Katherine Parkinson doesn't want to ruin 'The IT Crowd's' legacy.
The 37-year-old actress - who played Jen Barber in the cult classic sitcom - admits she is reluctant to reprise her role in the comedy, which ended last year, as the show concluded on such a high note.
Quizzed if she'd do another series, Katherine said: "We've tried before but we've all been a bit unavailable - Richard Ayoade, me, Chris O'Dowd and also [writer] Graham Linehan.
"So, never say never, and we're all friends, but at the moment it's unlikely. It was a good run and we wouldn't want to ruin that."
Katherine has swapped her BAFTA Award-winning comedy role for more serious fare as she plays Maggie Gyllenhaal's cold sister-in-law in BBC Two drama 'The Honourable Woman' and she is enjoying the change of pace.
She told Radio Times magazine: "That's certainly a departure for me. On TV we either have sitcoms or dramas. But I think the best dramas do have an element of wit. 'Breaking Bad' is the perfect example. It's a drama and it's tragic but it's hilarious at times."

Will Ferrell and Adam McKay are producing 'Manimal'.
According to Deadline, Sony Picture Animation has called in the pair's company, Gary Sanchez Productions, as well as Jimmy Miller's Mosaic, to plan the reboot of the cult 1980s TV show which follows a man who fights crimes by morphing into various animals.
Miller, Ferrell, and McKay will also team up with the original series co-creator Glen A. Larson, while Jay Martel and Ian Roberts are believed to be writing the script.
Although the 1983 series - which starred Simon MacCorkindale as Dr. Jonathan Chase - was cancelled after just eight episodes, Miller, McKay and Ferrell have jumped at the chance to produce the live-action-animation.
McKay explained: "I think it's right down our alley, it's what we do.
"It's tongue-in-cheek and has an action component, but overall it's a comedy.
"I know the movie will be funny and entertaining, but will it be the first film to win a Pulitzer? We'll just have to see."
The trio are currently looking for a director to helm the project.
The 'Anchorman' star and his comedy co-writer, Adam, are also planning a 'Flintstones' remake.
The duo have enlisted the help of 'The Other Guys' scribe Chris Henchy to bring the pre-historic gang, comprised of Fred Flintstone, Barney Rubble and their respective wives Wilma and Betty, to life in a new animated big screen version of the classic cartoon.

Beyonce and Jay Z want to bring their 'On The Run' tour to the UK.
The superstar and her rapper husband - who kicked off their tour at the Sun Life Stadium in Miami Gardens last month - are said to be planning to add a final UK date to their schedule which is currently set to end with a two-night stint at the Stade de France in Paris, this September.
It is believed the performance will take place in London in Autumn with tickets for the surprise show becoming available just weeks before the event.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Jay Z and Beyonce will play a stadium in Britain, probably in London, before the autumn.
"It needs to be a stadium because of the scale of the production.
"It could be the case that there will be just weeks between tickets going on sale and the event."
News of the additional tour date follows on from weeks of speculation that the couple's marriage is in crisis.
Beyonce, 32 and Jay Z, 44 - who have a two-year-old daughter, Blue Ivy, together - were previously said to be only seeing one another on stage by travelling separately and staying in different hotel rooms.
A source said: "They might be sharing a stage, but while on tour they'll live practically separate lives.
"Tensions between them are worse than ever, meaning they will be travelling between venues independently, staying in different hotel suites and even having separate entourages.
"They'll also have individual dressing rooms, so the only times they'll be together will be while they're performing."

Mitch Winehouse still speaks to his late daughter, Amy.
The showbiz patriarch - who lost the 'Valerie' singer to accidental alcohol poisoning in July 2011 - has admitted he can still sense that his daughter is close by and hears her words of encouragement whenever he takes to the stage.
He told The Sun newspaper: "She's standing next to me, every time I go out on that stage.
"She's there all right, I feel her, sense her.
"She's in here now saying, 'Just get on with it, Dad'. I'm always speaking to her, all day, every day."
Mitch also explained that Amy - who died aged just 27 at her North London home- was "angry" over her passing at first but has now become more settled in the after-life.
He said: "Her passing was a mistake and at first she was very angry and upset -- I could feel that -- but now she's more settled."
Although Mitch still admits life is still difficult without the 'Back To Black' hitmaker, he believes establishing his charity, the Amy Winehouse Foundation - which trains recovering addicts to go into schools and speak of their experiences - has made him a better man.
He said: "Before she passed I wasn't very industrious but now I'm a different person. It changed my life. After Amy died, I wanted to do something that mattered, which is how the Amy Winehouse Foundation came about. Who would have thought that three years on we would have achieved so much?
"I know Amy is very proud. She would not have wanted us to wallow in grief."

