Fresh from news that the popular comedy will return for a fifth series, we have three copies of Mortimer & Whitehouse: Gone Fishing Series 4 to give away.
The perhaps unlikely hit follows comedy pals Bob Mortimer and Paul Whitehouse as they travel the British Isles, practising the art of angling whilst taking in stunning countryside scenery, and chatting about comedy, family, life and staying in an array of unique, often picturesqe holiday lets.
Having clocked up four series since its 2018 debut, and spawned a best-selling spin-off book, the charming series is set against the backdrop of the long-term friends both having undergone major heart surgeries in recent years. Whilst expert Angler Paul teaches Bob, a keen but inexperienced fisherman, the skill of the catch, Bob repays his pal by cooking "heart-healthy" meals, driving them between locations, and sorting out each night's accommodation.
Aired last autumn, the full fourth series - plus 2020 Christmas special, featuring special guest Chris Rea - is now available on Blu-ray and DVD, and we have three copies in the standard definition format to give away in celebration of the modern classic comedy.
