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

ok.co.uk:

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.

The sitcom, which aired from 1992 to 1998, followed the beer-drinking, TV-watching, woman-chasing antics of Tony and Gary. Caroline Quentin portrayed Dorothy, Gary's beleaguered girlfriend, while Leslie Ash played Debs, the object of Tony's affection.

Fast forward 27 years since the series wrapped, Neil Morrissey, 62, and Martin, 63, are teaming up again for a new travel series titled Neil and Martin's Bon Voyage on comedy channel U&Gold.

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.
