  • 2025 Gold TV series Neil & Martin's Bon Voyage will see the Men Behaving Badly stars travel around France
  • "The two friends will reconnect and reminisce on a professional and personal relationship that spans thirty years"

Neil Morrissey and Martin Clunes are reuniting to film new TV factual entertainment series Neil & Martin's Bon Voyage.

The three-part series will air on Gold in 2025.

The channel says: "Having famously starred together as flatmates Tony and Gary in Men Behaving Badly, in this new series Neil Morrissey will take Martin Clunes on a road trip through France, the country that has become his second home. From Normandy, through the Alps and to Neil's home and cider apple orchard in the South, and taking in beautiful food, sweeping landscapes and fascinating local traditions, the two friends will reconnect and reminisce on a professional and personal relationship that spans thirty years."

Neil Morrissey says: "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 Clunes adds: "I'm 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? I intend to find out by devouring the lot of it and seeing what I can remember afterwards."

Commissioner Kirsty Hanson comments: "Neil & Martin's Bon Voyage promises to be warm, nostalgic and a privileged birds-eye view on Neil and Martin's genuine and witty friendship."

Ben Wicks from production company Expectation notes: "We're elated Neil and Martin are reuniting to film a three-part buddy movie around the beautiful French countryside. Hats off to the wonderful people at Gold for backing a reunion as long overdue, and every bit as exciting as that of Noel and Liam, without resorting to dynamic pricing."
