Sorry, subscribers. Mistakes were made. Long story. Here's the same episode you may have already downloaded. And we're informed that the people responsible have been sacked.

Once upon a time there were three bears: a momma bear, a papa bear and a baby bear. They lived in a little cottage in a big forest. One day, papa bear was standing in front of the bathroom mirror and noticed that he had the first ever grey strand of fur on the top of his head.
