David Jason is to reprise his role as Granville in BBC One sitcom Still Open All Hours, with filming on the sixth series set to begin in 2019.
The 78-year-old said he was delighted to return to the "surreal and silly world" of the shopkeeper and his quirky customers.
"I am delighted that we will start filming again next year as I know we will all have fun recording each episode and that the viewers get the chance to enjoy the fun on their screens," the Only Fools and Horses legend added.
Season five comes to an end with the Christmas Special on BBC One on Sunday, December 23 at 6:50pm.
Teeing up season six for fans, the BBC said: "There is in-tents excitement in the new series for Eric (Johnny Vegas) and Cyril (Kulvinder Ghir) when they get a little too close to nature trying to impress their wives on a camping trip.
"Gastric (Tim Healy) may be ready to die for love of Madge (Brigit Forsythe) but is he ready to diet?
"Mr Newbold (Geoffrey Whitehead)'s love life begins a new chapter after meeting Mrs Rossi (Sue Holderness) in the library, but will Mrs Featherstone (Stephanie Cole) throw the book at him if she ever finds out?
"Madge (Maggie Ollerenshaw) finally stands up for herself, but will anybody notice? And Kath (Sally Lindsay) stages a jumble sale starring Eric's favourite clothes.
"Meanwhile Leroy (James Baxter) is still longing for Beth (Katie Redford) almost as much as he's longing for a lie-in."
If that wasn't enough for Still Open All Hours' regulars, the BBC has also promised "the driving lesson of doom, a dog whispering sweet nothings, a bicycle ride full of surprises, all sorts of interesting new uses for a mangle, and the snapping drawer of that famous till".
