All of the surviving members of comedy group Monty Python are to reform for a stage show, one of the Pythons, Terry Jones, has confirmed.
"We're getting together and putting on a show - it's real," Jones told the BBC.
"I'm quite excited about it. I hope it makes us a lot of money. I hope to be able to pay off my mortgage!"
The reunion is expected to be announced officially at a press conference being held in London on Thursday.
'Can't wait'John Cleese, Eric Idle, Terry Gilliam, Michael Palin and Jones are all due to appear at the event.
Eric Idle also tweeted: "Only three days to go till the Python press conference. Make sure Python fans are alerted to the big forthcoming news event."
He added: "Python meeting this morning. Can't wait. Press Conference Thursday will apparently be live on Sky News. I'll get you the online URL."
The last time the five remaining members of the iconic comedy group appeared together was in 1998 at the Aspen Comedy Festival.
The sixth member of the comedy troupe, Graham Chapman, died in 1989.
High Court caseThe press conference will take place at the theatre where Monty Python Spamalot is running - The Palace Theatre in London's West End.
The Pythons' hugely successful, zany BBC TV series, Monty Python's Flying Circus, effectively threw away the rulebook of traditional sketch writing, dispensing with punchlines and allowing sketches to blend into each other or simply stop abruptly.
Gilliam's unique animation style became a key element of the show, segueing seamlessly between any two completely unrelated ideas.
Earlier this year, a film producer won a High Court case against the surviving members of Monty Python over royalty rights to the hit stage show.
Mork Forstater, who produced the 1975 film Monty Python and The Holy Grail, claimed he was underpaid royalties since the musical's launch in 2005.
He estimated he was entitled to more than £200,000.
