Stephen Mangan has been speaking out about the new Postman Pat movie in which he stars along with David Tennant and Rupert Grint. Stephen provides the speaking voice for the iconic kids TV character Pat in the new film which follows the mild-mannered posties foray into the world of TV talent shows. It turns out that the effects of fame are not all good on the best liked man in Greendale. What can I say about Postman Pat? One of the most iconic cartoon characters ever, and also one of the nicest,” Stephen said. Being nice for an hour and a half is not that interesting, so we take Pat to the dark side. He gets seduced by the lure of fame and fortune. He even falls out with Jess. Thats all Im saying, dont tell the kids! Pat, it turns out, has an amazing singing voice, and the temptations of superstardom beckon. Boyzone star Ronan Keating provides the singing parts of the Pat role. I did offer to sing and they pretended they didnt hear me ask the question. I think I had a whole musical career, possibly, I could have embarked on, but cruelly cut short by the producers, Stephen joked. He also revealed a little about the recording process: I did all my lines in one go on my own in a booth. Lots of one side of an argument. What do you mean? How can you say that? Pardon? Im looking forward to how everyone else did it. Its very unique as an acting experience. Normally the whole point is like a bit of a tennis match, youre doing something together.You rely on the director to have it all in their head and put the thousand-piece jigsaw together and make it not sound like lots of people who never met each other. Stephen continued: Weve got David Tennant, Rupert Grint, Jim Broadbent, Its a fantastic cast. Im excited, I havent seen it!
