David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson return with a little help from none other than Billy Connolly - to pick up where the cult series left off and continue to search for the truth.

Duchovny said he enjoyed getting back into the character of Mulder.

He said when they two began filming scenes together again it was an easy transition.

Many deemed the X-Files to be over after the television series ended.

But the writer and directors said if there is a demand there are even more stories they could tell.
