When Edwin Carbunkle made PATBOT 3000 take over everything to do with post in Pencaster and Greendale, Ben lost his job. Then whilst wandering the streets of Greendale without a day's work to go to, he suddenly became very suspicious about how more than one Pat seemed to be rushing around in the vans at dangerous speeds. Ben hopped onto his motor bike and he and Jess went to spy on the sorting office. When he saw what Carbunkle's devious scheme was, Ben told Sara and the two of them rallied all the locals of Greendale together and they all went over to London to support the real Postman Pat and show that no robot could replace his true good nature.