Daniel Radcliffe is getting 'better' at sex.
The 'Harry Potter' star admitted he has improved in the bedroom since losing his virginity and prefers to have sex when he is sober.
He told The Daily Star newspaper: "I'm one of the few people who seem to have had a really good first time.
"It was with somebody I'd gotten to know well. I'm happy to say I've had a lot better sex since then.
"But it wasn't as horrendously embarrassing as a lot of other people's were, like my friend who got drunk and did it with a stranger under a bridge.
"For some people sex might be better drunk. But for me and the person I'm doing it with it's much better sober."
The 27-year-old actor quit drinking four years ago after realising his alcohol addition had got out of control and decided to clean up his act for the sake of his career.
However, it seems Daniel is still struggling to conquer his cravings after it was reported he checked into a rehabilitation facility earlier this month to treat his dependence on cigarettes.
A source said: "Daniel knows he has an addictive personality, and he's been open in the past about his drinking demons.
"It will be a kind of residential treatment programme, involving counselling, both individual and group stress management and herbal treatments to help withdrawal symptoms."

5 Seconds of Summer plan to write with One Direction.
The 'She Looks So Perfect' hitmakers are currently touring with the British band for the second time, and though they get on well, they won't be recording a duet with their pals.
Asked if they would team up with One Direction, Calum Hood said: "We are two completely different bands."
Luke Hemmings added: "We might write with them at some point. If we were going to do a song it'd be with someone that's cool and up-and-coming."
The group's career has escalated since they first toured with the 'Little Things' singers last year and they admit being on the road this time around has been a different experience.
Ashton Irwin said on 'Live from MTV': "I think it's been different in a few ways, we got to go to Europe for the first time and without them [One Direction], we would have never gotten to meet some of the fans, so that was incredible.
"There's a few more people singing along to our songs, which is nice. That's just a beautiful thing."
Another thing that has changed this tour is there is less "nudity", after 1D star Harry Styles pranked the support act by invading their dressing room to throw fruit at them while nude last year.
Ashton said: "No, naked Harry Styles, which is a bit disappointing. It's a decrease of nudity on the tour this year."

Emma Stone says Woody Allen "goes to great lengths" to keep details of his scripts a secret.
'The Amazing Spider-Man 2' actress stars alongside Colin Firth in Allen's upcoming romantic comedy 'Magic in the Moonlight' and they've revealed they were only given a short amount of time to read their scripts before they had to hand them back.
Emma told The Daily Beast: "Some cast members never get to look at the script. Some cast only ever sees their part. He's incredibly protective of the plot. I think he goes to great lengths to keep it under wraps.
"I had a very short meeting with him and his casting directors, and about a month later I got to go to his office to read the script, and then give it back."
Stone stars as a young woman who claims she can not only tell the future but can also communicate with the dead in the film, while Firth plays Stanley, a renowned illusionist under the stage name Wei Ling Soo, who's hired by the consigliere of a wealthy family to expose Stone's character.
Firth admits he had the same experience with Allen's script for the movie, saying: "You get to read it in a controlled experiment while you're closely watched. Funnily enough, the script was driven to me in a remote part of Italy while someone waited while I read it, and then handed it back."
However, Stone, 25, claims its not the first time she's experienced secretiveness over film scripts.
She added: "It sounds weird, but I've read 'Spider-Man' the same way. Now, all these scripts need to be controlled, otherwise they leak."

Katie Price regrets having tattoos of her exes' names.
The glamour model is haunted by the body art she got while married to ex-husband Peter Andre and in a relationship with ex-fiancé Leandro Penna, but Katie admits she hasn't "really learnt her lesson" when it comes to permanent ink.
Chatting to co-presenter Mark Dolan on her FUBAR radio show yesterday (22.07.14), Katie - who is currently married to Kieran Hayler - shared: "The thing is, a lot of us do it - you get names of your other halves on you and then you split up and then you're stuck with a name. This has happened to me twice with the Pete one and now I've got Leo on my ankle. So what do you do?
"Do you have it lasered off? But then you're left with the scar. Or do you try and create something to go over it? Surely you have to have something a bit bigger to cover it. So I don't know what to do ... I've got Leo and then the date [we met] - that's sad. It bloody hurts - all that detail."
However, Katie's regrets don't appear to have put the businesswoman off any further trips to the tattoo parlour.
She told listeners: "I do want a new tattoo but I've got to finish my thigh one yet. They are very addictive."
The 36-year-old mother-of-five already has several tattoos, including a crown on her wrist and a bow around her ankle, but revealed she once longed for a butterfly inked in between her legs.
She explained: "You know what I did want to do but I thought I couldn't bear the pain - you know when you open your legs, I wanted a butterfly tattooed there. But I don't think I could sit with my legs open and it would bloody hurt. I've got a pink heart there - just above - where they normally have their Brazilian strip."

