It sounds peculiar to say a program called ' Gone Fishing' is not so much about fishing but is as much about the comradery between two old friends who share time together having both had severe health scares, the focus behind the show.
After all they hardly catch a multitude of fish, Mortimer is happy to just get wet, do a bit of cooking and have a chat. Nowt wrong in that.
I enjoy watching the two of them sharing banter, giving each each other friendly stick and I would love to be sat on the river bank with them, they are right up my street as they say.
I understand the slow pace is not everybody's cup of tea, it would not be of interest to those who think it is about fishing but it does have a certain charm about it.
