Classic children's TV show Postman Pat is to be turned into a movie - with a plot inspired by Susan Boyle.
The big screen version of the programme will see the postman entering a Britain's Got Talent-type TV show where he discovers he has an amazing singing voice.
He then becomes an overnight sensation, just like the Scottish singer, and is looked after by a TV mogul based on Simon Cowell, reports the Daily Mirror.
Pat will then be forced to make a difficult decision between becoming an international singing superstar or carrying on delivering post to the villagers.
There's no details yet on whether he will lose out in the final of the contest to a dance act and then go into rehab.
Andrew Kerr of Classic Media, who are producing the film, told the paper: "It is going to be an exciting time for Pat's fans."
The film, which will feature computer-generated imagery and 3D effects, is due out in 2011.
What a bizarre concept for a movie! Do you think Pat will be a hit on the big screen? Let us know what you think...
