er…just happened to be watching this the other day.What’s happened in Greendale?There’s a whole host of new people,including an Asian family and someone who appears to be from some part of Yorkshire.There’s a lout on a motorbike and even the theme tune has changed.Bring it back and save Greendale so it can be what it was 😃

I’d just like to take this opportunity to point out that near the beginning of _ **It’s Pat! The Movie** _, Pat is working as a postal carrier.

Greendale _is_ in Yorkshire - the only “out of place” accent I can think of belongs to the Geordie teacher. The Indian family moved in from Pencaster, which seems to be a kind of fictional Bradford, after their father Arjay, a steam engine nut, got involved with the restoration of the Greendale Rocket. Haven’t seen any motorcycle louts, but maybe I’m not up with the latest series: I hope they _haven’t_ changed the theme tune - I can still impress Little Case by whistling it.

Hey, it’s on my must see list- not the top of it but still on it. I ran into the end one day on TV & I was laughing hysterically.

I also like STUART SAVES HIS FAMILY.
