The Agnes Brown actor confirmed to The Sun that he is preparing a series of episodes for the Easter period.
He said: "I think we’re going to be doing another mini-series for April, but whenever the BBC broadcast them."
It was also revealed that filming for the upcoming Christmas special will begin in the coming weeks.
Remarking about the episode, he said: "It’s hard to believe this Christmas Day episode will be our 50th episode".
He added: "We do the same special in three weeks or four weeks time. I could tell you what they’re about if I had of f*****g written them but I’ve not written them [yet]."
After collecting the award, the comedian and his wife Jennifer reflected on the success of the show.
He said: "It’s been tremendous, to get this award is our sixth and I just feel really… but I don’t care.
"It’s voted for by the audience and viewers. This is the icing on the cake, it’s amazing.
"Cast and crew are family it’s been 38 years now all our production crew are family and all the cast is family."
Jeniffer added: "It’s actually humbling when you hear the response it’s one of the few shows that the entire family can watch together.
"We got a message from a man who said her family member was suffering from dementia and he said they sat down and it was the first time they heard a laugh."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
