David Mitchell is already planning to bring 'Peep Show' back if the series faces the axe.
The funnyman has admitted there's "certainly a possibility" the sitcom's upcoming ninth series could be its last but he is hoping the Channel 4 show will make a comeback at some point.
Speaking of the characters' futures, he told Digital Spy: "They're getting older, you know, and they're a bit old to be sharing a flat together.
"It's always been heightened reality, but it's always been a credible reality on 'Peep Show' and I think if it got to a stage where people were saying, 'I don't understand why these people are cohabiting,' then it would've jumped the shark.
"So I think we've got to contemplate the possibility of it winding down. But who knows, 20 years later, they might come back together in old age."
The 39-year-old star also suggested the next series of 'Peep show' might not air for two years.
He explained: "There's another one commissioned but Sam [Bain] and Jesse [Armstrong] - the writers - are really busy at the moment, so I don't think they'll have a chance to write it until next year.
"I can't imagine us shooting it any time before the second half of next year. [It could air in] maybe late 2014, maybe early 2015, that's my sort of guess at the moment.
"Hopefully, because the show's been running long enough, it's had enough momentum that people won't mind a bit of a gap. It'll create appetite for a new series."
David's comments come after Channel 4's Head of Comedy Phil Clarke recently confirmed the producers are in talks to "round off" the show.
