David Baddiel and Hugh Dennis, friends for four decades, continue their French cycling adventure this Saturday on Channel 4’s “Two Men On A Bike.” This episode finds them tackling the scenic but sometimes challenging terrain along the Canal du Midi, covering over 200 miles of French countryside.
Expect the usual mix of stunning scenery, good-natured bickering, and surprisingly insightful conversation as the pair pedal their way through picturesque villages and encounter local characters. This leg of their journey includes a visit with an artisanal dye expert, a spontaneous gatecrashing of a local fiesta, and, for Hugh Dennis, a much-anticipated culinary experience: sampling cassoulet in Castelnaudary, its purported birthplace.
Their cycling odyssey culminates at the magnificent medieval citadel of Carcassonne, a fittingly dramatic end to this episode. But before they get there, Baddiel’s cycling prowess – and his knee – will be put to the test. Tune in to Channel 4 this Saturday at 7:00 PM for a dose of French charm and comedic camaraderie.
