The IT Crowd creator Graham Linehan has revealed that he is planning to revive the series.

The writer announced on Twitter that he is hoping to bring the Channel 4 sitcom back for a one-off special in mid-2013.

Last year, Linehan confirmed that there would not be a full fifth series of The IT Crowd, which aired between 2006 and 2010.

The comedy starred Chris O'Dowd, Richard Ayoade and Katherine Parkinson as three staff members of the IT department at the fictional Reynholm Industries.

O'Dowd - who played Roy - revealed in September that he was interested in reprising his role, claiming that the show's stars still "need closure".

"I'd love to do something more with those characters," he said. "I don't think we said goodbye to them properly."
