Gone Fishing is like The Trip on statins
Two comedians chat about their health and try to catch salmon - a simple premise but, as their Christmas special shows, one that's utterly charming.

British Comedy Guide, 8th November 2020Mortimer & Whitehouse: Gone Fishing to return for fourth series
Bob Mortimer and Paul Whitehouse are to return to BBC Two next year in a fourth series of their light-hearted angling comedy series, Gone Fishing.
British Comedy Guide, 29th September 2020Isn't the BBC something to be proud of?
I have been adoring Bob Mortimer and Paul Whitehouse's box-fresh series of Gone Fishing, sweeping aside the claustrophobia of 2020 with vast, glittering Scottish rivers and those likeable comedians giggling on the bank. Harry Hill has come back to the BBC after 25 years with Harry Hill's World of TV, a new Sunday night clips show that had me laughing out loud from its opening moment onwards, hosing the gloom away in a fiesta of joyful silliness. And this is just the stuff that old white men have been doing! Not bad, if you think they don't get work any more!
Victoria Coren Mitchell, The Telegraph, 5th September 2020Review: Mortimer & Whitehouse: Gone Fishing
It seems unfair to measure either of them against each other, but really this was Mortimer's episode. He had one spectacular reverie imagining what his father might have seen last when he died in a car crash. "He'll have seen this container coming towards him - maybe it said Sunshine Peaches on the side?" The irony being "he didn't like peaches... And then bang, tin of peaches," he mimed it landing on his dad's head. Comedy at its absolute hardest.
Camilla Long, The Times, 30th August 2020Gone Fishing review
Forget the fishing, this brilliant comedy duo have got me hooked.
Christopher Stevens, Daily Mail, 24th August 2020Reviews: Gone Fishing, Harry Hill's World of TV
I'm still wild about Harry, even on a clip-show.
Carol Midgley, The Times, 24th August 2020Mortimer and Whitehouse: Gone Fishing review
A soothing, poignant day out with two of our most gifted comic performers.
