As a child I loved Postman Pat. I would make my mum rent me out the videos from our local video shop, just hearing the catchy tune makes me smile.
When I had my first child 9 years ago, I started watching it again and was shocked how much it had changed! Now I am still watching it with my third child Mark and I can honestly say I feel officially old when I announce that on the 16th September Postman Pat is 30!
Postman Pat is the longest running animated TV series on the BBC, that’s an amazing achievement!
We were sent a copy of the limited edition ‘Happy Birthday Pat’ DVD to review. The first to spot the sparkly DVD was my 6 year old daughter Brooke who couldnt wait to get Marks postman pat toys out and settle down to watch the DVD.
The DVD comes in a special slip case which has shiny foil detail. Slipping the DVD out there is 2 discs inside, the first is the DVD ‘Happy Birthday Pat’ which has 8 fabulous episodes on which provide over three hours of Postman Pat fun. These include:
– Postman Pat’s Great Big Party
– Postman Pat Takes The Bus
– Postman Pat & The Toy Soilders
– Postman Pat & The Tuba
– Postman Pat & The Greendale Rocket
– Postman Pat & The Barometer
– Postman Pat Clowns Around
– Postman Pat’s Pirate Treasure.
There is also a bonus limited edition party CD which contains 15 tracks for you and your children to sing along to. We love a good dance around the house while tidying up, so this will come in very handy!
This DVD is brilliant, I love the ‘Postman Pat’s Great Big Party’ episode. It features all of the characters rallying around to create Pat a special birthday party, but he has no idea and thinks everyone has forgotten. It’s a great episode and we have watched it 3 times already as the kids all love it.
