Comedy veterans Monty Python are set to reunite for their first major project in 30 years.
Surviving members John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones and Michael Palin are expected to announce their plans at a news conference in London on Thursday.
The announcement follows months of secret talks about getting back together, according to reports.
A spokesman for the Pythons would not reveal whether the group planned to perform live, in a TV special or in a film.
But Terry Jones appears to have let the cat out of the bag by revealing what it is the Pythons are going to do.
"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!"
Idle added to the rumours on Monday when he tweeted: "Only three days to go till the Python press conference.
"Make sure Python fans are alerted to the big forthcoming news event."
His Tuesday tweet 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."
Monty Python's Flying Circus was made for TV between 1969 and 1974, and the team's work famously includes the Dead Parrot and the Ministry of Silly Walks sketches.
The Pythons went on to make films including Monty Python And The Holy Grail and Monty Python's Life of Brian.
Their final film, Monty Python's The Meaning Of Life, released in 1983, was the last time the six Pythons worked together on a full-time project.
