HUGH DENNIS AND DAVID BADDIEL TEAM UP FOR CHANNEL 4 FRENCH TRAVELOGUE

Comedian pals Hugh Dennis and David Baddiel have teamed up for a new Channel 4 travelogue which will see the pair cycle across France, with Dennis on his reliable bicycle and Baddiel on an E-Bike.

Speaking on ITV's Lorraine, Baddiel said: "I love [Hugh Dennis] and he asked me to cycle across France for this show for Channel 4. I said 'well, you're a proper cyclist, he's cycled in the Alps, he's done half of the Tour de France. I do not do that, look at me. So I said I'd do it on my E-Bike. He's on a big racer with all the gear, I'm basically looking like this on my E-Bike and we're cycling across France."

Meanwhile, Neil Morrissey and Martin Clunes are to reunite for factual entertainment series Neil & Martin’s Bon Voyage (3x60’) produced by Expectation for Gold, the nation’s favourite comedy channel.

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.

More details about both series will be announced in due course.
