and engages in cursing and womanizing. He like berries and always wears black glasses. He has a sidekick, Steven the Ginger Squirrel, whom he hates.

The character was popular enough to receive his own show, A Bear's Tail, derived from the Christmas pilot. Since the end of A Bear's Tail, the Bear has featured in Bo' in the USA. He is played by Leigh Francis.

Personality

The Bear often flirts with women, who guest-star on the show. In an episode of Bo' Selecta!, it was revealed that he used to have a problem, which caused him to shout out bad words at anyone. He has, however, broke the habit by thinking of women to take his mind off of it. After fantasizing about women, his tail will pop out. He gets it to "go away" by saying, "Christine Hamilton.", three times, as seen in an episode, in which Christine Hamilton, herself guest starred in. However, when Christine guest-starred in an episode, the Bear had to say it in his mind.
