Robert Lindsay has stated that a return to My Family from him will never happen.

The actor played Ben Harper in the BBC family sitcom between 2000 and 2011, but he has ruled out a revival for the comedy, which also starred Zoe Wanamaker as his wife Susan.

He told Digital Spy: "Oh no! No, no, no, no. That's gone now.

"The kids are 45! When the kids kinda went like that you went, 'Oh...' "

"I don't like returning to things anyway."

The 64-year-old star went on to suggest he continued starring in the series - which screened 11 series and numerous Christmas specials - for longer than he had originally intended.

He said: "I did 'My Family' for a really long time and for reasons that I will not go into here ... one of which was Zoe 'cos I loved her so much.

"It was just a very convenient job - it was Pinewood Studios, which was just a hop, skip and jump from where I lived."

Robert starred in all but three of the 120 episodes of 'My Family', while Zoe appeared in 115 episodes.

The series also starred Gabriel Thompson, Daniela Denby-Ashe and Kris Marshall as the Harpers' children.
