Britain's favourite Postie celebrates 20 years of service. A household name and still one of the UK's leading pre-school characters. There's a whole year of celebratory events planned besides TV transmissions of past series over the summer months, on BBC2. The BBC will release yet another video compilation in April this year. Two major exhibitions are planned at Longleat between March and October and a special Anniversary weekend is planned at Hamleys in September. There will be holiday promotions in the summer at Lakeside Shopping Centre with performances of the brand new Postman Pat Puppet Show, which will tour the UK. A special Anniversary commemorative silver van will be offered through the Annual to 100 competition entrants.
