Children's stop-frame animation. Postman Pat and his cat Jess deliver the post to residents of Greendale, including Mrs Goggins the post-mistress, Reverend Timms, PC Arthur Selby and Dr Sylvia Gilbertson. It's a warm day and Postman Pat stops off for a picnic lunch half way through his round. He falls asleep in the warm sunshine and while he sleeps, a thieving hen causes him no end of trouble.
