Ralf, 45, and Will, 48, previously starred in the hit BBC sitcom, Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps between 2001 and 2009.

Despite various reports that the show would be coming back, the publicly funded corporation announced the end of the show in 2011.

After exploring other opportunities the pair are set to reunite once again for more laughs.

The duo are set to hit the road and embark on a nationwide tour together.

Over 12 gigs they will go round the UK as part of their November Nonsense: Two Pints Podcast set of shows.

They will kick off the project in Birmingham on the first day of November and travel across the country.

This is before they will end the party at Stoke’s Regent Theatre on November 22. 

The last time the pair were on screen together was on their comedy show, Will and Ralf Should Know Better, on U&Dave in 2024.

Ralf couldn’t help but gush about the opportunity as he said: “We absolutely love going on tour.

“Being on stage is such a buzz and with the crowd we have a right laugh, November can’t come soon enough.” 

While Will added: “Me and Ralf live on stage again, what could possibly go wrong!?!  

“We absolutely love doing our live show and we just want everyone to come along, get involved and hopefully have a great time! Bring on November!!”

We previously reported that despite the BBC thwarting his plans, Will was desperate to bring back Two Pints of Lager.

The former Strictly star also admitted that show writer Susan Nickson wanted to work on the show again as he told us: “The script is done.

“I wanted to bring it back for a season but the BBC said no and BBC THREE said no. It was quite a cult thing, I still get stopped in the street now. I know Ralf is the same as me – he wants to bring it back.”

He added: “Susan owns it as she wrote it but the BBC have the licence on it and I’m not sure when it runs out.

“I said why can’t we do it and put it out ourselves but I don’t want to be that person who charges £5 to watch it, things are getting expensive enough as it is.”

The family-friendly holiday resort, Butlin’s, has launched their all-inclusive bundles at all three locations, Bognor Regis, Minehead and Skegness.

The four-night deal for a family with two adults and two children (five and under) includes accommodation, unlimited breakfast and dinner, as well as five different dining plans, and the all-inclusive drinks deal.

The all-inclusive drinks package allows guests to enjoy unlimited access to a variety of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks from cocktails to beers, wine, spirits, soft drinks, and Costa Coffee.

Aimed for families with younger children, the bundle is only available for those with a Showtime Term-Time midweek booking.

While it’s during term time, there’s still lots going on at Butlin’s including free access to the Splash Waterworld pool that has thrilling flumes, slides, rapids and of course, a lazy river.

There are also shallow pools for the kids with smaller slides and fun water fountains.

Out of the water, there are theatrical performances and a year-round pantomime of Snow White and her Magnificent Friends, and Animals and Mythical Beasts, plus the Butlin’s party show that happens in every resort throughout the day.

For families staying at the Skegness and Minehead resorts, you can also enjoy the new Skypark.

The colourful play ground has various zones which are themed around emotions. There are tunnels, towers, interactive games and it’s designed for children up to 12 years old.

There are plenty of other features too like a wheelchair-friendly seesaw, trampolines and two intertwining slides. After dark, the Skypark also lights-up so kids can play into the evening.

The all-inclusive offer starts from £399 for a four-night break based on a family of four (two adults and two children aged five and under) sharing a two-bedroom Comfort Room, with Food Court dining and an all-inclusive drinks package.

“We’re all about offering incredible value for money and with our new All Inclusive bundles a family of four can sleep, eat, drink and enjoy live shows and activities at the Home of Entertainment for less than £100 a night.” 

For anyone planning a visit to the Bognor Regis resort after Easter, there will be a new Soft Play and Puppet Theatre centre to explore.

It will be a huge 3,000 square foot, making it the biggest ever on a Butlin’s site.

The new attraction will be spread over four floors and will have interactive and sensory play.

The different levels will also be suitable for different children, one for babies, toddlers and older children.

The new puppet shows will include be featured around various themes, Under The Sea, Jingle in the Jungle and Christmouse Wonderland.

