She continued: "I think it’s the things like this kinda slowly cook away in your brain even if you’re not consciously aware of it. So it’s like three years but I think they never go away. We went out for dinner one night me and Sarah [Lancashire] and Nicola [Walker] in January a year back… And it was just hilarious. I was just sitting there listening to them [and wanted to] write for them again."

What will happen in Last Tango in Halifax season six?
Since there's no official word on the future of the show, it's difficult to say what the future holds for Celia, Alan, Gillian and Caroline, but season five saw Celia and Alan start to clash over helping Gillian out with her farm, while Caroline had a turbulent time after considering dating again following the loss of Kate - before her ex-husband's girlfriend Judith tells her she has feelings for her. So will season six see Caroline get lucky in love, while Alan and Celia deal with their marriage problems? We'll have to wait and see!
