Neil Morrissey and Martin Clunes, the beloved stars of the hit show "Men Behaving Badly", are reuniting for a road trip adventure through France. This three-part series for Gold, titled "Neil & Martin's Bon Voyage", will see the pair journey through Normandy, the Alps, and finally to Morrissey's home and cider apple orchard in the southern region. As they explore the local culture, food, and traditions, they will also reflect on their 30-year friendship and reminisce on their time together on and off screen.
Morrissey, who now calls France his second home, is excited to share his love for the country with his old friend Clunes. He jokes that Clunes, who has an EU passport, may even consider relocating there after experiencing the beauty and charm of France. Clunes, on the other hand, is looking forward to all the sights, sounds, and tastes that Morrissey has planned for him. He teases that he may not remember much after indulging in all the food and wine.
The duo's reunion comes after years of success and individual projects. Morrissey has featured in popular shows like "Waterloo Road" and "Line Of Duty", while Clunes has become known for his role as Dr. Martin Ellingham in "Doc Martin". But it seems they both couldn't resist the opportunity to come back together and film a buddy movie in the stunning French countryside.
UKTV senior commissioning editor, Kirsty Hanson, describes the series as "warm, nostalgic and a privileged birds-eye view" of the genuine and witty friendship between Morrissey and Clunes. Ben Wicks, creative director for entertainment at production company Expectation, adds that the reunion is long overdue and just as exciting as that of Noel and Liam Gallagher.
However, Morrissey has also expressed some doubts about whether the show would work in today's society. He questions if it would be "woke" enough, given the laddish humor and objectification of women in the original series. But he also jokes that they could incorporate wokeness by making his character, Tony, overly politically correct. Clunes also acknowledges that the show could never be made the same way today, with its jokes about women and objectification.
Despite these concerns, fans are eagerly anticipating the reunion of the iconic duo. And it seems the pair are excited as well, with Morrissey saying that if writer Simon Nye comes up with a great script, they may consider doing another series. But for now, viewers can enjoy "Men Behaving Badly" on ITVX and look forward to "Neil & Martin's Bon Voyage" airing on Gold in 2025.
