[edit] 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.

[edit] 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 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.
