I have been browsing the BBC Radio 4 Extra schedules and came across 5 stories by Julia Darling called Posties. The omnibus edition of all 5 stories can still be listened to for almost a month at http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0788hrj. I am currently listening to it now. First story was quite good - a long lost letter finally delivered.

Update - rather good collection of postal stories. Well worth a listen if you have time.
I've been listening to those too.
