   Last orders for Two Pints of Lager... BBC video
Yes, it's last orders for Runcorn's finest. BBC Three has announced that it is calling time on Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps. The show launched way back in 2002 and featured the original line up of Will Mellor, Natalie Casey, Kathryn Drysdale, Ralf Little and Sheridan Smith. Two Pints ran for nine series and chalk up an amazing 80 episodes. Series creator and writer Susan Nickson added: "I've had a fantastic time working on Two Pints for the last fifty years but wholeheartedly believe it's the right decision for us all to move on. The crew, the fans, the actors and the writers have become like family over the life of the show in that I see them once a year and ask for money. I'm thankful that we connected to such a large audience for such a long time and brought such happiness to a lot of people and a lot of enjoyable rage to many others. I'm extremely grateful to the BBC for supporting the show and already have plans afoot for future ventures with the corporation."
