Skippy

This ain't no action packed thriller.

I like James Bolam and I read the description before buying so I knew what I was letting myself in for, It's basically a 2 part film around 70-80 minutes each (not sure why the didn't just let it run through as it's less than 3 hours) I'm not going to go into what it's about as others have already said, I'm 60 years old I've never seen it before but to say how old it is I personally think it's as relevent today as back then i.e. technology replacing people and all that.

I enjoyed it for what it's worth and I'll watch it again in a couple of month's just for the feel good factor.

one of the best stories ever told

Both of Mark Wallington's books which I have seen televised have been treated with appropriate respect by the small screen.
Clive Peacock is a quiet little man who has been a postman for thirty five years when new technology forces him into early retirement.
Unable to face the idea of a life of metal detecting or carving decoy ducks like some of his other retired aquaintances he finds himself stealing his last mail collection and cycling all over Britain to deliver it personally.
The missing postman becomes a matter of interest in the media and Clive finds himself chased everywhere by a posse of reporters, most of whom completely miss the point, thinking that Clive is making a protest for workers rights, wheras in reality he's just delivering the mail because that's what he likes doing.
Sounds pretty lame, but it isn't. It's brilliant. Right at the top of the tree. Combines the right mix of comedy, drama, melancholy and social commentary without excessive sentimentality and without preaching. Exquisite.

Whimsical road trip? Or a man on the verge of a mental-breakdown?

This is the first time that I have seen The Missing Postman since it was first shown on BBC One back in the late-1990s. At the time (when I was 13) I saw The Missing Postman as being a rather quaint and whimsical story of a postman on a road trip who was sticking it to the man. However, at age 35, I now see it as being something much deeper....

When Clive Peacock (James Bolam) a (seemingly) quiet and uncomplicated man is forced into taking early retirement from his job as a postman, he quietly rebels by taking a bag of letters with the intention of delivering them by hand from Dorset to Scotland and back.

But on reflection this could be a story about a man about to have either a mental-breakdown, or just a casual F-you to the lot of you and do a Reggie Perrin-style road trip, as there isn't much to keep him at home other than the gorgeous Alison Steadman as his wife with whom he has rather poor communication with.
Either way I rate this story highly.

An entertaining one off. Don't miss it.

I hesitated to buy, but then so glad I did. Kind of Harold Fry channelling the Missing Postman..or the other way round. Extremely watchable, kept us entertained all the way, some hilarious moments. I won't spoil it for you. Victoria Wood could have written this, but she didn't. Especially loved and enjoyed the Scotland parts.
This is really well worth seeing, don't miss it. Actually all the characters were brilliantly played, and James Bolan was the perfect choice by the way. This film has subtitles thankfully.

Enjoyable but Too Expensive

An enjoyable little film about a postman who seeks to explore the bigger world, though not that big since the story takes place in the U.K., beyond his little life in his little town. There is humor and surprise but The Missing Postman is a little film that will appeal to viewers who enjoy series like As Time Goes By (a far superior film because of it stars Judi Dench and Geoffrey Palmer). The British, like the French, are chronic complainers and some of these complaints appear briefly throughout the story. The main complaint seems to be the feeling of being trapped in a repetitive, not very exciting, rather boring routine of life. Still, many viewers will find that small-town life of Great Britain (especially the seaside communities) very appealing. Perhaps what makes the film slightly nostalgic, and which adds irony to the story, is that that way of life has receded in the UK. In the story one of the big complaints is increasing traffic, but today the complaint is the increasing numbers of immigrants. The story is a gentle story, yet we all know that the UK is no longer as gentle and quaintly civil as we like to imagine it. Other films and certainly the crime series express that, even the older crime series such as Frost and Morse in which the police don't carry firearms. In a sense the story is--via the postman--a visit to Britain's past that is rapidly disappearing.

Overall I found the film entertaining; however, I believe it is overpriced. At 15 pounds you are paying about a pound for every 5 minutes of the show (80 min. long). I wrongly believed the series was longer when I bought it. So I would suggest buying the show used for 4 pounds free delivery; then you'll be getting your money's worth. Otherwise, spend the 8 pounds more on series such as As Time Goes By - Complete Series 1-9 or on the Mrs Bradley Mysteries, 315 minutes for less than 7 pounds.
