Il postino Pat

I really am not so sure about this show. When I was a little girl, I begged my mum to put on the tapes for me, so I could watch Postman Pat and his black-and-white cat go on all their amazing adventures.

Now I'm not so sure.

I gave this show a 6 out of 10 because, even though the new series is far from perfect, it has its moments. Like baby Niquille (please pardon my spelling). And something about Mira and the Doncaster soccer team. I wasn't too keen on the Greendale Rocket and Clown episodes, they were okay, but I much prefer the old series. Don't get me wrong, both are carefully crafted in a manner that only the British can achieve, but the old series had that archaic mid-20th-century England sort of feel, which was peculiar in a time like the 1980s. The new series is, in one word, alright. But Postman Pat is still an old favorite of mine, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

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.

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.

I can't believe there's only one comment on this show on here! This show was an essential part of my childhood and it's still great today, hence why me and my friends made our own episode. I'm not to sure about the 2004 series with Comedy Jess, but the original Series was great!

The series for those who don't know follows the 'adventures' of Britain, if not the world's favourite postman and his black and white cat Jess.

Many tried to imitate it in later years like Fireman Sam, but although good, that couldn't match Pat, in fact that's a good idea for a 1 on 1 beat-em-up featuring: Portland Bill Postman Pat Fireman Sam & Bertha.

Up the Greendale massive!
