Two Pints? Two endings...
Viewers to decide sitcom's outcome
The ending of the eighth series of Two Pints Of Lager And A Packet Of Crisps is to be decided by the sitcom’s fans.BBC Three viewers will vote online to decide the outcome of a love triangle between Gaz, Janet and Donna.
Two endings will be filmed and the storyline with the highest amount of votes will be aired as the finale to series eight on May 10. The alternative ending will be available to view online.
The gimmick follows a live episode of Two Pints that aired in January last year, attracting an audience of 895,000 people.
BBC Three Controller, Danny Cohen, said: ‘We want to make sure we keep innovating when it comes to schedule favourites as well as new programmes on BBC Three. The last series of Two Pints included a live episode. For this series we're going to use interactivity to put viewers in charge of the plot.’
Voting will open after the penultimate episode is aired.
