It’s just dawned on me that the hateful bastards in charge at Postman Pat PLC, have changed the the bloody theme tune. No longer is it “Postman Pat and his black and white cat”,no, it’s been replaced by a forgettable generic effort that washes over you like elevator muzak (hence why i just realised it had changed). It’s awful.
But why change it? By all means bring back Pat - one of TV’s more genteel and honourable characters, but why change one of its classic tunes and replace it with god-awful aural tedium?
Mind you, the new theme is more suitable than this intro (seriously, NSFW).

I think it’s just the credits music at the end that’s changed. They’ve done the same with the new series of Thomas the Tank Engine.
No idea why they’d do that.
Apparently, in forthcoming Postman Pat series, Pat becomes something more of a superhero, and has a helicopter:

Hi Matt,
A fucking heli-ma-copter?
I thought Pat was about teaching kids about responsibility, family, and the daily hell that is getting up early in the morning?
Clearly it’s about misleading kids into thinking the postal service is akin to being in the special forces.
Is it just the outro? I must admit that is what I caught this morning. Relieved.
Yeah, I’m pretty sure the new series has the same tune in intro, with the cisuals following Pat on his rounds, with the hilarious, “Letters/let us through your door” line. Lettuce.
