A Song Similarity between Bertha and Postman Pat

There are a few songs on Bertha that sound a bit like "Leave It With Me" - Ted Glen's song from Postman Pat.

  • 'Isn't It Nice' by Stefanie de Sykes which only features on the Bertha: Songs and Music from the TV series LP. with some similar upbeats to the "Leave It with Me" song that Ted Glen sang on Postman Pat.
  • 'The Jolly Mrs Tupp and her Tea Trolley (Mrs Tupp's Tea Break song)' by Stefanie de Sykes on the Bertha: Songs and Music from the TV series LP and in the Tea Nurse TV episode of Bertha sounded a little bit like the "Leave It with Me" song that Ted Glen sang on Postman Pat with similar upbeats and a la-la at the end of the song.
  • 'Dreaming (Roy the Apprentice's Song)' by Guy Fletcher on the Bertha: Songs and Music from the TV series LP and in the Big Order TV episode of Bertha which almost sounds a lot like the "Leave It with Me" song that Ted Glen sang on Postman Pat with the same exact upbeat tune.

Bertha Cassette Tape

I note from the merchandise section of the article that the cassette tape has 'never surfaced', despite the author(s) of the article having knowledge of its existence. I own a copy of the said cassette, which as far as I can see is a straight cassette copy of the LP, same tracklisting, and I assume same cover art, albeit kept square in the middle of the cassette front cover with a generic BBC cover layout for the rest of the cover, as was the BBC's (and indeed many other label's) practice for converting LP covers to cassette covers at the time. Let me know if there is anything else you would like to know about the cassette. MrDannyDoodah (talk) 16:46, 23 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
