==Parodies== *''[[Harry Enfield & Chums]]'' featured a parody entitled "Il Postino Pat" (the show's Italian title), with an operatic reworking of the theme tune and the characters speaking in Italian, referencing the film ''[[Il Postino: The Postman]]''. At the end, Pat instigates a [[Communism|communist]] revolution in Greendale before being shot and killed by fascist soldiers.<ref>{{cite web|title=Harry Enfield and Chums - S2 Ep5 - BBC|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQDZ1uFZBkU|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151128135026/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQDZ1uFZBkU|archive-date=28 November 2015|via=YouTube}}</ref> * ''[[Harry & Paul]]'' parodied Postman Pat in series 3 and 4 with "Parking Pataweyo", an African immigrant working as a stereotypically uncompromising traffic warden, played by [[Daniel Kaluuya]], whose name and theme tune are based on Pat's. *In 1987, ''[[Spitting Image]]'', the topical satirical puppet series, featured "Temporary Postman Pratt"<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxQD1MNbdeg "Temporary Postman Pratt on Spitting Image (ITV)"], ''Spitting Image (ITV)''.</ref> in a send-up of Royal Mail's employment of temporary postal workers during busy times. In the opening titles, Pratt can be seen driving a familiar (though yellow in colour) van along country roads before running over a black and white cat. Pratt likes to clear his workload as quickly as he can by dumping the post rather than delivering it. He is portrayed as a student who is lazy and rude. The segment was animated by [[Aardman Animations]]. * In 1986, an episode of ''[[Bobby Davro]] on the Box'' featured ''Postman Pete'', alongside other characters with spoofed names, such as ''Granny Wisden'' and ''Fred Ben''. The segment was narrated and the theme tune was sung by the original series narrator, [[Ken Barrie]]. * In 1997, an episode of ''[[The Treacle People]]'' briefly featured a section of the ''Postman Pat'' theme song, as a postcard was delivered by a walking postbox accompanied by a pink cat. *In the round ''Scenes We'd Like to See'' on ''[[Mock the Week]]'', series 15 episode 3, entitled ''Things you Wouldn't Hear on a Kids' TV Show'', [[Miles Jupp]] recorded the following parodied lines: "[[Yodel (company)|Yodel]] delivery driver Pat, Yodel delivery driver Pat / He's thrown your parcel in a hedge". *In 2009, ''Casseta & Planeta Urgente'' parodied select episodes of series 6 under the title ''Carteiro Pot, o Serviço de Entregas Opcionais'': in this parody, the characters spoke in Portuguese and the theme tune had a synthesized instrumental and was performed by [[Fiuk (singer)|Fiuk]] and [[Marcelo Madureira]] with new lyrics by [[Casseta & Planeta]].
