Postman Pat SDS

Advantages: fun
Disadvantages: none

...Postman Pat - Special Delivery Service (SDS)... Postman Pat seems to have got far better working conditions than ever before and this is clearly shown in his brand new children's television programme aired on BBC2 weekday mornings at 8.30am. Jack and I think that the whole show is truly brilliant and we have even set our set top box to record every episode as we are both well and truly hooked. (Especially as "Pat" is one of a limited number of words that Jack has in his vocabulary!). Now the Postman Pat of old used to drive a small red van delivering letters of maybe even small packages. This new series shows Pat delivery some of the most strangest things from bouncy castles to cattle! It appears that Postman Pat has got a promotion and is now Head of the Special Delivery Service meaning that he is the proud user...

Review of Postman Pat SDS Programme

Postman Pat and his black and white cat

Advantages: The different challenges you keep facing
Disadvantages: Sometimes no break between one challenge to another

...Postman Pat is a children?s television programme which has gone on for many years now. Recently it has been upgraded quite a bit and has more graphics added to it. They brought out a game which tries to copy the television show on the Nintendo Ds Console which I am admitting to playing purely because it was there and I wanted something fun to play. The Game The game is all about Postman Pat as you might have guessed. You begin doing some challenges in this story mode feature. You get to see Postman Pat and his mail and the first few challenges are to do with catching mail which is flying around and trying to put it back into the sack for which they flew away from. Another challenge shortly after is when you need to place parcels into his van before the clock runs out. Each level you do has a set target score you need...

Postman Pat ...... Before the Helicopter!

Advantages: Cheap and Sturdy
Disadvantages: none

...Postman Pat Pocket library......... Jack is a little bookworm and loves nothing more than a good book. His latest obsession (well his first one really) is Postman Pat. Of course, the Postman Pat Special Delivery Service, which is on every weekday morning 9.15am on BBC2, is a lot jazzier than Postman Pat used to be, so it not surprising he can't get enough of it. With Pat jetting about in his "Special Delivery" helicopter delivery parcels to all over Greendale it would make any little boy aspire to be a Postman! Anyway it was a little while ago now that we purchased these books from Waterstone's and there was a buy 3 for 2 offer on but these books were selling for £3.99p. I have seen them cheaper on the Internet but the saving is merely a few pence (and with postage would probably tot it up over £4). What you are getting...

Review of Postman Pat Pocket Library - Egmont Books Ltd.

Postman Pat Bumper Collection

Advantages: A great fun packed DVD - great value for money
Disadvantages: None

...Postman Pat is a timeless classic that appeals to generation after Generation -I remember as a young child being ascinated by the adventures of Postman Pat and his black and white cat. Now, more than 20 years on my son shares my love of the goings on in Greendale. The ever popular animated series was written by John Cunliffe, and with the artistic skills of animator Ivor Wood the Postman Pat story was first brought to life on tv in 1981. Each episode is about 15 minutes long and follows the story of how Postman Pat and his cat Jess deliver post around the village of Greendale. But inevitably Postman Pat is always drawn into the mishaps and dilemmas of the residents of Greendale, which detract him from the work he is meant to do. The Characters in Postman Pat are: Pat Clifton - Village Postman (Postman Pat) (1981-) Jess the cat...

Review of Postman Pat's Bumper Collection (DVD)

Hello Postman Pat

Advantages: Faithful reproduction of TV series character, seems robust
Disadvantages: Possible small parts

...Postman Pat, Postman Pat, Postman Pat and his black and white ca-aaaaat? OK, hands up, who DOESN?T know this song? No-one with a child under the age of about 10 I should imagine. My three year old screams, ?Postman Pat? and points excitedly if he spots a post van when we are out and about. And then the singing starts? This is all the fault of the fantastically popular BBC series, staring Postman Pat and his faithful black and white sidekick, Jess. So when my son unwrapped this friction van from his grandparents for Christmas, we were treated to yet another chorus. I must admit, since he already had a whole stack of ?push-along? toys, I wasn?t sure how much play he would get out of it, but it has become a firm favourite. The van is made from bright red moulded plastic, and is about 7? / 17cm long and 5? / 12cm tall. The number...

Review of Born to Play Postman Pat Friction Van

Postman Pat delivers, again!

Advantages: Funny plots, great animation, four great tales.
Disadvantages: Poor extras

.... There is an Ice Cream Making game which will please your child for a little one but will not last. There are a number of better extras on children's DVDs than this one. *** Product Information*** Released: 20th September 2004 Running time: 61 minutes Extras: Ice-cream Machine Game RRP: £ 16.99 *** CONCLUSION *** Buy this! It will entertain both adults and children alike and with repeat viewings you will certainly get your money's worth. I'm sure you will be able to find it for cheaper than the RRP by now. And of course you will be singing the song for weeks.. .. altogether now " Postman Pat, Postman Pat, Postman Pat and his black and white...." You see you do remember it....

Review of Postman Pat Folding Lunchbox Set

Celebrating 25 years of Postman Pat

Advantages: Harmless Fun for Pre-schoolers
Disadvantages: I can't see any

...The Anniversary ---------------------- This year marks the 25th anniversary of the Postman Pat series running on BBC. The first generation of little Postman Pat fans are all grown up now and some of them may be buying this DVD for their own children. The first ever episode, titled Pat's Finding Day, aired on 16th September 1981. The Great Big Party DVD was released on 18th September 2006, exactly 25 years later. Postman Pat Then and Now -------------------------------------- During these 25 years the imaginary village of Greendale has seen a lot of changes. The animation has been greatly improved, the set completely re-designed, some characters sadly forgotten and some new ones introduced. Whatever happened to Granny Dryden, Miss Hubbard, Major Forbes and Sam Waldron? Who knows? New characters have arrived on the scene...

Review of Postman Pat - Great Big Party (DVD)

How many parcels can Pat carry?

Advantages: great game for little ones
Disadvantages: none

...We bought this game for my daughter when she was almost three for Christmas and it has provided her with a lot of fun ever since - although I probably would have to say that she does not yet play the game as intended. This is not altogether surprising as the game does have a minimum age of three years so she still is a tad young! The main reasons though that she is not yet up to playing the game properly is that she is not yet completely au fait with the conventions of board games - especially that most important one of turn taking! However, her four and a half year old sister is fully into playing the game. I will endeavour to describe what they both get out of it! The game is actually quite a simple one and based on that favourite children's character - Postman Pat! There is about a 4 inch plastic figure of Pat and he is placed...
