Postman Pat and his black and white cat, Jess, were the brainchild of the author John Cunliffe. Pat and the village of Greendale were brought to the screen by Ivor Wood of Woodland Animations, who produced the first Postman Pat episode in 1981. A new series was aired in 2004, making Pat a firm favourite with children for over 20 years.
