UK Mall 1 - The Missing Postman [1997]

Clive Peacock is a quiet little man who has been a postman for thirty five years when new technology forces him into early retirement.
Unable to face the idea of a life of metal detecting or carving decoy ducks like some of his other retired aquaintances he finds himself stealing his last mail collection and cycling all over Britain to deliver it personally.
The missing postman becomes a matter of interest in the media and Clive finds himself chased everywhere by a posse of reporters, most of whom completely miss the point, thinking that Clive is making a protest for workers rights, wheras in reality he's just delivering the mail because that's what he likes doing.

Sounds pretty lame, but it isn't. It's brilliant. Right at the top of the tree. Combines the right mix of comedy, drama, melancholy and social commentary without excessive sentimentality and without preaching. Exquisite.
