A second series of Bob Mortimer and Paul Whitehouse going fishing...

Paul and Bob travel to the picturesque River Usk in Wales, where Paul’s father first taught him to fish as a young child. Their quarry is the wild brown trout. They discuss their respective childhoods and reflect on their own family lives. In their cosy cottage accommodation in the heart of the countryside they compare school photographs and Paul serenades Bob with his guitar.

Bob had me laughing out loud with his comments on Paul's feet...Laughing

What a gem this programme is.

I love these two together

I really enjoyed it too. I have got the audiobook, which is an excellent companion to the series. Just two old friends chatting, basically, without the fishing bits.

Was crying laughing at these two in their Christmas Gone Fishing special last night. Laughing

Tears also as Bob reminisced about his Mum and childhood - he's a sentimental soul.

Chris Rea made a guest appearance in this episode.

What a tonic Bob and Paul have been in this trying times.
