Will Mellor and Ralf Little pose outside pub used in Two Pints of Larger

Will Mellor and Ralf Little took a trip down memory lane and visited the pub at the heart of Two Pints of Larger and A Packet Of Crisps.

The men looked back on the "good times" as they paid a visit to The Archer in Runcorn, Cheshire.

In a video of the pair, 45-year-old Will said: "Out and about today and can you guess where we are?

"Look at that," Ralf grinned.

"Mate, memories! It's like goosebumps time, how much time we spent out here outside The Archer," Will said.

"So yeah, we are out filming in Runcorn today," he continued.

Ralf said: "Nothing's changed, except that it's a Buddhist temple now,"

"It's where it all began, oh The Archer, good times!" the dad-of-two signed off.

The Mirror exclusively revealed how Will is refusing to give up on the revival of Two Pints, despite the BBC rejecting the script.

Will praised the script written by Susan Nixon called Two Pints Last Orders.

"It was Gaz still in the pub. He's got three garages now and he's 45, but he's still trying to talk to women the way he used to."

While Will says he's not sure how a new audience would take to the show, he's adamant there's still a whole generation of people who would still love it.

The actors were also met with pleas from fans to bring the much-loved show back.

"Please Reunion of 2 pints of Lager and a packet of crisps would be brilliant," one wrote.

Another said: "Ahhh my home town!! More Two Pints please!"

"Omg I love you two!! I really want the full original cast back together!! I still watch the show now at 26 and live in Widnes!" one chimed.

"Would love a new series of two pints, please bring back good TV", another wrote.

Will recently said how happy he was that his Two Pints podcast with Ralf helped people through lockdown.

The pair continued to record their episodes during the pandemic, albeit not from their usual spot in the pub.

The podcast has been listened to over 41 million time receiving rave reviews as they offer they own general chit chat and funny banter.

He said: "Through lockdown a lot of people got in touch and said it [the podcast] helped them through lockdown and give them something to listen to, something to look forward to, especially with the pubs shut. They could have a beer with us."

"I think talking about mental health helps. When you say mental health, there is a large spectrum on what that means, but for me talking does help and having interaction with people and being able to open up and talk about things does help."

"It's always good to share and open up and it's easier said than done sometimes, but you'd be surprised how much when you do talk that somebody else offers a message.

"You know, I've been like that and you realise there's other people suffering as well, but they've been silent."
