Ricky Tomlinson and Ralf Little reunite for Gold show

‘The Royle Family’ stars Ricky Tomlinson and Ralf Little are reuniting for new Gold show ‘Ricky and Ralf’s Very Northern Road Trip’.
The two actors – who played father and son Jim Royle and Anthony Royle in the beloved sitcom – will be seen driving around the north of England in a campervan to discover the wonders that part of the UK has to offer and along the way will share memories of their time working with one another and share a few jokes.
Speaking about the UKTV project, Ricky, 80, said: “People are always going on about exotic holidays here, luxury cruises there, finding your inner-self wherever. Now, don’t get me wrong, I love a bit of sun on the Med as much as the next man – but for my money, there’s everything you could ever want on your doorstep here in the north of England – and no better way to see it than in your own home on wheels.”
Ralf, 39, added: “I’ve been lucky enough to do a fair bit of travelling around various bits of the world – but this promises to be a holiday like no other. Weeks on the road, in a campervan with my 80-year-old TV dad. In the middle of autumn. What could possibly go wrong? Seriously, bring it on. Who knows, I may even be able to teach him a thing or two about the north.”
The series is the latest UKTV Original for Gold, following the success of ‘David Jason: Planes, Trains & Automobiles’ and the remakes of ‘Dad’s Army’ that proved to be hugely popular with viewers this year.
Gerald Casey, Gold channel director, said of the programme: “These are two comic icons and it’s clear how much they enjoy each other’s company – even in a campervan! We know that Gold viewers will really appreciate seeing their off-screen relationship and experiences as they travel the north together.”
‘Ricky and Ralf’s Very Northern Road Trip’ will air on Gold in 2020.
