Product Description
Postman Pat and his black and white cat, Jess, return in two brand new, action-packed adventures filled with new characters and new stories. Join Pat and all the Greendale gang for the first time ever in these great all-new features:
- Postman Pat and the Greendale Rocket
The local children set off on a school outing and are very excited to find Greendale’s forgotten old train. Pat and Ted try to get it working again, but with no luck, so they call on the help of Julian’s pen pal, whose dad is a train enthusiast. Will they get the Greendale Rocket running in time for the grand opening of the new train station? - Postman Pat’s Magic Christmas
Pat has so many parcels and letters to deliver he doesn’t know how he will get his rounds done in time for the village Christmas party and make a surprise visit as Santa Claus. But help is at hand from a very cheerful stranger with a big white beard and shiny black boots – who could it be?

WARNING! - THIS IS A "NEW" STYLE POSTMAN PAT DVD. The "New" Postman Pat stories are BOGUS. They are child-centric, the characters are two dimensional and the stories have less than paper thin "plots". Jess is anthropomorphised into a Lassie-style mind-reader, which pretty much sums up the kind of sloppy thinking that allowed some charlatan to ruin Postman Pat's good name with this poorly conceived drivel. What you can take from this review is that I think the old Postman Pat is much better.

Desipte being a fan of Postman Pat I think that it is not good value to have just 2 episodes on the tape.

My son, although only 19 months, is a huge fan (much like myself) of the old Postman Pat animations of the '80s so you can imagine his delight when he opened his presents on Christmas to find out he had a video with two all-new episodes of the classic show. I was wary at purchasing this at first, apprehensive that updating Postman Pat would lead to it losing the simplicity that made the Tv show such a favourite with young children. Happily though, all the original elements of Postman pat remain; the catchy theme tune; the lovely design of the village; the overriding sense of friendliness are all here in these new shows.
There have been some changes, however. For example, the animation has been greatly improved. The movement of the characters is much 'smoother' and the detail of the sets is more in-depth than before. As for storylines, there is a lot greater emphasis on Pat's homelife. For instance, there is loads of attention focused on Julian (Pat's son) and his friends. The plots of the two new episodes still retain that cosy, happy warm feeling and the modernisation that does occur is actually welcome (for example, the introduction of an Asian family to Greendale). Also, I'm glad to say, Jess is up to his old tricks.
Postman Pat is one of those rare shows for pre-schoolers that does not immediately bore adults thanks to it's wonderful animation, familiar characters and plot-lines ideal for a wet afternoon in front of the TV with the kids.

Two great episodes of Postman Pat
Although there are only two episodes of Postman Pat on this DVD, it is still relatively good value as both episodes are feature-length, about 25 minutes each. Read more
