Apparently he's relocated to Chatham and got a promotion and a kid...

    oooh he looks much cooler now!

    He has a Pat-copter!

    It's nice that he's been promoted. Looks like he was delivering a bouncy castle, which is a step up from delivering Busty Sluts Weekly to Alf Thompson.

    I'd like them to do a transition episode, showing what happened to the other old characters. Like Ted Glen shooting Mrs Goggins in a botched armed robbery, only to be shot dead himself by PC Selby. Or the Reverend Timms having to leave the church after his affair with Alf Thompson was leaked to the world.

    That'd be a great episode. Or maybe the new series starts with Pat drifting into town with a terrible secret and in the last episode you find out that he's keeping Mrs Goggins in a pit in his basement.

    omg, this so much reminds me of my childhood. We have a VHS from England (when I still lived there) with one episode of lots of different kids series. Like Postman Pat, something with firefighters, something with boots I guess (anthropomorphized boots), this blue train with the weird face (Tom was his name, no?)... oh man.

    I like it : )

    I thought it would be terrible and look nothing like him, but he still looks the same.

    RE: What Happened to Postman Pat

    As an 'older' fan of Postman Pat, i enjoy the new series, although i notice at the sorting office where pat goes to do his 'special delivery service' that there are no other postmen in the area he works in. Where are they? Where is all the grafiti in Greendale and the yobs hanging about the streets? It's a bit 'Jolly Hockey-sticks' i think, although i like the new ethnic characters and it's nice to have disabilities represented too.

    I must say i loved the origional series and i really like the new series too, but then again i'm just a 36 year old 'kid' anyway and i am refusing to grow up - :hyper: ;)

    They're only doing it to sell more toys.

    Did you see him when he woke up on the wrong side of the bed?

    Pretty much. No one cares about Postman Pat if he doesn't have a hundred gadgets and can hack into computers, or if he doesn't own a pet dinosaur. Kids are so fussy these days.
