Popular BBC Two drama This Life is to return later this year in a one-off special called This Life - Ten Years On.
Hugely popular when it first aired on BBC Two in 1996, the show starred Jack Davenport, Andrew Lincoln and Daniela Nardini, and followed the turbulent lives of a group of twenty-something London housemates.
All three, along with the other original cast members, executive producer Tony Garnett and creator and principal writer Amy Jenkins, return for the one-off 90-minute special.
In the special episode, one of the group has become a commercial success after writing a book based on their friendship and a TV production company is keen to film the group's reunion.
Jenkins said: "It's ten years on and there have been big changes in the characters' lives. They're no longer in the waiting room of life - but out there on centre stage. The question is - do people really change?"
BBC Two will also repeat both of the original series prior to screening the new show.
Roly Keating, controller, BBC Two, said: "This Life brilliantly defined what it meant to be young in the Nineties and captured the imagination of a whole generation of viewers.
"It's fantastic that Tony, Amy and the original, world-class cast have agreed to reunite for what promises to be one of the drama events of the year."
