Charlie Higson reckons that The Fast Show will return in 2014.
The classic sketch series marks its 20th anniversary next year, and co-creator Higson hopes that BBC Two may bring it back for a one-off special.
"It's also the 50th anniversary of BBC Two, so they're going to be doing a lot of stuff looking at the history of the channel and comedy," Higson told the British Comedy Guide website.
"We will be doing something around The Fast Show."
He added: "I doubt I will ever do anything else in comedy that would have quite the impact that The Fast Show has. You only really get one chance of that in your lifetime."
Paul Whitehouse, Mark Williams, Simon Day, Caroline Aherne, Arabella Weir and John Thomson also starred in the original series. It ran from 1994 to 1997 and there was a special in 2000, before it returned for an online run in 2011.
Last year, Thomson and Day expressed their hope that the programme would return following its brief online comeback.
Thomson told Digital Spy: "It was great, it was a joy. I forgot I got paid for it. It was like stepping into a comfortable pair of slippers again.
"It was a little bit of history coming back again, so it was very exciting. And we hope that the show gets picked up."
