A revival of the classic BBC 80s comedy Blackadder revival is said to be "on the cards" as long as producers can afford to pay Hugh Laurie's wages.
Actor Tony Robinson, who played Baldrick in the period sitcom, said that he has spoken to other members of the cast about a possible comeback, and said House star Laurie's fee is the only stumbling block for getting the series off the ground.
Speaking to the British newspaper The Sun, Robinson said: "I do think a new series of Blackadder is on the cards. I have spoken to virtually all the cast about this now.
"The only problem is Hugh's fee. He's a huge star now - or so he'd like to think."
The actor added that there was pressure to live up to the quality of the original series with the revival, explaining: "Expectations for a new series will be high because people not only remember the original, they remember who they were when it was on. It's a big danger."
Blackadder first debuted on the BBC in 1983 and ran until 1989 for four seasons, with Rowan Atkinson in the titular role. Each series was set in a different historical period, from Medieval England to the First World War, and it also starred Stephen Fry, Ben Elton and the late Rik Mayall.
