Bob Mortimer and Paul Whitehouse return with their beloved angling show

Comedians and close friends Bob Mortimer and Paul Whitehouse embark on more fun-filled adventures in the seventh series of their BAFTA-nominated show Mortimer & Whitehouse: Gone Fishing – and, as usual, the pair mess about as they attempt to land fish in some of Britain and Ireland’s most tranquil and picturesque beauty spots.

The opening episode sees the duo – along with Ted the dog, of course – head to Rocklands Mere Fishery in Norfolk to fish for tench. It’s the starting point for more laughs, capers and heartfelt chats between the pair, including Mortimer opening up about his battle with shingles last year.
