We're All in This Together recently featured on a BBC dance show raising money for charity. Two stars from on of the UKs biggest soaps performed to the track and did the same moves as the cast did in the final scene of HSM.

"High School Musical 4" will debut on the Disney Channel in 2010 -- marking a return to its original cable home after the third instalment danced into movie theaters in 2008.

Disney Channel said in a statement the story would feature a music- and dance-filled love triangle set against cross-town rivalry between fictional high schools in Albuquerque, N.M.

It will introduce a new cast of characters after the fictional "graduation" of the original stars Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Tisdale in "High School Musical 3: Senior Year".

"High School Musical" and its spin-offs have proved a lucrative global franchise for Disney since the first made-for-TV movie aired on the Disney Channel in January 2006.

The first two TV movies have been seen by some 300 million viewers in more than 100 nations, including India, China and Russia, produced a hit soundtrack album, a concert tour and a vast range of toys, clothes and books.

"High School Musical 3: Senior Year" -- the first to be made as a feature movie -- has grossed some $250 million at the worldwide box office since its October 2008 release.

Most of the original cast said last year they would not be returning if a fourth instalment were made.

High School Musical returns to TV

Fresh off its 2008 field trip to the silver screen, the High School Musical franchise is returning to the small screen for its fourth instalment... but will any of its best known stars return with it?

Fans of Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens shouldn't get their hopes up: Disney has announced that the made-for-TV movie will feature "a new cast of characters".

It's not yet clear whether stars Matt Prokop, Justin Martin and Jemma McKenzie-Brown, who were introduced in High School Musical 3 with the intent of taking the lead in future instalments, will be involved in High School Musical 4.

Disney added that High School Musical 4 will revolve around "a classic love triangle set against the cross-town school rivalry between the East High Wildcats and West High Knights".

Production will commence later this year, with the film slated to premiere in 2010

It'll be interesting to see what they come up with and how many of the HSM current fans follow.
