Once ... we were Postmen

Please check the colour of the moon tonight and look up NOAA's estimate for the temperature in Hell.

An old-fashioned stop-motion kids' TV show is being remade ... but not in CG.

Postman Pat in the Twenty-First (and a half?) Centuryyyy!

Also, who wants to bet that the character of Arthur Weasley is at least subliminally influenced by Postman Pat? Anyone?

*Cries over her ruined childhood memories* I loved Postman Pat when I was a kid, but this... seriously, what the hell are they thinking!?!?

Aw. Postman Pat is adorable. I have this vague feeling of familiarity about that show... perhaps I saw the original when I was younger, but I can't recall.

What's all this about the moon, now?

Also: have you seen this?? http://evilleagueofevil.com/

... and there was MUCH SNICKERING at Chez Tealin.

Alas I have no talents that would interest the League. I shall watch with interest, though. :D

AUGH MY CHILDHOOD!

Fireman Sam (he's the hero next-dooooor!) had the gadgets. Pat was gentle and friendly and just got into various muddles delivery post in a village somewhere with drystone walls. He had tea with the vicar! He once lost his cat in the fog, and that was enough fodder for a whole episode!

I'll be over here, weeping quietly...

Thats the only bright side of this I can think of.
