Actor Martin Clunes has shared personal insights about his childhood as he and former co-star Neil Morrissey prepare for the premiere of their new program. The duo, known for their roles in the cherished BBC sitcom Men Behaving Badly, are joining forces once again in the French travel show, Neil & Martin’s Bon Voyage.
In the upcoming series, viewers will follow the pair as they embark on a journey through France, partaking in activities such as canoeing down the Dordogne River, cycling through Bordeaux’s vineyards, and exploring underground caves.
During the show, both actors reflect on their diverse upbringings. Martin, who attended a boarding school, admitted, “My childhood wasn’t idyllic, but I didn’t have anything to compare it to.” Neil, in contrast, grew up in care and shared, “The experiences you have when you’re young are always going to fold over into your life later on.”
