Neil Morrissey admits Men Behaving Badly was 'misogynistic' as he reunites with Martin Clunes


The stars of Men Behaving Badly, Neil Morrissey and Martin Clunes, have reunited for a new travel series, with Neil admitting that the iconic sitcom wouldn't be made today.

Neil Morrissey has labelled his iconic Men Behaving Badly character Tony Smart and Martin Clunes' Gary Strang as "misogynistic", asserting that the show wouldn't pass muster in today's climate. Reflecting on their past roles, Neil comments on the show: "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 and we were given that title of 'the lads' of the era. The series kicks off with them sipping their first drink atop a sand dune, followed by Martin presenting Neil with an already-open bottle of liquor upon arrival at his French residence, jokingly excusing himself with, "I got thirsty in the night."
