Mortimer & whitehouse: Gone fishing

[marsh]

I can't be alone in watching this, it's quite twee as both are fairly reflective having mildly cheated death.

 

I'm almost tempted to take up fishing....

 

 

[macosx]

I watched the first one, but felt it was really flat with not much chenistry between them

[Hello Goaty ♥]

I see what you mean.  

 

Probably should have had Bob Mortimer and Johnny Vegas just attempting to fish and failing to catch owt.

[Fierce Poodle]

I love it, it’s a really nice, gentle watch. Bob and Paul have great chemistry as you’d expect given they’ve been mates for donkeys years.

Eh? you sure you weren't watching something else?

[JPickford]

I don't normally like shows where celebs go on holiday but I really like this.   I found it really warm and funny with obvious affection between them.

Really I've  watched both and loved it. Think the chemistry is palpable. 

 

Laughing a lot. 

[roobarb]

I love this, have a warm spot for both of them having grown up with their stuff most of my life.

In fact I'm having a bit of a Bob moment recently - I'm ploughing through the Athletico podcasts ridiculously quickly.. he's become my Alderman

[SteveG]

Me and the wife love this too. It’s like The Trip crossed with an unscripted episode of the detectorists but the treasure they find gets admired and then returned to the lake for someone else to discover. 

 

I have always had a lot of love for Bob but It would be nothing without Paul’s fish knowledge.

It’s very much like the one they did three men in a boat with Griff.

I loved that. When they stopped off at David Gilmour's house boat/recording studio was great. Then when that wee twatty chef off of Ready Steady Cook was rude to Dara O'Briain. And when they left tea total Griff on his tod while they got pissed and stayed overnight in a local pub.

Bob doing his silent Deniro was very good indeed. Also, when Bob went shopping

[Nathan Wind]

Basically, Bob.  He is, and always has been, funny as fuck.  As noted, most of it is gentle stuff but the bit where he was putting on his waders while summoning his followers and goading his enemies had me in stitches.

[Cool Ben]

I really like these two and if they were doing anything else I would watch, but I am anti fishing.

[Nicky]

Just watched the first two episodes of this, and im in the "i like it" camp. i think there's great chemistry between the two. i'd like for the episodes to be a bit longer, with a little more fishing in, but it's lovely slowdown watching.

[marsh]

Some of the locations they've been to are stunning. Did both of them lead fairly hedonistic lifestyles? only neither one of them strikes me as being overly extravagant but both have underlying medical conditions. Loved the bit in the shop where he hugged the cake shelf 

[El Pibe]

Just watched episode 1. I liked it. It's nice

[Vorgot]

Another one who loves it, as do my 2 lads. Made me feel old when they didn't have a clue who Paul Whitehouse was though, I have educated them with some Fast Show since.

 

It's a nice, funny and warm piece of TV, and Bob is one of my all-time favourite performers (The Athletico Mince podcast is genius).

 

I think those of us at a certain age (I'm 46) will be more open to this, as Vic and Bob/Fast Show/Shooting Stars etc were all huge when I was at Uni and early twenties.

[Fierce Poodle]

This is the perfect antidote to the World Cup disappointment.

Bob's Desert Island Discs from Sunday is pretty wonderful;

Just getting round to watching all of this now. It's what id love The Grand Tour to be, just some friends sharing a hobby with each other without all the trying to be controversial shit. It's wonderful. Does make me wonder if I'm getting old a bit early though (im 34)

They did a podcast with Adam Buxton to promote their new book, which sounds great. i just got the audiobook and it seems to be a 6-hour chat.

I enjoyed this, although I would do seeing as it has Bob Mortimer. And it's called Gone Fishing.

 

It's great to see Bob having a bit of a comeback, what with this, his frequent slots on "Would I lie to you" and the Athletico Mince podcast. When he had his heart scare, he did seem to disappear for a while, but thankfully he's in great form these days.

[El Pibe]

I could listen to Bob Mortimer talking for hours

He’s incredible, and better than he’s ever been. For me, he was always a bit shit compared to Vic Reeves. Like he was trying too hard to be as ‘zany’ as Vic, but it never felt authentic.

 

Now it’s like he’s found his voice, and he’s much funnier than Vic Reeves ever was.

Bollocks. Bob was always ballbouncingly funny!

Dude! It was always about Bob

[Sidewaysbob]

The funny guy needs the work of an excellent foil to appear amazing. 

For every 10 Hale and Pace + 15 Little and Larges , there is only one Morecambe and Wise.

I got their book for my birthday, only flicked through it so far (I'm trying to get through the first Game of Thrones book) but I did read the recipe for Bobs cauliflower pizza base where he tells you you'll look magnificent wringing out any moisture from the cauliflower rice.

Just seen this too
