Postman Pat On Screens Till 2010

[Guest Small Blue]

The BBC have renewed kids favourite Postman Pat through 2010, Broadcast reports today.

The new order of 26 x 15-minute episodes comes on top of an initial order of 26 x 15-minute episodes and 4 x 30-minute specials currently in production for BBC Two and CBeebies.

The original series, launched in 1981, has been sold to over 65 countries worldwide.

Thank fuck for that.

I actually had no idea it was still running I'll have to catch up.

[J-Rod]

Pat's still going? God I haven't seen it in years. I never see it advertised in TV listings.

[Xand]

It was actually axed for a while.

[The Hardcore Canuck]

Damn straight! The BBC will suck every penny out of that show.

*breaks into song*

*Postman Pat. Postman Pat. Postman Pat and his black and white cat*

[caucasianheat]

I fondly remember watching the show here in Canada on TVO, though it's seemingly disappeared as of late. Good to see that more kids will grow up with the ridiculous awesomness of Postman Pat and his black and white cat.

Theoritically speaking, wouldn't Postman Pat be retired by 2010?

Dude. I cant believe you said that. Postman Pat will never be retired. Like Barbara Windsor.

[J-Rod]

public enemy, Pat's been going now with his black and white cat for 20 odd years now, why stop it now? He's on a roll. Who's going to deliver the post if he does retire. Postman Bodger with his black and white badger perhaps?

IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIREMAN SAM

YOU BASTARDS

I HATE YOU

I HATE YOU PAT

YOU AND YOUR BLACK CAT

FIREMAN SAM COULD KICK YOU ARSE

FUCK YOU YOU FUCK

I once heard a great thrash/punk cover of the Fireman Sam theme. It was actually really good.

[Colly]

Aparently only 26 episodes of the original lot were ever made, and they've been repeating since. So this new run will actually outnumber the old stuff. And to please the equal opportunities crowd, they've added a token Asian family to run a shop.

[Different Cloud]

I miss the days of Thomas the Tank, Fireman Sam and Postman Pat.

[J-Rod]

I didn't know Pat was married and had kids.

Yeah, Postman Pat must have got a lot of action visiting all those houses.
