The pair used to work on The Mary Whitehouse Experience back in 1990 alongside Rod Newman and Steve Punt. Now they will be getting together for a very different reason, to cycle across France, with Hugh on his reliable bicycle and David on an E-Bike. Speaking on ITV‘s Lorraine, David said: “I love [Hugh Dennis] and he asked me to cycle across France for this show for Channel 4. “I said ‘well, you’re a proper cyclist, he’s cycled in the Alps, he’s done half of the Tour de France. I do not do that, look at me. So I said I’d do it on my E-Bike. ” He’s on a big racer with all the gear, I’m basically looking like this on my E-Bike and we’re cycling across France.” David said he had a right laugh making it with his old buddy, joking: “Mainly, my bottom is alright. “I didn’t know this, because basically I’ve only ever cycled into town from my house, which is not a long way, the thing that hurts is not your legs but your bum.” Along the way they will be reunited with co-stars from The Mary Whitehouse Experience. David teased: “See if you can spot Steve Punt and Rob Newman.”, when posting about the series last week on social media. Producers Strawberry Blonde, who previously made The Great British Dig for Channel 4, are behind the programme, which is still untitled. The series will air next year, but before that Hugh will return to Outnumbered in this year’s Christmas special. He stars in it with Sue Skinner, who plays his on screen wife, and whom he is in a relationship with in real life. The show will see them once again play Pete and Sue Brockman, now parenting kids who are now grown adults. The original child stars Tyler Drew-Honey, Daniel Roche and Romona Marquez reprise their roles as fully grown adults.
