Actors Martin Clunes and Julie Graham, best known for their roles as lovers in the ITV series "William & Mary," have reunited for a summer holiday, two decades after the show concluded.
Graham, 61, shared images from their getaway on social media, describing the activities as "wine, song, biking, swimming, dancing, belly laughing." The carousel of photos included a selfie with Clunes, 64, and Graham's husband of seven years, Davy Croket. Graham also posted bikini-clad pictures of herself enjoying warm weather.
Fans expressed their delight at seeing the "William & Mary" co-stars together again. "William and Mary is one of my favourite shows. Beautiful to see you and Martin are still in touch," one follower commented on Graham's post.
The actors played widowed undertaker William and midwife Mary in the 18-episode comedy-drama, which aired for three seasons, concluding in 2005. Despite the show ending, Clunes and Graham have maintained a close friendship.
In a 2020 interview on "Lorraine," Graham referred to Clunes as "one of my best pals" and revealed he attended her wedding and gave her away. Graham married Belgian skydiving instructor Davy Croket in 2019, having met him while filming the ITV comedy "Benidorm." Clunes has been married to television producer Philippa Braithwaite since 1997.
Beyond "William & Mary," Clunes and Graham also starred together in the 2000 film "Dirty Tricks." Graham also made a guest appearance on Clunes's popular series "Doc Martin."
Graham has previously expressed interest in a "William & Mary" revival, stating in a 2020 interview that ITV "need to make that happen." She recently discussed the challenges of finding substantial roles for actresses her age, noting that scripts often do not offer complex female characters over 50.
Clunes has recently been involved in a Hollywood project, starring alongside Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi in Emerald Fennell's film "Wuthering Heights." He played Cathy's father, Mr. Earnshaw. Clunes described the experience of attending premieres and being among A-list actors as "weird" but also "exciting and scary."
