As a devoted fan who has grown up with the laughter and camaraderie of “Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps,” I can’t help but feel a twinge of nostalgia reading Will Mellor‘s latest update on the potential reunion of this beloved sitcom.

Will Mellor has shared an update on a possible Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps reunion.

A popular figure from “Strictly Come Dancing” recently got together with his former castmate Ralf Little for a new reality program titled “Will & Ralf Should Know Better,” fueling speculation among viewers that a revival of their successful sitcom might be underway.

As of late, Mellor has disclosed that he’s been handed a draft for a possible revival; however, making progress on this front has proven difficult since the BBC has chosen not to advance the project.

He shared that he had made an effort, going so far as to obtain a first draft of an episode titled “Two Pints Last Orders” from writer Susan Nixon. This was the information he conveyed to MailOnline.

The situation seemed reminiscent of a climactic showdown, like a “Where are they now?” scenario. However, contrary to appearances, Johnny isn’t deceased; instead, he’s been evading a debt collector or something similar.

However, both BBC and BBC Three declined, opting to replay older content which is currently achieving the highest viewership on their channel. This leaves one wondering, “What is the reasoning behind this decision?

“I’ve agreed to take on the task, and so has Ralf. In fact, he’d be willing to participate in a full-hour Christmas special, all for the sake of our fans.

Mellor went on to say, “The series had a cult following. It endured for as long as it did because of the audience’s backing.

Previously mentioned, if we fund and execute the project ourselves, it would require distribution through a paid streaming service. However, given our current economic hardship, this might not be feasible for many fans.

“I’m unable to make that happen because it seems unfair to charge people for content they’ve already supported. Ideally, someone else should cover the costs. Unfortunately, we don’t have that luxury yet. We need a broadcaster or channel to step in and take on the project.
