Ben Kingsley wants to return to British soap Coronation Street - where the actor first started his career.
Oscar-winning Kingsley - whose credits include Gandhi and Sexy Beast - played Ron Jenkins, a cheeky chap who chatted up Ken Barlow's then wife Valerie back in the 1960s.
And Ben admits he'd happily walk the street's famous cobbles once again.
"Oh I did enjoy my time on Coronation Street. I said I might go back, have a pint in the Rovers Return," the veteran star told British newspaper The Sun. "I have very fond memories. I think a long-running soap is a very interesting way of looking at the social history of a time and a place.
"And this took place in Salford, so it was very much my territory and my background. It was a marvelous show.
"We had huge cameras with great thick tapes, and we ran from one part of the studio to the other to keep the tapes rolling. Quite marvelous. Very exciting."
