Introducing....... Postman Pat

Postman Pat is a British stop-motion animated children's television series first produced by Woodland Animations. It is aimed at pre-school children, and concerns the adventures of Patrick Clifton, a postman in the fictional village of Greendale (inspired by the real valley of Longsleddale in Cumbria). Postman Pat was first screened on BBC1 in 1981.

Pat is a friendly country postman, and he has a "black and white cat" Jess. Although he initially concentrates on delivering his letters, he nearly always becomes distracted by a concern of one of the villagers and is usually relied upon to resolve their problems. Notable villagers include the postmistress: Mrs. Goggins, Alf Thompson: a farmer, and the local handyman and inventor, Ted Glen.

Postman Pat was the village postman for Greendale but has now been promoted to head of the 'Special Delivery Service' in nearby Pencaster. Pat lives at Forge Cottage in Greendale with his wife Sara and son Julian, who is six years old.
