Ice Skates is the twenty-fifth episode of Postman Pat Season 6. It was written by Kirstie Falkous.
Summary[]
Pat has to deliver a pair of ice skates to Meera, who saved up for herself.
However, Pat gets snowed in at the sorting office and he and Ben must find a way out. Eventually they find a way up to the SDS Helicopter, but when the door gets locked from the outside while the ice skates are still inside the office, it is up to Jess to sort out the problem.
Meanwhile, Meera is disappointed that she does not have her ice skates to use, however the children are still having fun finding alternative things to do in the snow. The ice skates are then delivered to Meera, and she and Pat skate together.
