Return for laddish sitcom

Men Behaving Badly is to return to TV after more than four years.

Martin Clunes, Neil Morrissey, Caroline Quentin and Leslie Ash will reunite for the BBC1 specials next year.

And the shows will once again be written by Simon Nye.

A BBC spokesman said: "It's all still at an early stage but everyone has agreed in principle. But we don't know what the future holds for the characters at this stage."

Producer Beryl Vertue told Ananova: "When we left the final series of Men Behaving Badly, Dorothy and Gary had just had their baby. I thought viewers would really enjoy catching up with the characters and seeing what they were up to.

"So I rang the writer Simon Nye who was very keen on the idea and said he would love to write some scripts. I then called each of the actors one by one, and they were thrilled."
