I originally owned a couple of Postman Pat videos that were themed on on numbers and letters and the animation used in those releases is ordinary 2D animation (cartoon) instead of the usual stop motion animation in the regular series. Should we mention that in the article? trainfan01 talk 20:40, February 1, 2011 (UTC)
Yes, these were directed by Ivor Wood and based, in part on books by John Cunliffe.

In November 2010, a parody on the series "Postman Patrick" was first seen on Youtube, uploaded by a user calling himself "Johnny Yacuntya". The videos feature footage from the original 1996 series with extremely vulgar voice overdubs, portraying the characters as low-class, angry habitants of rural Ireland. The series faces copyright claims from Classic Media Ltd, but has nevertheless achieved a widespread cult following, especially in the Republic of Ireland [1] —Preceding unsigned comment added by 149.157.1.180 ( talk) 20:33, 31 March 2011 (UTC)
Please can somebody remove this from the article - I can't, it's protected.
"The show was originally conceived to propagandise children as, in reality, a postman will rock up at about noon wearing a pair of shorts and his breakfast (when he's not on strike of course). A "real" Postman Pat would be rifling through birthday cards for ready cash and chucking elastic bands like confetti, or leaving peoples' valuables out on the step."

I'm new to editing Wiki articles and don't want to just change things, but in episode 20 of SDS titled "Postman Pat and the sticky situation" where Pat delivers Alf's quad bike Pat states that he has never ridden a quad bike before and Pat7 looks more like a jeep to me. So what do you think? Is pat7 a quad bike or a 4x4? Random483 ( talk) 17:20, 6 September 2014 (UTC)
will the voice of postman pat have a replacement? Dr.T.Rahman ( talk) 09:17, 1 August 2016 (UTC)

I notice that EvergreenFir ( talk · contribs) restored an old version in this edit. It's not clear whether the issue was with the addition of secondary/misleading fluff by anonymous editors or the changes I made (first name "John" -> surname "Cunliffe" as per standard style), but I assume it was the former.
Perhaps it might be useful if EvergreenFir could give a brief rationale for the reversion in their edit summaries?
Note that it now seems possible to undo changes made in an intermediate edit (i.e. one that wasn't the most recent), which IIRC it never used to be. This means it should be possible to not throw the baby out with the bathwater in cases like this, though I do agree that if things get too messy, it's sometimes better to revert to a "known good" version.
