BBC One has announced details of a new Comedy Playhouse season.
Three new half-hour one-off specials will be broadcast on the channel later this year, featuring the likes of Hugh Dennis, My Mad Fat Diary star Sharon Rooney and Mark Heap.
Steptoe and Son, Till Death Us Do Part, Are You Being Served? and Last of the Summer Wine are among classic BBC sitcoms which were born out of former BBC Comedy Playhouse seasons.
Comedy commissioning controller Shane Allen said: "BBC One delivers enormous audiences for comedy and this season revival reflects our commitment in mainstream to do new and daring projects.
"We want BBC One to fly the flag of popular British comedy and want this dedicated space to promote tomorrow's classic comedy today."
Dennis and Neil Morrissey will star in Over To Bill, a sitcom from Red Dwarf writer Doug Naylor.
