Jennifer AnistonJennifer AnistonWe keep getting our hopes up about a Friends reunion... only to be disappointed.

But, Jennifer Aniston has provided us with a substantial pointer that the gang could be getting back together.

Jen, who played Rachel in the hit show, said she would like to do a Thanksgiving special during an interview with Richard and Judy.

She said: "I do at times miss it... The only thing I can think of doing is maybe, for fun, doing a Thanksgiving episode. Our Thanksgiving episodes were really fun."

And Courteney Cox, who played Monica, recently sang from a similar hymn sheet.

She told the New York Daily News: "I think their story is continuing, even if we're not watching. I think they see each other every Thanksgiving."

The Friends back in 1999Friends - as they wereIf it happens, it'll be the first time Jen, Courteney, Lisa Kudrow, Matthew Perry, Matt LeBlanc and David Schwimmer have appeared on screen together since May 2004.

Jen, 37, was in a teasing mood when asked if she and Vince Vaughn were an item and replied: "Where do you hear that?"

She also got a little bit tearful when Judy told her: "You've got millions and millions of people wishing you well.

"I have to say, I honestly don't know of anybody that we've interviewed who has inspired so many of our friends and teenage children to say, 'please tell her I love her'."

Jen could only respond: "Thank you, you've got me all kerplunked!"

The full interview will be shown on Channel 4 at 5pm on Monday 17th July.
