[@russellgrenning1317]

This is one of those gentle, unpretentious, warm and often funny and very poignant stories that the British do so wonderfully. It is a total triumph.

[@derrenlambert2279]

It's a shame they dont make them like this anymore.. not diverse enough.

What an utterly delightful film. Nice, caring people, gentle souls, I am so sick of watching what we are dished up with daily on the BBC these days!! Have decided only to watch these films on KZbin. Thank you for posting them!

[@MrCaledonia76]

There have been many different comments here, mostly positive ones. I have very much enjoyed this film, and, after a lot of thought, I have decided on the one word, which I would choose to describe it. That word would have to be " CHARMING " !

[@zzapzzin]

yup

[@user-vl8hs4fh9u]

Charming

[@SophieBird07]

What a refreshing, wonderful story to watch in these days of madness, anger, and chaos.

[@derrenlambert2279]

I had the exact same thought..

[@neeludauletsingh6407]

Just calms the mind watching the gentle pace , beautiful story of a time that’ll never come back. Thank you from New Delhi

Thank so much for introducing me to the Missing Postman. I will add this my personal collection of beloved movies, if it is available on DVD... This one is a keeper and a treasure

The Missing Postman is a two-part comedy drama originally broadcast on BBC1 on the consecutive evenings of 29 and 30 March 1997. Adapted from the Mark Wallington novel, it received the award for Best BBC Comedy Drama at the British Comedy Awards in 1997.

Alison Steadman - you know its gonna be to class.

[@MrSilvadolla]

Enjoyed the quest very much. British TV excels at such comedy drama. A gentle land and people that is sadly becoming less recognisable these days.

[@whitedrguy6503]

What a brilliant movie, great story. When you get to a certain age in life you have to follow your heart not your head, break free from the humdrum of life and live free.

[@hlloyd-fs4uf]

That all sounds good, looks good on paper, it is even nice to dream about. But all those poor bastards who got robbed by their gold digging ex's and the courts aren't feeling that sort of love in their retirement.

True. 👍

I wonder why you cried... I cried because it reminded me of the _good old England_

[@veganvocalist4782]

Same here, it is a very moving piece in a good way. These are the calibre of films that influenced and have inspired me since I was a nipper and have been fascinated by film from then on ;D

I watch this movie over and over. It’s even helps me sleep during rough times. I know every frame of this movie that I don’t have to be looking at my phone when it’s on . Fabulous movie and the music score is s masterpiece. Thank you for sharing this movie and I have spread the word to my friends and family.

[@helenlauer9545]

This is absolutely hilarious. Well done slap stick. Fantastic episode. Not naff at all, it never wears out. Excellent acting, dialogue, and direction. Beautifully done. More evidence of British television superiority.

[@charlesbergen5398]

What a beautiful musical score and with the credits rolling at the end I asked myself how many of us actually would have ever considered being like "The Missing Postman"? A wonderfully poignant production and so glad I came across it again here on KZbin....

[@hellyh6081]

Fantastic writing, great acting and a heartwarming story. Thank you so much for posting this.

[@gordonbricker1670]

The first part is fine the 2nd is about adultery...

[@isbsey]

@Gordon Bricker. This film has got nothing to do with adultery. It's partly about a couple staying together even though they aren't happy in each other's company. If the postman had found the Scottish widow and hung up his bag on her coat pegs, not to finish his delivery and the wife had let her dinner date up to her newly papered and painted bedroom, then it would have been about adultery

[@haroldwalton932]

@@gordonbricker1670 huh?....and?

[@albertafarmer8638]

@@haroldwalton932 And? "You shall not comit adultry" see Exodus 20:14. People were not meant to be unfaithful to one another once they made a commitment to love, honor, and cherish one another, just as they were not meant to be unfaithful or disobedient to God. When someone commits infidelity, that person is going against God’s plan. It also requires a callousness of the heart that is insensitive to the emotions of their partner.

[@jimshaver772]

this was a great story, and at some point it was filmed in Largs, West Coast of Scotland where we just moved, it was even more fun because we travel with the postman to the island with a ferry that nowdays is only for the islanders because of covid restrictions. I totally loved what the postman did, traveling to deliver letters on a bike, which is what someone in Switzerland is doing to this day, of course letters not through the Royal Mail, but private letters that friends start to give the Swiss postman and from then on it is what he does every summer!!! Great stuff, thank you for uploading it

[@ShoegazingHammer74]

Lovely being reminded of this again - the footage of James Bolam and Alison Steadman's house is all filmed in my road in Poole, Dorset. It was a tad surreal leaving for work each morning for a few weeks and finding Alison Steadman talking to my cat on the front wall! Oddly poignant seeing so much footage of Hamworthy and Poole from 24 or so years back and noticing how much has changed, just as everywhere does of course.
