The show saw the pair take to two wheels and explore Britain's glorious national parks from the saddle.

However, when asked if there would be another series he told Flying Eze: “Unfortunately, no. He's busy in the grain now, you know, he's selling wild farm grains.

“And, you know, we get to spend some time together.

“But, you know, the set, as you would know, you're like setting out a schedule for a show like that.

“You need to be, you know, a period of two or three months locked in where you can both do it.

“So it's a little bit difficult. But I live in hopes that that might happen again.

“I think it was one of the fondest memories I have is of going around the country with him.”

Larry was being interviewed about his campaign and partnership with to help Brits embrace pub garden season — rain or shine.

The pub chain appointed as Britain’s first ever pub garden presenter of ‘The Sipping Forecast' – a pub-friendly weather report designed to help punters navigate the unpredictable conditions.

When asked about his involvement he replied: “Well, it's like, you know, trying to get people to use pubs for what they really are for.

“Which is a public house, a place where people can gather together. and, you know, either commiserate or celebrate or just, you know, just mix and chat.

“And so for me, you know, it's like that show that sort of put me on the map.

“It's very much made me a part of sort of English life.

“And so Green King asked me if I'd be interested, you know, because I sort of represent a lot of people, a lot of ordinary people like old Mick Shipman and Pamela.

“And so, you know, they're the sort of people that go to pubs and sit in a pub garden, have a pint of .

“That's it. That's why, you know, that's why I'm sort of involved with it.”

Elsewhere, in an behind the scenes secrets of his Gavin and Stacey Christmas episode.

He said: “It was a struggle to contain the emotion. You get caught up in it. It was absolutely brilliant writing.

He recalled one incident when Alison Steadman, who plays on-screen wife Pam, and Julia Davis, who portrays their friend Dawn, dissolved into fits of giggles.

He explained: “Julia said something that got Alison giggling, and that got everybody else giggling, and then it just went on and on. And then all of a sudden, everybody blows up.

“It just got more and more and more chaotic, to the point where the director said to me, ‘For God’s sake, just be Mick and shout at them all, will you?’.

“So that’s what I did. I stood up and shouted at them all. I said, ‘Just shut up here. We’ve got to get this’.”

This April, Larry will be delivering special broadcasts to ensure Brits are prepared for pub garden season, come wind, rain, or shine, because at Greene King, the good times are (almost) always guaranteed, no matter the weather.

And for those who do get caught in the first April showers? Greene King Pubs is giving away 100,000 free pints as part of its ‘When It Rains, We Pour’ initiative.
