Patrolman Pete

Patrolman Pete

Patrolman Pete is the brainchild of the UK Automobile Association’s publishing department. Designed to compete with the likes of Bob the Builder, Postman Pat and Underground Ernie, a suite of books for 3-6 year-olds was published featuring the character, his faithful toolbox “Trevor” and his vehicle “Stan.”

The AA even recorded a song, released on 12 December 2005 to compete for the Christmas number one, titled “Ready to roll”; however, it failed to reach the top one hundred.

Like Underground Ernie, Patrolman Pete is an all-digital creation, streamlined, stylized and devoid of the detail that is present using traditional stop-motion animation. Some of the books attempt to teach children various aspects of the Highway Code, whilst other volumes are clearly reminiscent of the shows that undeniably inspired it.
