Postman Pat's Pied Piper is the eleventh episode of Postman Pat Season 4. It was written by Elly Brewer.
Plot[]
A group of lost field mice are causing lots of trouble in the Greendale, eating away at Pat's letters, Sara's muffins, Ajay's whistle rope and Nikhil's blanket. Ajay makes a booby-trap to try and catch the mice, but it ends up capturing Reverend Timms instead. Luckily with the help of Pat's penny whistle and Julian and Meera's recorders, the mice are able to be led home safely.

Goofs[]
- In the opening shot, PAT 1 is missing its rear number plate.
- The Greendale Rocket's whistle should have had a chain, not a rope.
- The mice would not have possibly been able to eat the whistle rope as it would be too high for them to get to.
- Sara should know that cats do not eat muffins.
- Pat uses his hat to catch the mice and they dodge it. After this, Pat's hat suddenly appears back on his head before Julian brings it back to him.
