Blackadder may return to screens in the near future, but this time it could be cinema screens.

Stephen Fry revealed that writer Ben Elton is considering a feature length version of the comedy, set in the final days of the Russian Tsars.

Fry said: "Ben wanted to do a Blackadder movie set in the Russian Revolution, with a Russian branch of the family. He had some brilliant ideas - maybe that'll happen one day."

Rumours have been around for many months that there could also be a fifth series of the TV show, with star Rowan Atkinson said to be the keenest cast member on a revival.
