Stars of British comedy series Blackadder are in discussions to bring the show back after 26 years.
Sir Tony Robinson, who played Baldrick, has spoken with the rest of the cast about a new series, reports British newspaper The Sun.
The most high profile stars include Rowan Atkinson, Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry.
Sir Tony The Sun the cast were in favour of reviving the show but said the producers might not be able to afford Laurie, now a megastar in the US.
"I do think a new series of Blackadder is on the cards. I have spoken to virtually all the cast about this now," Robinson said.
"The only problem is Hugh's fee. He's a huge star now or so he'd like to think."
Laurie is believed to have been paid up to NZ$550,000 per episode for House, which ran from 2004 to 2012.
Blackadder starred Atkinson in the title role, before he went on to star in Mr Bean.
Its historical settings spanned Medieval England to the First World War. It finished in 1989, though a special episode, Blackadder Back And Forth, was made for London's Millennium Dome in 1999.
Sir Tony, who went on to host Channel 4's Time Team for 20 years, told The Sun: "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."
