  • Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps

    Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps is a British comedy television series sitcom that ran from 26 February 2001 to 24 May 2011 and starred Sheridan Smith, Will Mellor, Ralf Little, Natalie Casey, Kathryn Drysdale and Luke Gell. Created and written by Susan Nickson, it is set in the town of Runcorn in Cheshire, England, and originally revolves around the lives of five twenty-somethings. Little departed after the airing of the sixth series with Smith and Drysdale leaving following the airing of the eighth series. The ninth and final series had major changes with new main cast members and new writers.

    The core cast have been augmented by various recurring characters throughout the series, including Beverly Callard, Lee Oakes, Hayley Bishop, Alison Mac, Thomas Nelstrop and Jonathon Dutton. The show was first broadcast in 2001 on BBC Two. The title was inspired by the 1980 hit single “Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps Please” by Splodgenessabounds. On 23 July 2011, it was confirmed that the series would not be returning due to BBC Three wanting to make room for new comedies and feeling that the series had come to a natural end following the departures of most of the main cast members.

    In Your Eyes

    by: Kate Ryan

    I feel the wind rushing through my hair,
    I've got the sun down on my face,
    I reach for the future, I won't look back,
    I wanna be free and leave it all behind,
    And I long to see
    Long to see the sunlight in your eyes,
    In your eyes
    I close my eyes and sense a mystery
    The scent of flowers in the air
    I've seen all the beauty, in everything
    Knowing it's real I feel so alive
    And I long to see
    Long to see the sunlight in your eyes,
