Anita Singh, The Telegraph, 23rd August 2020Mortimer And Whitehouse: Gone Fishing, BBC Two preview
In the first episode set on and in the River Tweed it actually seems to be Paul Whitehouse that does most of the heavy lifting when it comes to the fishing. Whitehouse has been the Mr Miyagi to Mortimer's Karate Kid throughout two series so far and I'm not sure how much Mortimer has actually picked up.

Mark Jefferies, The Mirror, 18th August 2020One and done: Vic and Bob's Lucky Sexy Winners
Being a huge fan of Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer meant that before watching this 2012 pilot from the duo I presumed by the end of it I'd be shaking my fist at the injustice of it not being given a full series, and indeed that was the case. It's not as if Vic and Bob are exactly newcomers to tv either, presumably Channel 4 knew exactly what they'd be getting from the deranged duo and so it feels odd that it wasn't picked up.
