It's clear that fans still had an appetite for the program after it returned with the original line-up for a run of specials over the past few years. 

The return proved to be a huge ratings success for the ABC with ratings over 700,000 for the first of the special episodes, seeing it beat the wildly popular Hamish & Andy's Perfect Holiday.

Back in April, Hills told The Green Room With Neil Griffiths podcast that there was talk "quite recently" about shooting a new ten-episode season.

"I don't think we'd ever do 40 again. I think that just would take up too much time," Hills told host Neil Griffiths.

"There was talk of doing a series of ten at some point this year, but then I had to juggle that around The Last Leg and the Paralympics. And now, the Paralympics have been cancelled as well, or postponed, so there's definitely a possibility [of more Spicks & Specks episodes]," Hills said.

"It also, again, comes down to whether or not you can still have people on a panel and people in the audience. If we ever go back to those days... [team captains Alan Brough and Myf Warhurst] and I all want it to happen.

"It's just a matter of logistically pulling it together. But yeah, I think there could be some more."

The series originally ran from 2005 to 2011 and was then relaunched in 2014 with Josh Earl as host, joined by Ella Hooper and Adam Richard as team captains.
