You have surfed into a web site dedicated to providing you original Windows95 Desktop Themes for you to download and enjoy. This page is my tribute to that ever popular children’s animated BBC Television series Postman Pat created for TV by Ivor Wood and based on the original stories written by John Cunliffe.

Postman Pat was one of Britain's best loved children’s programmes and is set in a typical Cumbrian village of the 80's. Greendale is the setting for the adventures of Postman Pat and, as the catchy theme tune recalls, his black and white cat - Jess. The programme derives much of its charm from the strong characters created by John Cunliffe. P.C. Selby, The Reverend Timms, Ted Glen, Alf and Dorothy Thompson., Miss Hubbard, Granny Drysden, Mrs. Goggins the post mistress and Pat's son Julian all combine to bring life to the village of Greendale and Pat's postal round brings him into contact with all the characters on a regular basis ensuring variety and scope for the adventures and stories that unfold for the tiny ones who will love this Programme.

I regret that I have little more information to offer you on this series. There must be more information out there to gather on this programme and if anyone has any information that I could pass on, please e-mail me and I will ensure that we capture it here. Looking back on these programmes now, some 20 years on, and in light of the success of such animators as Nick Park and others, one can see how people like Nick Park could have been motivated to create Wallace and Gromit from TV programmes such as Postman Pat. Indeed, set in the Yorkshire Dales, there is a certain Wallace and Gromit feel to the programme, although the scripts are not written to be funny in the same way that Wallace and Gromit's adventures were. Finally, an old joke that always brings a smile to my face - what did they call Postman Pat when he retired.... Pat!
