Trivia Edit
- In 2013, the story in Postman Pat Live from Premier Stage Productions was almost the same as this film.
- Gary Barlow was originally going to be Pat's singing voice, but was later changed to Ronan Keating.
- It was originally hoped that Kate Winslet would play Sara Clifton, but the role was given to Susan Duerden instead.
- This film marks the return of Miss Hubbard, Major Forbes and George Lancaster. Miss Hubbard was last seen doing a cameo role in Postman Pat and the Green Rabbit and George and Major Forbes have not appeared since Season 2.
- The film's working title was Postman Pat: The Movie - You Know You're the One.
- Some the early robots were based on the title character from the Disney and Pixar movie "WALL•E", Robot B3 from "Lost in Space" and a Dalek from the BBC science-fiction series "Doctor Who". The latter is refered to in the end credits as "Not a Dalek".
- Character's Convertible Postman Pat features as one of Pat's merchandising items in this film.
- Pat now has three buttons on his uniform jacket instead of two.
- Pat is revealed to be 33 years old, a reference to the number of years in 2014 since the show's launch.
- P.C. Selby is referred to as Constable Selby in the movie.
- The television series is referenced when Mr. Brown says they are going to make a telly programme with puppets.
- The DVD cover had the film first rated as PG, this was later revived to its original U certificate.
- On Monday 2nd May, 2016, the film made its terrestrial television debut in the UK on Channel 4.
- This is the last "Postman Pat" production to be written by Annika Bluhm.
- Josh's handheld console was based on a PlayStation Portable or PlayStation Vita.
- Wilf makes a reference to the Disney Channel teen sitcom "Hannah Montana".
- It is unknown why Nikhil, Bonnie and Pumpkin were absent from the film, despite being major characters since their debuts.
- Merra With Charlie - Bill - Lucy - Lizzy in Crosswalk Instead of Sarah Gilbertson
- Julian Was Wearing Manchester Football Shirt In This Movie
GoofsEdit
- At some points, Ted's lorry seems to be being driven by someone else.
- In the flashbacks to Pat's Wedding, Ajay, Nisha and Lauren appear despite the fact that they were introduced later on in the series.
- Pat should have had his hat off during his wedding and a regular suit.
- In a flashback where Jess is introduced to the Clifton household, there is a photo of him already on the mantle piece, despite him just being introduced. This is most likely due to the animator not removing the reference to his existence.
- In real life, Wilf would have been critically injured after being run over twice.
- As the Greendale Light Railway runs between Greendale and Pencaster, Ajay would need to make special arrangments in order to take the Greendale Rocket on to London.
- The Greendale Rocket engine has more than one connecting rod.
- The doorman and the Postman Pat fans outside the studio at the "You're the One" finals should have recognised the real Postman Pat when they saw him.
- In the end credits, Ted Glen's name is misspelt with two N's.
