The missing postman
2025
DVDs
Clive Peacock is a postman in a small seaside town in Dorset. He's happy in his job and doesn't want it to change. But new technology is being introduced in his sorting office. But he doesn't want to retire. On his last day, he collects the post... and decides to deliver it by hand himself as a protest. He is hotly pursued by the police who want to arrest him for "stealing Her Majesty's mail" and by the media who see a great human interest story and turn him into a celebrity.
