Paul, Bob and terrier Ted travel to Nottingham to fish the mighty river Trent for Barbel. They stay in a memorable party house and invite a very special guest to join them.

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

This episode was initially planned to air at 9pm as normal but delayed in a schedule change to pay tribute to the recently deceased Dame Maggie Smith.
