Channel 4’s “Two Men On A Bike” reaches its final destination this Saturday, but will the friendship of David Baddiel and Hugh Dennis survive the journey? The pair have pedaled over 200 miles across France, encountering picturesque villages, challenging hills, and plenty of comedic mishaps. In this season finale, they swap spokes for sails with a boat ride on the Canal du Midi.
A visit to the impressive Nine Locks of Fonseranes offers a break from the saddles, followed by the essential French experience: wine and cheese tasting at a Languedoc vineyard. Finally, they coast into the seaside town of Sète, concluding their French adventure.
The series has been a blend of travelogue and buddy comedy, with the French landscape serving as a backdrop for the duo’s banter and occasional bickering. Did Hugh succeed in his mission to turn cycling skeptic David into a true enthusiast? Will their friendship remain intact after weeks of shared exertion and questionable navigational choices? Find out this Saturday, May 10th, at 8:00 PM on Channel 4.
