Editing Postman Pat (section)

==''Postman Pat: Special Delivery Service''==
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 sidecar for Jess.<ref>[https://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/10/01/postman_pat_makeover/ "Postman Pat goes postal"], ''The Register''.</ref> 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 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 BBC Two on 29 September 2008. The new series was commissioned by the BBC and produced by Entertainment Rights and [[Cosgrove Hall Films]].
