Ralf Little Unveils Emergency Buzzer to Curb Will Mellor on Live Podcast Tour

On the upcoming 12-date 'November Nonsense' tour, a big red buzzer cuts Will Mellor’s mic; an emergency producer phone mutes off-the-cuff remarks.

Overview

  • During a Saturday Kitchen appearance, Little revealed his live shows will include a big red button and an emergency producer phone to cut off co-host Will Mellor’s mic if he strays into problematic territory.
  • The 12-date November Nonsense tour starts November 1 in Birmingham and leverages the duo’s rapport from the BBC sitcom Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps.
  • Little reiterated that he left Death in Paradise last year by mutual agreement with producers, believing Detective Inspector Neville Parker’s five-year arc had reached a natural conclusion.
  • Don Gilet has since taken over as lead detective on the BBC drama, which continues to stream on BBC iPlayer.
  • Little characterises the podcast market as fiercely competitive, comparing it to a professional wrestling arena, and sees live performances as a way to stand out in a crowded digital landscape.
