BBC News has claimed that the creators of sitcom Goodnight Sweetheart are hoping it will return... as a stage musical, twenty years after the first episode was aired.
Writers Laurence Marks and Maurice Gran have said that while there are no plans to bring the show back to the small screen, they are "some way down the line of doing a stage musical". The production would follow in the footsteps of their other musicals 'Dreamboats and Petticoats' and 'Save The Last Dance For Me'.
Goodnight Sweetheart ran for six series on BBC One between 1993 and 1999. Marks and Gran's other TV shows include Birds of a Feather, Relative Strangers, The New Statesman and Shine on Harvey Moon.
The writing team have claimed that Goodnight Sweetheart could be seen on stage from as early as 2014 and would feature music from the 1940s and the 1980s. Speaking to BBC News, Laurence Marks said: "It would reflect the series. It would be a much more elaborate story and it would contain the same characters. I think there is life in Gary Sparrow yet."
