Tour de France
The surreal escapades of a trio of 'posties'. Stars Ben Miller, John Thomson and Felicity Montagu. From November 1992.
Everyone goes on and on about how boring professional cycling is compared to the 1980s.
So if Brian, Derek and Sue have to leave the Post Office to look after itself for a bit and do something about it, then it's really ungrateful to start complaining.
Anyway, sorting mail is much harder than it looks, so they probably need a break. And it'll be loads better than some of the rubbish on telly these days.
The surreal escapades of a trio of 'posties'.
