Men be helping badly

Neil Morrissey and Martin Clunes reunite for new podcast

Men Behaving Badly stars Neil Morrissey and Martin Clunes are launching a new podcast together.

The pair reunited last year for the travelogue Bon Voyage around Southern France for the U&Gold channel – and now they are launching a comedy vodcast called Martin & Neil Aren’t Qualified, dishing out advice on people’s dilemmas, despite their lack of expertise.

In a video asking fans to submit problems to be addressed, Clunes joked: ‘Let’s be honest, there are not enough podcasts out there hosted by middle-aged white men, are there?’

‘You know what, I’m really thinking here and can't think of a single one,’ Morrissey replies.

‘So here's the thing,’ Clunes adds. ‘We actually need people to send us stuff: problems, questions, whatever's bothering them. Any stuff. DIY, love lives, why does my neighbour hate me – the big philosophical questions, whatever's rattling around your head.’

Morrissey replies: ‘So are you saying there are people out there who are desperate enough that they might want us to help solve their problems… Are we the best people to help with?

‘No but we'll have a go,’ Clunes said.

Morrissey then surmises: ‘So let me get this right: if anyone out there has a question about absolutely anything that ails them or otherwise, they send it in to us and we give them a steer on the right course of action – but probably not.’
