In the most exciting Friends news since Rachel Green got off the plane, all six of the main cast members for a two-hour special next month honour director James Burrows.

It's been 11-years since the final episode of the sitcom aired - and NBC chief Robert Greenblatt has confessed he's hoping the stars' schedules will allow the reunion to happen.

He said: "I'm hoping all six will be in the same room at the same time. I'm not sure we can logistically pull it off."

Jennifer Aniston [Rachel], Courteney Cox [Monica Gellar], Lisa Kudrow [Phoebe Buffay], Matthew Perry [Chandler Bing], Matt LeBlanc [Joey Tribbiani] and Ross Schwimmer [Ross Gellar] have each spoken in the past about the possibility of a comeback.

Last year Courteney, 50, suggested David was the person stopping a Friends movie from happening.

She told Yahoo: "We're not doing it! It's just never going to happen."

Admitting the six actors haven't been in the same room since the finale, Courteney added: "We've gotten about 80 per cent there, but there's always one person who flakes at the end.

"I'm not going to name names, but it may not be Schwimmer."

Catch the NBC special on 21 February. Let's hope being together again will change their minds about the movie!
