Postman Pat is a British stop-motion animated television series first produced by Woodland Animations. The series follows the adventures of Pat Clifton, a postman who works for Royal Mail postal service in the fictional village of Greendale (inspired by the real valley of Longsleddale near Kendal).
The first series of Postman Pat consisting of 13 episodes was first screened on BBC One (at that time it was BBC TV) in 1981 and 1982. The series' creator, John Cunliffe, wrote the original treatment and scripts, and it was directed by animator Ivor Wood, who also worked on The Magic Roundabout, The Wombles, Paddington, and The Herbs. Following the success of the first series, four TV specials and a second series of 13 episodes were produced during the 1990s. Here, Pat had a family shown on screen for the first time (though his wife Sara had been mentioned in a number of episodes). A new version of the series was produced by Cosgrove Hall Films from 2003 to 2008, which expanded on many aspects of the original series. The last two series were animated by Mackinnon and Saunders, which only built the puppets for the series before since 2003, due to Cosgrove Hall Films' closure in 2009.
The show ended on 29 March 2017, with 8 series, 184 episodes and 12 specials. Reruns of Special Delivery Service continue to air on CBeebies on every weekend (Saturday and Sunday).
A CGI-animated spin-off of the series was made called Guess with Jess, which follows Pat's cat Jess now with the ability to talk and his adventures with the farm animals, and debuted on 9 November 2009 and ended in 4 June 2010, with 2 series and 52 episodes. A 3D computer-animated comedy children's feature film, Postman Pat: The Movie, was theatrically released on 23 May 2014 in the United Kingdom.
