The Booze Cruise

The Booze Cruise

"The Booze Cruise" is a feature length comedy drama written for British television on the channel ITV, shown in 2003.

The three episodes have received mixed reviews, with the Radio Times describing it as "like comedy in 1973" and also "you can see each joke a mile off", but generally liking the show.

Episodes

The Booze Cruise (2003)

In the original episode a group of men from Kent; Clive (Martin Clunes), Rob (Neil Pearson), Dave (Mark Benton), Maurice (Brian Murphy) and Daniel (Ben Whishaw) - went on a booze cruise to France, with mixed success and many mishaps along the way. The events involving their wives and families back home also formed a large part of the plot.

Two follow-up episodes were also created, featuring the same characters, with the exception of Clive, who didn't appear in either sequel owing to Martin Clunes's Doc Martin comitments . Daniel was played by Tom Bennett, and only appeared in "The Booze Cruise I", while Amanda Abbington took on the role of Leone.

The Booze Cruise II: The Treasure Hunt (2005)

In this episode the same characters went on a treasure hunt, and ended up with their car being washed out to sea on a beach. Marcus (a businessman who deals with Dave's company) first appeared in this episode.

The Booze Cruise III: The Scattering (2006)

The characters went to Yorkshire for a variety of reasons including scattering the ashes of Maurice's mother-in-law on the Moors. In this episode both Rob's estranged wife (Leone) and his new girlfriend were in the same car, causing much friction.
