Must read

Martin Clunes and Neil Morrissey are set to reunite for a new three-part TV road trip adventure through France.

The Men Behaving Badly actors, both 62, last starred opposite each other as Tony Smart and Gary Strang in the comedy, which aired on ITV and then the BBC between 1992 and 1998.

Decades after the comedy show shot them to fame, the pair will now reunite as Neil shows Martin around the country he now calls his second home. 

The upcoming show, which will air on Gold next year, is titled Neil & Martin’s Bon Voyage. 

It will follow the pair traveling from Normandy, through the Alps to Neil’s home and cider apple orchard in the southern region.

As they take in the local food, landscapes and local traditions, the old friends will reconnect and reminisce on their professional and personal relationship that spans 30 years.

Neil said: ‘It’s fantastic we have this golden opportunity to reunite so I can introduce my pal Martin to all the things I love so much about France, along with some Gallic treasures I’ve always wanted to see.

‘I’ve fallen in love with this country, its glorious food, its delicious wine, and knowing Martin has an EU passport, I’m fairly certain he’ll be relocating here once I’ve finished with him.’

Martin said he was ‘really looking forward to all the sights, sounds, tastes, people and experiences Neil’s lined up for me in France’.

‘Most of all I’m looking forward to spending a great deal of time with my old mate Neil, who I’ve grown to miss more than ever since he’s absconded to a country which he claims has the best scenery, food and wine on earth – is he right?’, he added.

‘I intend to find out by devouring the lot of it and seeing what I can remember afterwards.’

Neil replaced Harry Enfield on Men Behaving Badly, starring opposite Martin Clunes, Caroline Quentin and Lesley Ash.

The pair previously treated fans to reprisal of their roles in 2014 for a one-off comedy sketch for Channel 4’s Feeling Nuts in aid of testicular cancer, after 15 years away from screens.

The lovable rogues of the nineties Gary Strang and Tony Smart returned for a one-off comedy sketch – which saw model Abbey Clancy make a cameo – that saw them discussing the pitfalls of modern dating while drinking cans on their iconic sofa.
