DEATH in Paradise star Ralf Little was among the all-star guest stars in the last-ever episode of a beloved BBC comedy.
Created by Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton, Inside No.9 concluded on Wednesday (June 12) after, fittingly, nine series.
The popular show began in 2014, with episodes of the comedy linked only by the number nine.
Ralf previously made an appearance back in 2020, the same year he signed up for Death in Paradise.
He made his return to Inside No.9 as viewers bid goodbye to the black comedy anthology series for good.
The finale, titled ‘Plodding On’, saw several past guest stars appear as fictionalised versions of themselves at a party while the show was wrapping up.
Other famous faces who appeared included Tim Key, Katherine Parkinson, Amanda Abbington and Anne Reid.
Sherlock co-creator and League of Gentlemen star Mark Gatiss, Steve’s Taskmaster co-star Nick Mohammed, Alison Steadman, Adrian Dunbar and Tamzin Outhwaite were also among those featured in the episode.
Earlier this year, Ralf also said his goodbyes to Death in Paradise in emotional scenes.
Having faced heartbreak more than once, his character DI Neville Parker finally got a happy ending.
Neville’s former colleague Florence Cassell (Josephine Jobert), who had previously rejected him, returned for the quirky detective’s final episodes.
The pair ultimately decided to leave the island together and sail off into the sunset – quite literally.
In the months since exiting the crime drama, Ralf has also sparked rumours of a beloved past project making a return.
From 2001 to 2006, the actor appeared as Jonny Keogh in BBC Two sitcom Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps.
He starred opposite Will Mellor, who played the role of Gaz Wilkinson and the pair now host a podcast called Two Pints with Will & Ralf.
Last month, the duo left fans excited after sharing snaps outside the show’s iconic boozer, prompting speculation about a possible reboot.
