Paddy McGuinness teased the possibility of new episodes of Max and Paddy's Road To Nowhere after 20 years.
The Top Gear star starred and wrote in the sitcom alongside Peter Kay, with episodes airing between November and December 2004.
This morning Paddy McGuinness joined Capital Breakfast with Roman Kemp this week and discussed the idea of a reunion.
Radio host Sian Welby asked the star whether the duo will get together again.
"We do talk about it and what have you, but, I don't, I can't, I can't see it at the minute, but we never say never, but it's good to talk," he said.

"Like Max and Paddy for instance, we wrote a couple of Christmas specials, and we still got them.
Paddy said they have a few Christmas specials written"And we never got around to doing one for whatever the reason was back in the day. But we've actually got them!"
Paddy recently explained why he won't be going to see his pal Peter during his comeback tour.
Last year, Peter delighted fans when he revealed he was returning to the stage after a 12-year break.
Speaking to BBC Radio 2 presenter Zoe Ball, Paddy explained that he wondered why Peter would put himself through it.
He wrote and starred in the show with Peter Kay (Channel 4)"The mad thing about this show is, he rings me up, he says, ‘I’m going on tour’. So my first thing is, ‘why? Why do that? Why put yourself…’ and he’s like, ‘I want to do it’, this, that and the other," he said.
"Great, fair enough, each to their own, and it is very seducing when you’re on stage and people are laughing. So anyhow, he’s put this massive tour on, I come round for a cup of tea.
"So I’m round at his house, kids are out, wife’s out, it’s just me and him and a cup of tea. So he says, ‘get the laptop, I’ll talk you through stuff’.”
Paddy and Peter have been friends for decades (mcguinness.paddy/Instagram)Peter went on to give Paddy a preview of the show in his "slippers and jogging pants from George at Asda, T-shirt with bean juice down the front."
He continued: "I’m sat where you are to me, he’s done the full routine. I get most people saying, 'what an experience' - not for me.

"I’m thinking, my tea is going stone cold here. And then the ending’s amazing, it’s really extravagant, imagine that in his front room, how that played out.
“So I’m like, I’ve seen it in HD, 4K, I don’t need to do that again - so that’s it.”
