Another John Cunliffe interview here, where he talks quite a bit about Rosie & Jim. It also mentions the first series of Postman Pat "took nearly two years" to animate, so presumably Woodland would have started production around late 1979 or early 1980. (Telegraph and Argus, 2nd March 1996)

Kinda glad they never used the working title for this particular episode of Charlie Chalk.

I only have the front cover to go on, but I assume this issue would contain the "Miami Twice" or "One Foot in the Algarve" of Postman Pat stories.

Very much the same vibe.

John Cunliffe lost media? There is mention here of him working on a TV project to be produced by Carlton Television for 1996. As far as I know, this never came to fruition. He also reveals his reasons for leaving Rosie & Jim after the first two series. (Telegraph and Argus, 25th November 1994)

🧵 (1/2) While I've been writing about Pat's early adventures recently, this is how the comics in the 90's depicted him on his first day as postman. The full story can be found in the reply to this post.

Pat is cosplaying as the top half of a FAB ice lolly here for some reason. Pretty amusing "nope" face from Jess though.

Oh look! I remembered Bluesky exists... For anyone interested, I'm finally getting close to completing a second story in this prequel series. Hopefully I'll have it ready to publish in the next few weeks. Miss Hubbard features far more in this one and has proven surprisingly good fun to write for.

A gentle post-Christmas RT for the benefit of anyone who was taking a break from social media over the last few days. Docs link can be found in the original post.

From all of us here at the Model Engineers Society, we wish you all a Peaceful and Merry Christmas. Wishing you all the best for 2026. As a thanks for your support of the series, here's a BlueSky exclusive viewing of the new opening titles for Miniature Railway Adventures The Animated Series. ~ Cars

About a week ago I was inspired to write a Christmas-themed Postman Pat prequel, set around 10 years before the first series in 1971. This is the first fully original story I’ve written in a long time. Hope you enjoy. docs.google.com/document/d/e...

A second teaser for this. Hope to have the story published and ready to share by this evening. 🤞

The Advent Calendar didn't happen this year, but I did want to do *something* for the festive season... ...So I can now reveal a newly written Christmas themed Pat story will drop tomorrow, with some carefully edited artwork to illustrate it. A little teaser for now. :)

"Heh, it's nice to hear Mr. Daly's guitar playing again," thought Pat. X-Minus Pro used to have a hard time removing the narration from this, but it has recently upped it's game and delivered. Pun fully intended.

Taking a break from the video Advent Calendar this year, with the possiblity of it returning in 2026. In the unlikely event I've inspired anyone with mine the last few years, I encourage you to give it a try. Go nuts! Be interested to see someone else's take on the format. :)

Hello there.

Make sure you check out the last episode of Ronnie the Mole Adventures for 2025! We'll be back in the new year with five more exciting adventures! www.youtube.com/watch?v=bc-e...

@oldsquarewheels.bsky.social Wishing you a very happy birthday! Midlife Crisis Harold has been invited to the party and he's keen to show off his newly acquired breakdancing skills.

The short run of episodes featuring the Trotters' Liverpudlian cousin were found to be so funny at test screenings that they were considered a public health risk and had to be wiped. Only a fragment of the opening titles remains.

Check out today's new episode of Ronnie the Mole Adventures as Ronnie attempts to dig his way to Australia. Guest starring Tim Bain as Winston the Worm! www.youtube.com/watch?v=YD1B...

Handy hint for anyone who needs to say Mr. Fortigue-Smythe's full name aloud. The middle bit should sound much the same way Ringo pronounces "Montague." Four-ta-gyu not Four-teeg.

Genuinely curious - what are everyone's thoughts on the 90's era of Postman Pat (that being the four specials and Series 2) ? Whenever I see discussion about about "classic Pat" I find it tends to focus mainly on Series 1. Anything that appeals less about these later episodes?

In today's brand new Ronnie the Mole episode, our favourite mole is a contestant on Super Trapezoid Block-Buster 2000. Let's take a moment to send our thoughts and best wishes to the host, Alex Treebark, who is still receiving therapy. Watch here: youtu.be/FFtAGRLyyfc

Tomorrow, Ronnie goes on a gameshow! How will he get on? And more importantly, will the host ever recover?! Find out tomorrow at 1pm! youtu.be/FFtAGRLyyfc

Keeping with tradition, the plaque will be returned to the designer at least once with extensive notes on how to improve its proportions and colour. And perhaps we could add a red tail lamp. www.theguardian.com/culture/2025...

The wait is finally over! Ronnie the Mole is back! Check out the first episode of our new series on YouTube! In Pigeon Post, Cliff is replaced on his mail round by a speedy, but cocky pigeon called Perry! Postal chaos ensues! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oawp...

The original ending to Cranky Bugs, where Cranky sets his eyes on Mavis and Percy isn't best pleased…

A HUGE SUPPER OF SHEPHERD'S PIE

I can't think of many other actresses who threw themselves into physical comedy to quite the same extent. Obviously stunt doubles were used, but much of the time it was clearly her doing that stuff. One of the greats.

Set your alarms and prepare for chaos! Ronnie the Mole Adventures premieres October 15 at 1PM UK time! That’s five straight weeks of storytelling shenanigans! Subscribe so you don’t miss a minute! www.youtube.com/@RonnietheMole @tehflyingkipper.bsky.social @fantasticmrs.bsky.social

Here's John appearing alongside Arthur Lowe and Ian Lavender - but not Dad's Army as you might expect! He plays an Engine Driver in this episode of the early 70's radio sitcom Parsley Sidings.