Cheryl Cole's mother approves of her new husband.
The 'Crazy Stupid Love' singer tied the knot with Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini in a secret ceremony earlier this month after less than three months of dating, but the whirlwind romance has the approval of her mum Joan Callaghan - who is said to have disliked her daughter's first husband Ashley Cole and been "wary" of her last boyfriend, Tre Holloway - as she hit it off instantly with the restaurateur.
A source told LOOK magazine: "Joan adores him. He makes such an effort and talks endlessly with her.
"He's a great conversationalist and is brimming with confidence, which none of Cheryl's other boyfriends ever had."
Meanwhile, Cheryl - who divorced Ashley in 2010 amid reports of his infidelity - is said to have been "swept off her feet" by her new spouse.
The source added: "To say Cheryl's been swept off her feet would be an understatement.
"From day one, JB has made her feel like there's no one else in the world. He's the perfect gentleman, with impeccable manners and such an air of self-assurance. She's on cloud nine and happier than she's been in years.
"She was feeling like nothing would ever be good in her life again and JB has rebuilt her confidence."

Ian Somerhalder and Nikki Reed are reportedly "smitten with each other."
The 'Twilight' beauty and 'The Vampire Diaries' actor recently struck up a relationship after being friends for many years, but they are determined to take their romance slowly and enjoy each other's company.
A source told E! News: "[Nikki and Ian are] smitten with each other and love spending time together."
The pair first sparked rumours they were dating after they were spotted getting cosy at a farmer's market in Los Angeles last weekend, with Ian, 35, holding a protective arm around Nikki and nuzzling her neck.
The duo - who have been friends for a long time - used to go on double dates when they were with their previous partners, and Nikki is said to still be good friends with Ian's ex-girlfriend, Nina Dobrev.
Nina has recently said she supports Ian in all that he does and they remain close friends.
Meanwhile, Nikki, 26, was previously married to musician Paul McDonald, but they separated in March and filed for divorce in May.
At the time of their split, the former couple were working on recording an album together, 'I'm Not Falling', and
the brunette beauty had previously claimed music was the secret to their happy marriage.

Whitney Houston's mother is "exhausted" by the misinformation surrounding her late daughter.
Cissy Houston is furious that Lifetime are creating a biopic depicting the legendary singer's rocky relationship with ex-husband Bobby Brown and thinks everyone should let her daughter rest in peace.
Speaking to 'Entertainment Tonight', she said: "Lifetime has chosen to go ahead with the movie about Whitney in spite of my family's objections.
"No one connected with this movie knew Whitney or anything about her relationship with Bobby.
"In the two years since Whitney's death, many people have stepped forward to speak about their close relationship with her. I find it difficult to believe people who knew and supposedly loved her would participate in a movie about her done by folks who didn't know her.
"We are exhausted by the continuing misinformation and comments offered by people who did not know her. Please please let her rest."
The Lifetime movie is set for release in 2015 and will see Oscar-nominated actress Angela Basset - who starred opposite Whitney in the 1995 picture 'Waiting to Exhale' - make her directorial debut.
However, the singer's loved ones are reportedly planning their own big screen movie in the style of Michael Jackson's 'This Is It', which they feel would be a more fitting tribute to the musical icon, who accidentally drowned in February 2012 in her Beverly Hilton hotel suite, with heart disease and cocaine use listed as contributing factors.

Frankie Sandford was "full of emotion" on her wedding day.
The Saturdays singer married her soccer star beau Wayne Bridge at the weekend at Woburn Abbey in Bedfordshire, east England, and she admits her big day was "amazing" surrounded by the people she loves.
Taking to her Twitter account, she tweeted: "Thank you so much for all your messages. Wayne and I had the most amazing weekend surrounded by everyone we love. Can't believe it's over!
"Never been so full of emotion. what roller coaster! So happy. I can't wait to chill out with my husband. Bring on the honeymoon!"
The ceremony was made even more special when boyband JLS - whose member Marvin Humes is married to Frankie's band mate Rochelle - reunited for a one-off performance to entertain guests.
Meanwhile, it was previously reported the loved-up couple - who have nine-month-old son Parker together - were originally planning their extravagant summer ceremony with the help of Bentley's Entertainments, the firm that organised Victoria and David Beckham's lavish bash in 1999.
However, rather than going for a huge, glitzy bash, the pair had asked guests to protect their privacy by not putting any wedding photos online.
