Will Mellor and Ralf Little are back together,  now in their forties, these two best friends are on a mission to explore what it means to “do life better” as middle-aged men. Hitting the road in an electric car, they travel the length and breadth of the UK, sharing laughs, shedding tears, and learning more about themselves—and each other—than they have in the past two decades. Throughout their journey, Will and Ralf encounter fascinating characters and venture into unexpected worlds, stepping well outside their comfort zones. Each stop brings new challenges, opportunities for personal growth, and unforgettable memories.

In the first episode, edited by Roy Williams, Will and Ralf dive into the concept of strength—both physical and mental. They kick things off in Wrexham with Rebecca Roberts, a two-time World’s Strongest Woman, where they tackle Strongman events with mixed success. The duo then returns to Runcorn, home of Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps, where they find the Old Archer pub transformed into a Buddhist temple. Seeking inner peace, they face their physical limitations (and a few laughs) under the guidance of a Thai masseur known as ‘Ninja Nun.’ Roy Williams said he particularly enjoyed cutting the part based in the Buddhist temple.

Will & Ralf Should Know Better launches Monday 7th October at 10pm on U&Dave.
