What a wee gem this is. My sons all recommended it, so I had a look, and it was great viewing, so I’m watching on iPlayer. Lovely scenery, music and chat ( and sometimes even a wee mention of fishing!)

This is one of the best programs on tv at the moment, never really been into fishing although I have been ( a lovely peaceful day out if the weather is good)
These two are a joy to watch

I love it. This is as good as the first series.

They are a delight

Beautiful scenery, just a lovely gentle watch ?

I love it. It’s great fun. Paul Whitehouse is a consummate fisherman and Bob Mortimer is a hoot. They’re perfect together.

I find it so touching. Remembering them when they were young, and seeing how they have mellowed with age. They seem like such good friends.
And they get so excited about fish!

I love the programme. ??

It's lovely.

This is my weekly treat. They're a great combination. The scenery and music are lovely too. I love to see what Bob's cooked and where they're staying overnight.

Most enjoyable programme. I love their funny, and serious banter and they stay in such interesting accommodation.

Love this. They are so great together, funny, touching and interesting.

Pure TV gold .So funny,heartwarming and uplifting watching Paul and Bob together.Who would have thought a programme with fishing in it would have us hooked.(sorry !)

Simply brilliant - not to be missed.

What a wonderful relationship these two old friends have.
They stayed in a converted toilet block in Sheringham that I was desperate to buy! In it’s original state.
My DH was very firm in his refusal. I still regret it?

We love this programme, the best on TV at the moment.
Beautiful scenery. These two bounce off each other, natural comedy at its best.

Wonderful programme, absolutely delightful. Beautiful scenery, great chat, very touching at times. Although I have to say I absolutely loathed the few times I went fishing with my ex, especially in a wee boat. On a riverbank wasn't quite so bad, at least I could go for a walk.

I came on specially to see if anyone else had viewed this. As someone said, a real gem of a programme! I watched all the episodes today and yes, I was hookedwink Damp eyes when I heard Thank You For Being A Friend playing at the end.

Watched this last night after downloading the first programme. Watched it with daughter and OH and we were all laughing out loud. Thank goodness I’ve found something else we all enjoy! Looking forward to watching all the other series.

Daddima Tue 29-Sep-20 13:32:31

Good news today is that a fourth series is to be made.

Greyduster Tue 29-Sep-20 13:44:13

Good news! Having covered all the various fishing disciplines in the previous series’, I’m looking forward to seeing how they carry it forward, but the fishing is really just an adjunct to their supreme comedic skills. Bob Mortimer is becoming quite a seasoned angler now though. Love it!

Kate1949 Tue 29-Sep-20 15:19:13

Fantastic this week again. Lovely music too.

tiredoldwoman Tue 29-Sep-20 15:53:22

Yes , they used The Proclaimers ' After You've Gone ' in memory of a show's participant . Made me cry - I'd never heard the song before , might pencil it in for after I've gone ....

Sheena Tue 29-Sep-20 18:46:45

Two words.... Love it !! smile ... I do so hope they do another series .
