Robert Lindsay has confirmed that he is willing to return to My Family.

The actor, who announced that he did not wish to continue with the show twelve months ago, now thinks that it would be "madness" to rule out starring in another series.

"The BBC are desperate to do more and I can understand why," Lindsay told The Mirror. "Would I do more? It would be economic madness to definitely say no. I'd be foolish to rule it out."

Lindsay had previously worried that the show would suffer from a drop in quality if it was to carry on.

"I have terminated that contract - it's got to the point where the children are grown up and it loses its gloss," he said at the time.

Robert played dentist Ben Harper on the show, which aired for a fifth series in 2004.
