===Music===
Music for the original 1981 series was by Bryan Daly,<ref>{{cite news|date=20 January 2012|title=Bryan DALY Obituary|newspaper=[[The Times]]|url=http://announcements.thetimes.co.uk/obituaries/timesonline-uk/obituary.aspx?n=bryan-daly&pid=155548215|url-status=dead|access-date=20 January 2012|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120707093627/http://announcements.thetimes.co.uk/obituaries/timesonline-uk/obituary-preview.aspx?n=bryan-daly&pid=155548215&referrer=2282|archive-date=7 July 2012}}</ref> who wrote a number of songs including the well-known theme tune. For the 2003 series, pop writer Simon Woodgate scored the show and wrote new songs, including a new closing theme "Postman Pat (Can You Guess What's In His Bag?)". The theme tune "Postman Pat & His Black and White Cat" was sung by [[Ken Barrie]] for the original series in the 1980s and 1990s. An extended version of the tune was released as a single in the UK where it reached number 44 in the charts in July 1982.<ref>{{cite web|title=Official Charts Company|website=[[Official Charts Company|Official Charts]] |url=https://www.officialcharts.com/search/singles/Postman%20Pat |access-date=24 March 2011 }}</ref> An album, titled ''Postman Pat: Songs and Music From the TV Series'', was released by Post Music in 1982.

The theme tune and songs for ''Postman Pat Special Delivery Service'' (including "Special Delivery Service, What's It Going to Be Today?"), was recorded by Simon Woodgate at Echobass Studios.

In 2013, DreamWorks Classics released ''Postman Pat SDS'' series 2. The new 26-episode series retained Bryan Daly's original theme tune and Simon Woodgate's closing song, however new character themes and incidental music was composed by Sandy Nuttgens.

The theme song has undergone several adaptations; from 1994 to 2006, the theme tune had additional instruments such as synthesised strings and a tambourine. A similar edit had already been made to the 1993 album version, which was an edit of the original 1982 album version.
