Citizen Smith will not be returning to our screens, despite actor Robert Lindsay hyping up a possible comeback for Wolfie.
Lindsay told The Independent that the rise of Jeremy Corbyn to hot favourite to lead the Labour Party had inspired talk of a reboot.
However, the family of the show's creator John Sullivan have rejected any plans to bring back the hit BBC sitcom.
"These stories are news to us - and we own the rights to the series," said Jim Sullivan of Shazam Productions.
"It's not the first time that people have suggested bringing the series back but that is not something we would want to do.
"Every episode of Citizen Smith was written by Dad - all the lines, ideas and plots were his.
"As we have said about Only Fools and Horses, the show only ever had one writer and it is going to stay that way.
