Further details
Paul and Bob travel with their trusty terrier Ted to fish the mighty river Trent in Nottingham in search of a barbel. In the large, wide river, they can sense the presence of big barbel, but will they land one?
Later, they stay in a memorable party house with a bar, games room, nightclub and hot tubs. The boys can really relive their youths and turn back the years at this special place. But will they have the energy to stay up all night?
There is a big surprise guest for Paul hiding at the venue, and Paul is almost speechless as he meets him, much to Bob's delight - legendary DJ Tony Blackburn.
Notes
