What is Postman Pat and the Ice Cream Machine about?
It's picnic day in Greendale, and Ted Glen has made a clever machine to serve ice cream to everyone. But just as the treats are ready, the power goes off! Ted tries one idea after another, while Pat lends a hand and even connects the machine to his van. Will they get it working before the children arrive? With teamwork, determination and a little ingenuity, the villagers save the picnic—and discover a surprising flavour that Jess loves, although Pat is not impressed.
