The Young Postmen

A surreal comedy about the escapades of a trio of Post Office workers.

In Swansden, it seems like the men and women of the Post Office must make their own fun. From following mystic runes on a fantasy journey and competing in a little light professional competitive cycling, to fighting the Tuareg in a fort in Africa after joining the French Foreign Legion and engaging the Jupiter aliens in an amateur musical, via climbing Mount Everest and attempting to record a Christmas Number One - Brian, Derek and Sue will just have to make sure all the boring stuff like sorting and handing out the post is actually done at some point...

A delightful bite of comedy with a star-studded comic cast in their early days, including Ben Miller, John Thomson, Felicity Montagu, Alistair McGowan, Jim Barclay and even Vinnie Jones.

First released: Thursday 17th August 2023
