📺 'Postman Pat' Wednesday 16 September 1981 - BBC1: 13:45 'Postman Pat' - a British stop motion animated series, is broadcast for the first time. To the sound of Ken Barrie’s vocal stylings, welcome to yet more stop-motion charm from Olde England where one postman, accompanied by his trusty black and white cat Jess, cruised around town in his van and was responsible for sorting out an entire town’s mail plus any other mishaps that arose among the townsfolk - and all before breakfast.
