Le facteur Pat

Well made show, the stories are simple, innocent and funny. The type of thing that is getting hard to find nowadays. Very cute.

I am 55 and my daughter is 20. We recently bought the Pieter Post dvd's (dutch version) and yes, we are still very fond of this series. As an adult I have extra attention for the making of the puppets, the hair, the fabrics,... It is still as endearing as in 'the old days' !!! A classic to keep.

Among the shows I watched growing up, Postman Pat, along with Thomas the Tank Engine, Sooty and Co, Fireman Sam and Inspector Gadget, is a show I truly hold dear, and always will, no matter how old I am.

Postman Pat showcases the simple plot of a friendly and good-natured postman going round the beautiful village of Greendale, delivering letters and parcels to and fro, as well as helping out his friends during certain events that occur, like, for example, stopping an out-of-control robot postman from causing havoc (from the episode Postman Pat and the Robot, one of my favourites), or trying to stop a wild animal causing havoc (from the episode Postman Pat and the Beast of Greendale).

The early series of Postman Pat, 1 and 2, are considered by many to be the most desirable, and I agree.

This review has been made in honour of Ken Barrie, the original voice of the world's most beloved postman, who sadly passed away last year (2016). R. I. P Ken. You did a great job, being the voice of our favourite postman, as well as other characters. You made my childhood and others too, and will never be forgotten.

Along with Fireman Sam, Rosie and Jim and Pingu, this was a show I used to watch a lot when I was little. How I miss it. The look of the show is great, the theme song is enough to make you sing along, the characters are really endearing(I remember loving Jess, the adorable black and white cat most of all) and the story lines are simple and fun. Add some nice writing, thoughtful narration and the show's nostalgic value for me and you have a simply great show. It wasn't predictable at all, the length was just right as was the pacing and it was just great show really. Nothing else really to say other than a well deserved 9/10 Bethany Cox

Postman Pat was one of my favorite tv show since I was a little human. I even feel chills in my spine and a great feel of nostlagia hearing the song again after many many years of not watching it.

Watching this show will make you want to go or atleast think what if our world is like in the town where Postman Pat lives. Clean, peaceful, friendly neighborhood, no life problems, and etc.

I find it very fun and relaxing to watch Postman Pat as I feel like I'm also one of them. I find it interesting because it is animated with figures and miniature place that makes it realistic, until after years and years of not thinking about this show, I saw the new one called "Postman Pat Special Delivery" I think?

It was nice but not great for me. I felt a little sad that as what I see from others, they also changed and "improved". The new one felt like no different than watching a fully computer graphic animated show. I didn't feel like I was in their world, it felt weird. I can't get that feeling that I was watching some toys living in a mini world and that old peaceful and happy environment that was in the first one.

Still, Postman Pat is one of the great childhood shows I watched. It became a part of my childhood and it played a part on my happiness back then.
