Thereâs already been talk of bringing back âMen Behaving Badlyâ, and now the nostalgia for millenial lad culture continues, with David Baddiel and Frank Skinner revealing theyâre keen to reboot their popular chat show.
The pair, whose distinctive MO saw them basically replicating the behavior of every bloke who ever sat on a sofa with his mates, were last seen together in âBaddiel and Skinner Unplannedâ 12 years ago, when the show finished online, after running on and off for 15 years.
But now, according to the Sun, they feel the time is right to revisit the show, which saw them taking questions from a live audience and basically having a chat.
David Baddiel says of the show now: âThe great thing about it was, even though it was very frightening, there was little work involved.
âWe just turned up and just did it. And I loved the fact you could go anywhere with it.
âThe first two series were live, the last three were edited. We could do it online or on cable.
âMe and Frank have talked about it. It would be a laugh. He lives on my road, itâs great.â
Only last month, actor Neil Morrissey would be open to the idea of reprising his former hit show âMen Behaving Badlyâ, although it would mean his character Tony and hapless flatmate Gary making different mistakes.
The show ran between 1992 and 1998, first on ITV then later the BBC, starring Neil (who replaced Harry Enfield) and Martin Clunes, as well as Leslie Ash and Caroline Quentin.
âWeâre old blokes now, and we couldnât be making the same mistakes,â Neil told Radio Times of the prospect of a future series.
âMartin Clunes is in pretty much the same boat as me. Weâd have to lobby [creator/writer] Simon Nye and [producer] Beryl Vertue and say, âThe public require it!ââ
However, the âDoc Martenâ star appears to have poured cold water on Neilâs hopes, telling Australian press last year:
âI donât think itâll ever happen. Weâre all in our fifties and post Operation Yewtree, I think itâll all be a bit something else. I donât know with men of our age.
âAnd letâs face it, the others havenât aged as well as me either!â
