[edit] Article needs re-written

I've added a cleanup tag because the page is simply a mess. I can't find any evidence of these supposed "unaired" episodes but I have left them in for the moment, giving who ever added them the benefit of the doubt and a chance to add some citations. Otherwise I'll redo the whole page.--Thetriangleguy 17:51, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Total Overhaul

I just finished rebuilding the list from the top down, cross-checking titles and removing the bogus unaired episodes. There are some conflicts in the episode titles at some of the sources; in these cases, I arbitrarily picked one. I wasn't sure what to do with the specials that aired in and around series three, so I combined them into one section, though I don't feel strongly about it. This list probably needs to be formatted better, and probably should include the original air dates (though I don't fully trust the sources with respect to dates).

For airdates, the BBC Program Database is very reliable for showing all the times the episodes were shown on the BBC. It'll take a fair amount of work going through it all though.

for example the following shows the entry for the first episode Postman Pat's Finding Day, showing the first broadcast on 16 September 1981 (at 13:43).
