Postman Pat

It seems that I have my love for post a very long time already. One of my favourite programmes when I was little was Postman Pat, or Pieter Post in Dutch. It is a British stop-motion animated children’s television series. It started in 1981 on BBC and there are 141 episodes now. The series has been broadcasted in very much countries, so lots of people must have been grown up with Postman Pat.


But for those of you who don't know it, Pat Clifton is a friendly country postman who delivers letters in the town of Greendale... He is a good postman but he always have some trouble when he gets distracted by something going on the village. He has a bright red van, and a black and white cat named Jess. (Jess is the name in the original version. Most of the characters have other names in the different language versions)

The original version:

Here some names as you might know it:
The Scottish Pàdraig Post, in Gaelic
New Zealand has plans to broadcast in Maori (they already have the English version)
In Catalonia they have Pat el carter, in Catalan
The Italian version is called Il postino Pat
In Israel they call it Pat-e Postchi which is Hebrew
Pat-e Postchi is Persian and broadcasted in Iran
In Austria and Germany they have Postbote Pat, in German
The Arabic version is called ساعي البريد
