Editing Postman Pat (section)

===DVD and VHS releases===
====United Kingdom====
VHS and Betamax releases of Series 1 were originally released by Longman Video in the early-1980s, before [[BBC Worldwide]] secured them, and later released the four TV specials and Series 2 on VHS. For Series 1, the original opening titles which featured Pat driving in the original version of his van with a generic crown logo (which was used until Pat's Thirsty Day) was replaced with an edited version of the shot for shot remake of the original intro (which had Pat driving the Royal Mail Van) as used when the show aired in countries like France and Australia. The edits made to the intro on the DVD involved some shots being replaced by scenes from "Pat's Difficult Day", "Pat Takes A Message", and "Pat's Foggy Day". This edited intro was also used when CBeebies and BritBox reran the show.

After the sale of Woodland Animations to [[Entertainment Rights]], the company began releasing VHS and DVDs of the revival series through their video label [[Entertainment Rights]] and distributor [[Universal Pictures Home Entertainment]]. Right released only one classic series volume on VHS and DVD - ''Postman Pat in a Muddle'' in April 2004, which contained three Series 2 episodes.

While no further classic series releases were seen in the UK until 2011, Universal and Classic Media issued all four specials from 1991 to 1994 on the DVD ''Happy Birthday Postman Pat''. On 3 February 2014, the first and second series were made available in their entirety for the first time in the UK, However, the titles are both season 2 with the season 3 theme which came under scrutiny from classic fans and also credits Carole Boyd as doing voices in series 1, despite it being only Ken Barrie at the time.<ref>{{cite web|date=3 February 2014|title=Postman Pat: Series 1 – Postman Pat Takes A Message|url=https://www.amazon.co.uk/Postman-Pat-Takes-Message-DVD/dp/B00GE7IT60|publisher=[[Amazon (company)|Amazon]]}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|date=3 February 2014|title=Postman Pat: Series 2 – Postman Pat's Big Surprise|url=https://www.amazon.co.uk/Postman-Pat-Pats-Big-Surprise/dp/B00GE7IT6U|publisher=[[Amazon (company)|Amazon]]}}</ref>
