If there's one EastEnders character we'd love to know more about, it's the brilliant Patrick Trueman (played by Rudolph Walker).

And so would showrunner, Chris Clenshaw, who explained to RadioTimes.com and other press at a recent event that he would love it, too.

While speaking about the upcoming EastEnders flashback centred around the Mitchells, the Executive Producer was asked if he would consider more journeys into the past.

Clenshaw said: "I'm really excited for everyone to see this. We're proud of it, we're very excited by it. I think there's this world with such rich characters I think it's definitely possible to make something more of it, I really do.

"But then, at the same time, I'd also love to be transported back to the 1950s Trinidad to see young Patrick Trueman!"

In the coming weeks, EastEnders viewers will be transported back to 1979 to delve into the lives of the Mitchell family.

Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) will be plunged into his memories to find out core truths about himself and his family that will hopefully help in his fight against the evil DCI Keeble.

There'll also be a fond return of Peggy Mitchell to screens, this time played by Jaime Winstone.
