		"Postman, Postman Pat, Can you guess what's in his bag?" This splendid new series comes to us via Entertainment Rights, who aquired Ivor Wood's Woodland Animation rights a wee while back. They brought in Cosgrove Hall to spruce up Greendale and its inhabitants and they've done a quite marvellous job. It's amazing what you can do with modern models and a brush of CGI. You see, Greendale's now bigger and busier. The school has more children. There's a whole new family at the old railway station too. There are new modern appliances in the homes and on the streets, and over and around everyone there's an abundance of changeable weather - enough for all seasons, indeed. Now, listen closely and you'll notice there's no narrator. And if we look closer still we'll notice the biggest change of all: Pat and his friends now have lip-synched mouths! The series was ushered in with "Postman Pat and the Greendale Rocket", a 25minute special in which the old Greendale Light Railway is renovated, and a brand new family move to the station to attend to its running (see below). The film actually premiered on DVD prior to its tv broadcast. It was was released as a double-bill with a second special "Postman Pat's Magic Christmas" in November 2003. The BBC subsequently broadcast "Greendale Rocket" on September 6th 2004, and from thereon the first of the regular episodes aired daily, throughout the week... The Cosgrove Hall specials Postman Pat and the Greendale Rocket (2003) In which the local school children rediscover the Greendale Rocket. This special introduces us to the Bains family, Ajay and Nisha Bains and the children Meera and Nikhil who hail from nearby Pencaster. They subsequently become full-time Greendale residents... Postman Pat's Magic Christmas (2003) A postman's lot is never easy, especially at Christmas, when there are so many packages and cards to deliver. Pat is having trouble getting his round finished in time for the village Christmas party. But help is at hand from a jolly bearded stranger... Postman Pat Clowns Around (2004) Oh no, the circus was supposed to be coming to town, but the performers have been taken ill. That's the cue for the village school kids to put on their very own circus... Postman Pat and the Pirate Treasure (2004) Avast! - Pat's cousin Matt Clifton has hopped over from America. Matt's a bit of a sailor and Pat and Julian sail with him to a small island, on a mission to track down the Greendale cup - a trophy which Matt buried as a young boy...
