    That stop motion series that marked his childhood

    Very good, a true masterpiece of the 80's T.V. This series, passes a beautiful message, very good morals and very good examples. Even from those series that mark our childhood. In addition, it has a fantastic stop motion. The only problems in the series are the fact that some (most) of the episodes are quite dry and also that the characters do not wag their mouths as they speak (hence I do not give more stars). Highly recommend for children.

    Cute show

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

    Pat is The Postman, got that Costner!?

    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!

    Hmmmmm....

    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.

    A True British Hero

    Postman Pat and his black and white cat, Jess - legends in their own right. I was entertained endlessly by pat and his adventures when I was a young lad. The stories are simple and very easy to understand and teach us all valuable lessons on the road to life about being helpful and kind to your neighbours. With a theme song that rocks and other songs and music that were great to hum along to, Pat was truly a hero for our times. He's changed recently; in my opinion the changes are not that great. They've tried to make Pat even more PC, his lips move (sacrilege!) and there's no more moments of Pat just driving like there were in the 80s...just driving through the countryside. If anything the Postman Pat of today comments on the fast-pace of our children's society. But despite all that, no once can argue that Pat was, is and shall always be the greatest British hero.

    8/10
