To play one of the nation’s best loved characters from a children’s TV show is no easy task – and Stephen Mangan discusses the pressure that comes with taking on the role of Postman Pat, ahead of the character’s debut on the big screen.
Mangan also tells us of his delight in working on something his young sons can watch and enjoy, while explaining the difficulties in bringing Pat to the silver screen to dramatic effect, given the inherent, good nature of the man. He also explains what attracted him to take on this role, and compares his singing voice to that of Ronan Keating’s, who provides the vocals for Pat’s fledging musical career in the movie.
Postman Pat: The Movie is released on May 23rd, and you can read our review here.
