You may have heard recently that Friends could be back on our screens. The rumour - and as yet, it is just a rumour - is that there will be four one-hour specials starring all the original cast.

This rumour has gained ground today in that Kathleen Turner, who plays Chandler's (Mathew Perry) transvestite father, has said "It's possible I could reprise my role. I haven't got the dates yet, or anything, but I think so, I hope so. They said it might be happening."

Over to the official Warner Bros spokeswoman:

"There is absolutely no truth in it - it's all rumour."

Personally, I think this is an attempt to see how much residual interest lies in the comedy series - and with over eight million people tuning in to the final episode in the UK alone there should be a fair amount - to see if it's worth paying the six stars another whack of money to do it. Given that the six of them were on at least $1m an episode by the time it all finished it'd cost a lot, but probably it'd be worth it.

Time will tell.
