Postman Pat writers have revealed that they are planning major changes for the next series.

The kids' TV legend will leave Greendale village and move to a big town in Postman Pat: Special Delivery Service, which starts on BBC Two next year. Producers have said that Pat will be involved in "highly-charged storylines" and may even ditch his famous red van.

A spokesperson for makers Entertainment Rights told The Sun: "We are taking the much-loved characters into a dynamic new environment."
