The new Postman Pat, Stephen Mangan, chats to us about the film, about children's telly, and on a darker sequel...
Interview
The new Postman Pat (as heard in Postman Pat: The Movie, due in cinemas this Friday) has two voices. When he's singing, he magically switched to Ronan Keating. When he's not? He's Stephen Mangan. And the day after the film's premiere, we had a chat with the man himself...
You're Postman Pat.
I know! Can you believe it?
It's a surreal thing to have that claim. There are fewer Postman Pats in the world than there are James Bonds.
That's true, I hadn't thought of that. You make a very good point!
Ken Barrie was the original Postman Pat of course.
That's right.
A friend of mine met him outside a pub once, and in everyday conversation he sounded nothing like him. But in a second, he switched that famous voice on.

Tonight (Tuesday, April 22) sees that rarest of beasts get an outing on ITV4 - a British animated series aimed exclusively at adults.
Warren United - co-created by Men Behaving Badly's Simon Nye and featuring the voice of BAFTA winner Darren Boyd - is a new animated sitcom about family, football and the passion of being a fan.
"While Warren United focuses on a bloke who's crazy about football, it's really about passion," said co-executive producer Henry Normal. "Football's about human stories - we've tried to capture that."
The first of six Warren United episodes airs tonight at 9pm, but could the series be at the forefront of an animation revolution in the UK?
On April 1, a new tax break for the UK animation industry went into effect, with many predicting a boost for UK-based production - but will that be enough to reverse the long-floundering fortunes of adult animation in Great Britain?...
