Released in 2004 by Right Entertainment "Postman Pat in a muddle" is an ideal dvd for any postman pat fan, it is based on the original stories by ivor wood and books by Jonh cunliffe, postman pat is a rural postman who helps out his friends in the village of greendale.
certificate Uc it is suitable for all the family altough lets face it not alot of grown ups are going to watch it if the kids arent around.
All the classic characters are here with a few new extras. theres obviously pat and a newly animated jess, mrs. goggins, ted glen, reverend timmns, and ms. hubbard, new characters include major forbes who owns garner hall. the animation is slightly updated since the originals but has lost none of its appeal.
EPISODES Running at approximately 44 mins long the dvd is made up of 3 episodes- Postman pat and the suit of armour-It is the grand opening of garner hall and pats tries to jelp ms.hubbard write a history of the hall for her to talk to the visitors about. ted glen is given the task of fixing an old suit of armour and caos ensues as he tries on the suit and gets stuck.
Postman pat in a muddle- Postman pats glasses are smashed when a large parcel lands on them in the post office, he borrows an old pair of mrs. goggins but he still cant see very well, ted glen offers to help pat with his rounds but lots of letters get mixed up and go to the wrong people(sounds like normal royal mail to me!)
Postman pat and the robot- Pat is sick but has to go to work to deliver the mail, ted offers to build pat a robot to help deliver the mail, after suprising mrs.goggins in the post office the robot runs off with the mail, leaving a trail of letters behind him for pat and ted to follow.
STAFF/CAST Written by John Cunliffe Directed by Ivor Wood Music by Brian Daly Animation by George Laban Sets and vehicles by Brian Driver Voices by Ken Barrie and Carole Bord
FEATURES The dvd has no special features other than an episode selection. If you choose to play all the 3 episodes follow directly after eachother, if you choose episode selection you go to a seperate menu and you can select which one to watch. you are unable to select individual scenes from an episode.
Once all 3 episodes have finished the dvd takes you to the 3 episode selection menu, if you dont turn the dvd off it will start the first episode on the menu, if you still dont turn it off after the episode finishes it will start the same episode again!
THE DVD Certificate UC 44 min run time Region 2 pal format Dolby digital sound
The dvd comes in a standard plastic dvd case, not very durable. the cover is bright blue featuring the postman pat logo and dvd title plus and image of pat in an oversized pair of glasses sat in a pile of items from the post office(bucket, mop etc etc)
Retailing from £3.99 it available from Asda, woolworhs, virin, hmv and online stores including play.com and amazon.
PERSONAL EXPERIENCE My little boy is a huge pat fan and loves the dvd, it is only 3 episodes long and thats not enough for him, in fact there was one day when he was poorly that he watched the dvd 4 times in a row, there was no reasoning with him it was postman pat and thats all there was to it! the episodes dont get weighed down with morals like alot of kids cartoons do nowadays they're quite light hearted and fun and the kids will love the chaos caused by pat and ted(in all episodes in fact)
one thing i really dislike about the dvd though is that the back advertises some of the postman pat merchandise, i dont think its neccesary and certainly doesnt make parents lives easy when they're being nagged for the latest pat toy.
id recommend this dvd if you want something to keep the little ones busy while you do the tea or wash the dishes but not if you want to sit down and watch it with them.
