The cult classic 'Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps' might be making an epic return to the screen. The sitcom, which featured Will Mellor and Ralf Little as Gaz Wilkinson and Jonny Keogh, alongside stars such as Sheridan Smith, Natalie Casey, and Kathryn Drysdale, has left fans eager for more following the success of Will and Ralf's 'Two Pints' podcast.

People are begging us to really bring it back, and I would always be up for going back there and revisiting it, whether it be a documentary or a one-off special, because it was a massive part of my life and people loved it." Adding to the intrigue, Will disclosed information about a 'lost' episode penned by series creator Susan Nickson that the BBC ultimately passed on.

"We offered it to the BBC - they said no.
