TV for the current world

Never left a review of anything or anyone. This is so completely life affirming. The fishing is secondary. If this doesn't make smile and want to spend time with friends, laughing and smiling you may need to check your pulse.

Wonderful

Sometimes in life, all you need is half an hour of two incredibly funny men fishing, chatting, introspecting and making you laugh and that is what you get here. Gone Fishing is relaxing, beautiful on the eye, occasionally quite moving and, above all, just funny. It's a show I could watch again and again.

Nothing happens, but in the best possible way

2 comedians produce something only occasionally funny, but always profound. A meditation on death that soothes the soul, and calms the clouded mind. If you don't expect their comedy of old, you will be rewarded with pathos in spades

Review from a non fisherman

It doesn't matter whether you fish or not this beautiful series is perfection. Rarely have I seen a program that shows our Country in such a glorious light. Mortimer and Whitehouse rapport is both hilariously funny and at times very moving. The background music is also perfectly chosen, The Proclaimers - After you've gone in Season 2 is a particularly moving highlight as is Vide Cor Meum at the close of Season 3. If you want 30 minutes of calm joyous television after the stresses of modern living please watch this show.

Me? Watch a programme about two old blokes with dodgy tickers going fishing? With my reputation? I wasn't sure about this but it totally works, Paul & Bob have a brilliant rapport & you get the impression this is so easy for them to pair up, albeit due to the fact that they have similar ailments in common. It's funny, thought provoking & a genuine "buddy" programme.
