Craig Cash has confirmed that there will be another Royle Family special later this year.
In what will come as great news to the thousands of fans of this eccentric family, Cash told Digital Spy that the comedy drama will be back for another festive one-off.
"We're going to do another episode at Christmas. We think that the characters still have lots of mileage. They are very popular. And my wife wants a new kitchen," he said.
When asked whether they would ever consider writing another full series, he added: "It takes it out of you doing six weeks. And then there's the time it takes to write and edit. I think the public like it as a one-off at Christmas and it seems to work.
"But who knows, we may do a series one time... again."
Cash and fellow Royle Family star Ralf Little (Anthony Royle) recently reunited for new Sky1 comedy series The Cafe, which will air in the autumn.
