90s sitcom's Neil & Martin look back at 'misogynist' characters

- JEN PHARO

NINETIES sitcom “lads” Tony and Gary really were Men Behaving Badly, says actor Neil Morrissey, who now thinks the characters were misogynists.

Neil, who played Tony, with Martin Clunes as his flatmate Gary, believes the 1990s series was so politically incorrect it could never be made today.

He said: "Tony and Gary were misogynistic ne'er-do-wells, but we kind of captured the zeitgeist because there was a lot of talk about laddism."
