Will Mellor teased that a final series is ready to go
Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps could return to TV for a final season in a bid to boost the nation’s morale.
Actor Will Mellor, who played Gaz in the show alongside Ralf Little, said a script has already been written for the hit comedy, which ran for a decade on BBC2 from 2001.
He said a final series – called Two Pints: Last Orders – could put a smile on the faces of everyone struggling with the cost of living crisis.
Speaking to the Daily Star, he said: “Two Pints represented the working class who are really struggling at the moment.
“The reason why it lasted so long is because people loved it. We have got a script – Two Pints: Last Orders.
“If they wanted to make it I would do it just to say thank you for all the support to the people who loved the show.”
Will hinted another network may step in to take on the show.
“Maybe, I don’t know,” he said. “I just keep my head above water.
“I’m a self-employed actor so we’ve got to keep moving with the times and keep doing what you have to do. It’s a show that I loved and it was a massive part of my life and a big part of other people’s lives.
“Nostalgia is a big thing as well so why not bring it back? Even if it’s for a little one-off like they did with Gavin & Stacey.”
Since the show finished Will has starred in Broadchurch, Coronation Street and reached a Strictly semi-final.
He has also continued working with The Royle Family star Ralf, 43, with whom he completed three series of a hit podcast.
“It was all positive and good for mental health,” he said.
“I went through a bit of a bad time losing my dad and it was a place I could talk about it and anyone listening who is going through time realising we’re all in this together.”
