What is Neil & Martin's Bon Voyage about?
The forthcoming three-part series for Gold, titled Neil & Martin’s Bon Voyage, will see them travel from Normandy, through the Alps to Morrissey’s home and cider apple orchard in the southern region.
As they take in the local food, landscapes and local traditions, the old friends will reconnect and reminisce on their professional and personal relationship that spans 30 years.
Neil Morrissey said: "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 said: "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."
