Postman Pat and the Sneaky Sheep is the twentieth episode of Postman Pat Season 4. It was written by Rebecca Stevens.
Summary[]
In the village of Greendale, the Green is covered in dandelions, much to P.C. Selby's dismay as he sees them as weeds. The children are bored and all the adults are busy doing normal chores. Julian and Charlie decide to help with the chores and get some of their friends involved so they can form 'The Saturday Club'. The children split up to do various jobs, but something keeps destroying all their efforts.
Everywhere they find sheep's wool, so Pat and the children go to Thompson Ground for investigation. Meanwhile, P.C. Selby and Ajay hold a stakeout at the school to catch the vandels.
It turns out that Alf Thompson's sheep have been escaping by rolling over the cattle grid, so he and the others set out to round them all up again. They are then put to work on the village green to eat up all the dandelions, thus making up for the mess they caused.
