Talk:List of Postman Pat episodes

Article needs re-written
I've added a cleanup tag because the page is simply a mess. I can't find any evidence of these supposed "unaired" episodes but I have left them in for the moment, giving who ever added them the benefit of the doubt and a chance to add some citations. Otherwise I'll redo the whole page.--Thetriangleguy 17:51, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Total Overhaul
I just finished rebuilding the list from the top down, cross-checking titles and removing the bogus unaired episodes. There are some conflicts in the episode titles at some of the sources; in these cases, I arbitrarily picked one. I wasn't sure what to do with the specials that aired in and around series three, so I combined them into one section, though I don't feel strongly about it. This list probably needs to be formatted better, and probably should include the original air dates (though I don't fully trust the sources with respect to dates).

 * For airdates, the BBC Program Database is very reliable for showing all the times the episodes were shown on the BBC. It'll take a fair amount of work going through it all though.
 * http://catalogue.bbc.co.uk/catalogue/infax/series/POSTMAN+PAT/
 * for example the following shows the entry for the first episode Postman Pat's Finding Day, showing the first broadcast on 16 September 1981 (at 13:43).

Has this webpage been superceded by wikia?
The wikia lists many more episodes from Series 3 to Series 7 (26-28 episodes per series). I note, in particular, episode 7.26 - Postman_Pat_and_the_Christmas_Panto_Horse - which was recently broadcast on CBeebies, but there seem to be many other episodes, unlisted here, which wikia claims to have been broadcast.

Why have new SDS Series 3 details been removed?
Series 8 (SDS Series 3) is currently being broadcast on CBeebies. I noticed that the details for this new series were being added to the wiki, but they now seem to have been reverted off. Any particular reason why? Kirbett (talk) 13:29, 23 November 2016 (UTC)
 * I have readded the third series, along with missing references.--Carniolus (talk) 15:17, 25 November 2016 (UTC)

Fan generated content
Just for the sake of future reference; Wikipedia does not list shoddy, fan-made, "re-makes" of Postman Pat, containing copyright violations of the original programme, on unofficial Youtube channels. Wikipedia is not a fansite and this is not an appropriate place for these. -- Escape Orbit (Talk) 11:40, 7 October 2017 (UTC)

Fan generated content
Although I appreciate Wikipedia states it does not want fan-based detail and the tag assumes such content would not be of interest to general readers, in my opinion it is just such a fan that does appreciate the detail - exactly what I wanted to find when I searched for the page. Details of the episodes, as full as possible! (I'm not disputing whether or not content may violate any copyright law or other; that is not my issue.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by David Rule (talk • contribs) 23:44, 29 November 2018 (UTC)

+++ Today I have taken a better look into this article and I can find nothing that would justify either of the two tags. (I have been researching Episode Lists of various vintage television programmes; this page does not greatly differ from the others - *except that it lacks some production detail introducing each new series.) Thank you for your attention. comment added by David Rule (talk • contribs) 09:24, 30 November 2018 (UTC)

Concerns over grammatical quality.
Having noted that the episode summary for "Postman Pat and the Suit of Armour" contains a typographical error, the quality of the episode table appears dubious. I do not know how to go about editing this document but plainly it is not flawless. GyrateTau (talk) 20:05, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
