Oh, the early Noughties. A bygone era when eyebrows were scarily thin, jeans dangerously low-rise and a time before social media had turned us all into news feed scrolling, selfie-obsessed zombies. Simpler times.
And the telly was pretty good, too. One of our personal faves was the sassy AF and, at times, downright ludicrous Footballers' Wives, which followed the debaucherous lives of a fictional Premier League football club Earls Park F.C and their glamorous WAGs.
Footballers' Wives aired from January 2002 to April 2006, when it was cancelled after suffering a fall in ratings. However, former cast member Gary Lucy has now confirmed there have been talks about bringing the epic series back for a revival.
Gary, who played football pro Kyle Pascoe, revealed a comeback could be on the cards in the future, telling The Sun, "It was a fantastic time in my life."
He added: "I was 21-years-old, I was living the dream at the time and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
"There has been loads of talk about it but would I go back? I'd absolutely love to revisit that at some point but who knows what the future brings."

Footballers' wives then and now (slider)
1 of 22Zoe Lucker (Tanya Turner) then
Oh, how we longed to be as sassy and self-aware as Tanya Turner back in the day. She was just QUEEN of the WAGs, wasn't she?
2 of 22Zoe Lucker (Tanya Turner) now
Since the show's cancellation in 2006, Zoe's done pretty bloomin' well for herself in the world of TV. She's gone on to secure leading roles; including playing Vanessa Gold in EastEnders (2010-2011) and Reenie McQueen in Hollyoaks (2015). Zoe also finished tenth in the 2009 series of Strictly Come Dancing.
3 of 22Cristian Solimeno (Jason Turner) then
We had literally the biggest crush on bad boy Jason Turner in the early '00s. We're putting it down to the perfectly-preened facial hair and gruff voice, tbh.

Cristian's Hollyoaks character Ray McCormick was killed off the show in 2013, but he's more recently directed a number of projects including 2011's The Glass Man.
5 of 22Gary Lucy (Kyle Pascoe) then
Chardonnay's other half Kyle was an absolute heartthrob, but where on Earth is he now?
6 of 22Gary Lucy (Kyle Pascoe) now
Arguably one of the show's most successful stars, Gary Lucy's currently getting his kit off on tour with The Full Monty. He also played Will Fletcher in The Bill and took part in Dancing on Ice twice.
7 of 22Susie Amy (Chardonnay Lane-Pascoe) then
We're not gonna lie, we very nearly changed our name to Chardonnay by deed poll thanks to Susie's Footballers' Wives character. CLASSY.
8 of 22Susie Amy (Chardonnay Lane-Pascoe) now
Since leaving the show, Susie's appeared in Hotel Babylon and Coronation Street. Oh, and who can forget axed 2008 drama Echo Beach? A classic gone too soon.
9 of 22Ben Price (Conrad Gates) then
No prizes for guessing which famous footballer Ben's character Conrad Gates was styled on.
10 of 22Ben Price (Conrad Gates) now
Ben's played Nick Tilsley in Coronation Street since 2009, which isn't bad going.
11 of 22Gillian Taylforth (Jackie Pascoe-Webb) then
We're not sure we'll ever forget Jackie's shagging-Jason-on-a-snooker table scene. What a moment.
12 of 22Gillian Taylforth (Jackie Pascoe-Webb) now
Let's not forget Gillian first shot to fame as Kathy Beale in EastEnders; with her returning to Albert Square in 2015.
13 of 22Jamie Davis (Harley Lawson) then
Not only did Jamie appear in Footballers' Wives as Harley; he was also in the show's ITV2 spin-off, too.
14 of 22Jamie Davis (Harley Lawson) now
Jamie's still a regular on the tellybox, and joined Casualty in 2013 as Max Walker.
15 of 22Nathan Constance (Ian Walmsley) then
We, again, fancied Ian a lot. No surprises there.
16 of 22Nathan Constance (Ian Walmsley) now
Nathan now lends his voice to video games, having worked on Titanfall and Battlefield 1.
17 of 22Daniel Schutzmann (Salvatore Biagi) then
Salvatore was just SO BLOODY SUAVE. Obsessed to this day.
18 of 22Daniel Schutzmann (Salvatore Biagi) now
Daniel's since popped up in a few episodes of Coronation Street and appeared in almost 50 episodes of BBC drama Doctors as Franc Christophe. Oh, and he was in Neighbours.
19 of 22Katherine Monaghan (Donna Walmsley) then
Katherine's first major role was in Footballers' Wives, in which she played Ian's wife Donna.
20 of 22Katherine Monaghan (Donna Walmsley) now
Much like Nathan, Katherine also works as a voiceover artist these days.
21 of 22Alison Newman (Hazel Bailey) then
Remember Earls Park F.C's club chairman Hazel? Scary af, she was.
22 of 22Alison Newman (Hazel Bailey) now
In quite possibly the strangest Twitter feud of all time, Alison found herself getting into a disagreement with outspoken US rapper Azealia Banks back in 2015 over the treatment of women and the gay community. Still wouldn't mess with her.
This comes as two of Gary's cast mates, Zoe Lucker who played the epic Tanya Turner and Laila Rouass who's character Amber Gates was Tanya's rival, hinted at a revival when they appeared on Loose Women together.
Discussing some of the show's more, erm, out there storylines, Zoe revealed her favourite was one which involved Tanya switching her baby for Amber's when both characters gave birth to boys at the same time.
"I always loved the baby swap it was so inappropriate," she explained.
"I said I wanted your baby, and then I put fake tan on her baby after stealing it and swapping it, and then unfortunately, my real baby got squished by my pug."
A classic, tbh.
