Roland Rat teams up with the Big Breakfast

Roland Rat is returning to television.

He has been signed up by bosses of Channel 4's Big Breakfast in the hope that he'll do for their show what he did for TV-AM.

When Roland was introduced to the former ITV breakfast programme its flagging ratings suddenly increased.

David Claridge, the voice behind Roland, said: "I am going to be involved in the show but it is in the early stages at the moment".
