North Yorkshire
Ricky and Ralf hit Yorkshire in their quest to find the true 鈥榥orth鈥� 鈥� with a boxing session in Leeds, chocolate in York, curry in Bradford and braving 鈥楧racula town鈥� Whitby.
Royle Family dad and son Ricky Tomlinson and Ralf Little have reunited on a hilarious and heartwarming camper van adventure across the length and breadth of northern England, exploring just how much it has changed in the 20-odd years since they first met.
This time, it鈥檚 Yorkshire, and Ricky鈥檚 joining Ralf for a boxing and fitness session at a men鈥檚 community health group in Leeds. The results aren鈥檛 pretty! But it does work up a monster appetite; if only Ricky can satisfy his with a dish he鈥檚 always found too spicy鈥� The pair find out at an award-winning restaurant in official UK curry capital Bradford.
Ralf fulfils a childhood dream when he gets to stoke the engine on a traditional steam train on the historical Keighley & Worth Valley line, made famous in the film The Railway Children. Ricky opts for the more sedate option 鈥� sitting with the passengers...
And after getting stuck in as willing Oompa Loompas in a real-life York artisan chocolate works, the pair end their trip in the beautiful east coast town of Whitby, a place linked inextricably with the Dracula story. Good timing, as it鈥檚 Halloween 鈥� but will they be too scared to take a walking tour of its spookiest bits with sinister guide 鈥楧r Crank鈥欌��?
