Comedy The Royle Family is to return to the BBC for a one-off special.
Co-creator and star Caroline Aherne is currently working on the script for the show, which is likely to feature the original members of the cast.
Aherne, who announced her retirement from television in 2001, is expected to reprise her role as Denise.
The comedy, largely set in the living room of the Manchester family, began on BBC Two in 1998 and was last seen on BBC One on Christmas Day 2000.
Aherne's writing partner Craig Cash, who plays Denise's husband Dave, is also involved on the development of the script.
The show has been commissioned by the BBC and is being made by ITV Productions at Granada studios in Manchester, where the previous three series and two specials were filmed.
The special is scheduled to air on BBC One later this year.
