Miranda Hart is said to be in talks to host a revival of The Generation Game for the BBC.
The sitcom actress and comedian is tipped to follow in the footsteps of previous presenters Sir Bruce Forsyth, Larry Grayson and Jim Davidson in the reboot of the classic family programme, which originally launched in 1971.
The show - which last aired in 2002 - saw four teams, each consisting of two family members, compete against each other in a series of challenges in a bid to win prizes.
The BBC has confirmed that the revival is on the cards but insisted that nothing has been confirmed.
A spokesperson said: "It's in the early ideas stage at the moment. Nothing is confirmed and no series [is] planned."
Call The Midwife actress Hart revealed her love of The Generation Game when she interviewed Forsyth for BBC One special When Miranda Met Bruce last year.

"Bruce is too modest to say this, so I am going to say it for him," she said. "During the 1970s, The Generation Game was getting over 20 million viewers every single week and my family was one of them.
"I loved it. It is one of the greatest game shows ever."
Back in 2011, X Factor contestant Johnny Robinson told Digital Spy that he would be the ideal candidate to host a revival of the Generation Game franchise.
Meanwhile, Hart has recently signed up to appear in Bridemaids director Paul Feig's upcoming spy comedy.
