Overview
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.

Overview
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.
