Actor Ralf Little has been a television mainstay since he played Antony Royle in The Royle Family back in 1998. Following that breakthrough role, he went on to feature in popular programmes including Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps and the BBC’s Death in Paradise as the charming Detective Inspector Neville Parker. The performer departed the role in 2024, yet he’s continued to be a beloved figure on the crime drama, with numerous viewers hoping to witness his comeback. Whilst it appears there are no immediate plans for him to return as the DI in the near future, the situation differs regarding another character he’s portrayed. During Monday’s This Morning with Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley, the actor, who recently announced some thrilling news, disclosed he’s enthusiastic about bringing back the character Jonny Keogh in Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps, reports the Express . Ben said: “What about a remaking of Two Pints? It feels like lots of things have come back. It feels like that would be prime for that to get you all back. Ralf replied: “I think so. It’s on TV pretty much every day!” Will replied: “It’s the highest rated show still on telly that’s repeated on their channel because people are nostalgic and they loved it!” The This Morning presenter agreed, emphasising that the cast have matured and it would be wonderful to discover where their characters find themselves today. Ralf responded: “I think so. Part of Will and Ralf Should Know Better (their podcast), which is what we’re talking about. What I think is interesting is that back in the day, we were sort of Britain’s lads’ archetypal young lads. “We were Britain’s lads, and now we’re both middle-aged men. The world has changed, we’ve changed, I think that’s what makes Will and Ralf Should Know Better, really interesting and funny. I think the same thing could very much apply to what a version of Two Pints would look like.” Will disclosed to the two hosts that they’re both eager for the show to return, confessing they even had a script prepared. He remarked: “We pitched it and BBC turned it down, they simply said they don’t want to revisit it, but it doesn’t mean it’s over.” Ralf chimed in with: “Yeah, we’re open for business!” Will made a plea for anyone watching who wants to help bring back the show, adding: “Me and Ralf are up for it, so if anyone wants to make it, let’s do it.” This Morning can be viewed on ITVX.
