The four-part factual entertainment series will see the duo take on a series of challenges to try and improve their lives. The pair will dabble in spirituality and living off-grid – leaving everything at home, including toilet paper – to find if there’s a better way to do their forties.

Along the way, viewers will get to see what makes their bromance tick, and watch as both actors confront their fear of ageing.

Will and Ralf first appeared together on BBC Two sitcom Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps, which ran from 2001-11. The two have since gone on to front a podcast, Two Pints, a live version of which toured English theatre in April this year.

Speaking of Will and Ralf Should Know Better, “I’ve wanted to do a series like this for years!” said Will. “Going on a journey with Ralf to open our minds and push our limits… what could possibly go wrong!? We’re both in our forties now and probably a bit set in our ways, so now is the perfect time to see how we could be doing life better. Hopefully, we’ll come out of it better equipped for the modern world and, ideally, still in one piece.”

“I am thrilled to be working with Will again as it’s always so much fun. We’ve just finished our podcast tour and I thought I might get a bit of a break from him!” said Ralf. “This time we get to explore how we should be living in the modern world while educating ourselves and having a laugh at the same time. I can’t wait to get going”.

Will and Ralf Should Know Better will air on U&Dave and stream on U later in 2024. U is the new ‘masterbrand’ uniting UKTV’s channels and streaming service.
