Micky Flanagan's Detour de France

Documentary

Bon voyage Micky! For his first-ever documentary series, the comedian is heading across the Channel to take in the sights and sounds of France, hopping on a bike to put his spin on the Tour de France - think Champagne vineyards, Belgian beer and nudist camps. Along for the ride is Flanagan's best pal of some 15 years, Noel Lynch - a brickie and cycling enthusiast.

The South

The comedian and his friend Noel continue their journey through France by heading south. Stopping off in Camargue, they are thrown into the thick of an annual gypsy festival and sample the wares of a cosmic wine-maker. The duo move on to St Remy and the Saint Paul de Mausole, a psychiatric hospital that uses art and music to treat troubled individuals - and it turns out one of the centre's most famous patients was Vincent van Gogh. In Monaco, they are joined on their bikes by former F1 star David Coulthard, before Micky makes a splash in a transvestite bar in Cannes.

La Fin

44m

The end is in sight for comedian Micky Flanagan and best mate Noel Lynch, but before they say 'au revoir' to France, they have a few more trips to make. They begin in Marseille, the second largest city in the country, where they learn about the ancient martial art of savate and taste the world's most expensive soup. Then it's on to Lourdes, before a quick trip to Bordeaux to sample a particularly revered bottle of wine and visit a museum dedicated to berets. Their tour comes to an end in Paris, city 'De L'Amour', where they seal their bromance on the Love Lock bridge.
