The series features an expanded and diverse cast, a fleet of new vehicles, a world full of gadgets and the new town of Pencaster. Postman Pat: Special Delivery Service first screened on BBC2 on 29 September 2008. The new series was commissioned by the BBC and produced by Entertainment Rights and Cosgrove Hall Films. The content of Postman Pat's Finding Day and Letters on Ice used on the 1993 re-release would also be used again on the 1996 Postman Pat 2 on 1 video release, which is a re-release of Postman Pat 1 (BBCV 4028) and Postman Pat 2 (BBCV 4029). Greendale's suffering a very hard winter and the weather is especially icy today. Still, nothing must stop the post from getting through - even if Pat does have to resort to skating. In the spin-off series, Postman Pat: Special Delivery Service, Postman Pat has been promoted to Head of the SDS and is now called upon to deliver anything. Each episode follows Postman Pat on a Special Delivery mission, from rescuing a runaway cow to delivering a giant ice cube. In his new role, Postman Pat commutes to the nearby town of Pencaster where he collects his special deliveries from the Pencaster Mail Centre. Postman Pat now has a newer fleet of vehicles including a bigger van, gyrocopter, 4x4 Jeep and motorbike, complete with side-car for Jess. [10] He has a new boss, Ben, who tends to give him instructions (whereas he was his own master before the "promotion"). Pat also seems to make more mistakes in his work since moving to SDS, largely because the new format is always based on one delivery, which has to go wrong somehow (thus often because of Pat's errors). The content of The Sheep in The Clover Field - used on the 1993 re-release of Postman Pat 1 (BBCV 4028) and the 1996 Postman Pat 2 on 1 video release - would also be used again on the 2000 BBC Video release of BBC Toybox 7: Animal Adventures (BBCV 6941).In the second series of the show, which aired in 1996, the village at the centre of the series was briefly referred to as Garner Bridge, while Greendale was the name of the valley in which Garner Bridge was situated. In the episode Postman Pat and the Suit of Armour, Greendale Post Office is referred to as "Garner Bridge Post Office". In 1986, an episode of Bobby Davro on the Box featured Postman Pete, alongside other characters with spoofed names, such as Granny Wisden and Fred Ben. The segment was narrated and the theme tune was sung by the original series narrator, Ken Barrie.
