Mortimer and Whitehouse: Gone Fishing

New. To celebrate another year of fishing, Paul and Bob travel to south west France to fish the River Lot and soak up the local culture.

While in Norfolk fishing for tench, Bob tries to impress Paul and fails - after a brief respite in a local brewery, they camp down in yurts before fishing again the next day.

Paul and Bob fish for the mighty barbel in Hay-on-Wye - passing a graveyard, they muse about the future and chat to a local vicar about death and their own funerals.

Paul teaches Bob how to fly-fish for rainbow trout in the Monsal Valley in Derbyshire - they also discuss their beginnings in showbusiness and gossip about their contemporaries..

Paul and Bob fish on the River Wensum in search of roach - they realise that age is taking its toll on their physicality, but Bob has a plan to help Paul recapture his youth.

Paul fishes at the famous Bridge Pool near Christchurch in Dorset in a bid to catch sea trout - Bob arrives late, but he redeems himself by hooking the first fish of the day..

Paul and Bob decide to try and catch a legendary pike - facing the future, they write a eulogy for each other and invite a consultant cardiologist to dinner for some medical tips.
