Blackadder could be making a return to screens after 26 years, according to Tony Robinson.

Robinson told The Sun that he thinks a reunion for the historical comedy "is on the cards".

"I do think a new series of Blackadder is on the cards," he said. "I have spoken to virtually all the cast about this now."

The TV presenter then joked that the only thing stopping the project from going ahead is the popularity of House star Hugh Laurie.

"The only problem is Hugh's fee. He's a huge star now - or so he'd like to think."

Robinson also admitted that audience expectations would be high if the popular show was to return.

He said: "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."

Blackadder aired for four series from 1983 to 1989, as well as several one-off special episodes.

The show featured the likes of Robinson, Laurie, Rowan Atkinson and Tim McInnerny.
