Back in 2000, riding high on the success of playing flatmates Gary and Tony in 1990s 'new lad' sitcom Men Behaving Badly, Martin Clunes and Neil Morrissey teamed up for a trip round Australia in the TV travelogue Men Down Under.

‘I remember we went right round Australia following the route the Olympic torch was about to take,’ remembers Doc Martin star Clunes, 63, of their Aussie adventure. ‘We did all sorts of things, including crocodile hunting and herding cattle!’

A quarter of a century on, the friends are reuniting for a road trip across France, where Morrissey has a second home, for U&Gold’s three-part series Neil & Martin’s Bon Voyage.