FLAG carrier Air New Zealand is set to launch its long-awaited economy bunk beds next year – six years after it first came up with the idea.

Getting to sleep on planes is never easy, particularly in economy cabins, where legroom and comfy chairs are hard to come by.

But from next year Air New Zealand hopes to introduce the world’s first lie-flat sleep pods for economy class passengers.

Dubbed Skynest, it’s set to debut on the airline’s Boeing 787 Dreamliners from early next year.

The pods look like the bunk beds used by flight attendants on long-haul flights or a bed in a capsule hotel.

Each Skynest features six beds, with three beds stacked vertically on either side of a designated area.

A ladder sits in the middle of each stack, giving passengers easy access to the upper bunks.

Passengers will get a four hour slot in which to stretch out, have a snooze and forget about the person in front reclining their seat.

A pillow, a sheet and a blanket, all of which are changed between passengers, are included in each bed.

Each bed will come with its own eye mask and ear plugs, making it easier for those using the service to drift off.

The beds will each have a separate reading light, USB outlet and a curtain for added privacy.

Each Skynest bed will be available to book in four-hour sessions during the flight and is limited to one per passenger.

Passengers travelling in economy and premium economy will be able to book the Skynest.

However, it won’t be available for passengers travelling in business class.

Air New Zealand initially hoped to introduce Skynest in September 2024 but this launch was delayed.

According to AFAR, the retrofit is now underway, with the airline’s bunk beds slated to appear on the 18-hour New York to Auckland flights from next year.

Leanne Geraghty, chief customer and sales officer at Air New Zealand, previously told said: “We know that most people undergo a 90-minute REM (rapid eye movement) cycle.

“So, the four hour block allows them to have two of those REM cycles with time to wind down and then wake back up.

“For those customers that are deep in slumber, the crew will gently wake them as they do every day on our flights when we’re coming in to land after a long-haul flight.”

Air New Zealand say they are the first airline to offer such a service to economy passengers, meaning that unless you’re flying with them, you’re likely to be stuck in your normal uncomfortable seat

Last week, deputy travel editor Kara Godfrey got to glimpse the new business class pods on Cathay Pacific.

Meanwhile, an airline has launched new plane seats you can recline without ever annoying other passengers.

We’ve also revealed Turkish Airlines’ new business class seats – who was named the best European airline by Skytrax.

And Delta has new economy seats as well.

Junio Pereira Barbosa, 27, was killed in Minas Gerais, Brazil, after his pizza was poisoned before being strangled in late December last year – which his ex confessed to doing.

The pair had been in a relationship for years, but the young carer pressured Junio to get married, reports claim.

Elderly caregiver Vieira Caldeira paid for the fees and scheduled the wedding at the registry office.

She even bought the rings and her wedding dress – desperate to get the ceremony underway.

But 10 days before the wedding, the couple had an argument and Junio called it off.

They remained together however, and Vieira Caldeira had still hoped that he would show up to the ceremony – but he didn’t.

She has been charged with murder, as well as concealing a corpse, procedural fraud and arson after burning his car.

Cops said that Vieira Caldeira fed him pizza which resulted in him being gravely ill before strangling him the next day.

After Vieira Caldeira allegedly fed Junio poisonous pizza and strangled him the next day, she wrapped his body in a tarp and blanket and went to work in Junio’s car.

After returning from work, she went with her cousin to a shopping centre before stopping in a different neighbourhood where she abandoned the car and hid the keys.

She then allegedly tried to bury the body – but was unable to do so, before then setting the car on fire, cops said.

Marcus Rios, a detective investigating the case, told local media: “The motivation was really her dissatisfaction at not having been able to marry the victim.

“She felt rejected and took his life.”

He added that the ex had oppressed Junio and verbally abused him.

The detective also said that the accused had an affair and asked her lover where she could buy lead, claiming that she was going to kill rats on her grandmother’s farm.

The investigation determined that the unknown man didn’t play a part in Junio’s death.

The local authorities concluded their investigation last week and indicted the suspect.
