[TV] Mortimer and Whitehouse - gone fishing

[gripper stebson]

Bob Mortimer is the funniest man in England by a country mile.

Correct.

 

[Mr Putdown]

Your place? You own the Bridge Pool? The whole Royalty? Or you run it? Davis tackle? Whatever the answer - blimey!

Yes and yes.

 

[Mr Putdown]

Yeah, sorry about that. The Royalty holds a very special place in my heart - it was the place that hosted my first fishing holiday with my grandfather, and, 15 years later, also my last holiday with him. Until only last year it was where I caught my largest barbel. The Bridge Pool is where I caught my first salmon.

I can think of no other place in the world that brings back so many happy memories of family times, and fishing days out. My love of fishing predates my love for the Albion by not far off a decade.

Lovely story, thinking about it, we’ve probably met.

 

[BadFish]

Brilliant thread, not into fishing and not seen the show but brilliant thread.

Well done all.

Apart from all the other stuff that Bob has done (with Vic) if anybody has seen his stints on Would I Lie To You? you would have seen what a funny and oddball life he had lead.
Most of his stories were so off the wall that they were called lies, but nope, they were the truth.
Wish I could remember some examples but I can't.
Loving the fishing show, just a naturally very funny man.

 

[dazzer6666]

Yes and yes.

Blimey. That place is legendary.

Haven't watched the second one yet. I'm now at that age when fishing and heart health are both of equal interest to me.......you just never know when the info will come in handy

For those who don't like fishing, could you post the handy heart info?

There’s precious little of an educational value on either fishing or heart conditions to be honest........there is quite a lot of honest discussion, and an awful lot of pisstaking though [emoji23][emoji23]

Sounds good.

 

[vegster]

Would love to spend all day reminiscing and musing while fishing..... and getting paid for it.

Yeah, but are you funny you miserable so-and-so?

 

[vegster]

Yeah, but are you funny you miserable so-and-so?

For a small upfront fee I can be hilarious.

 

[Goldstone1976]

Yes and yes.

There are not many people that I’m envious of; but I am you. Palace aside, ofc!

Lovely story, thinking about it, we’ve probably met.

Yes, I suspect we have.

Maybe we will again - I’m down for three days in a few weeks.

If you make yourself known, you can have a day’s fishing on me.

 

[Baker lite]

Not very representative...
Two White ,Middle aged,most likely rabid Brexiteers,how is the BME community represented here?
These two STOLE My future.

That’s incredibly generous - thank you.

Beers on me if you fancy a few.

 

[LowKarate]

Well worth watching.

The value for me is watching them make each other laugh. The fishing detail is fairly light, so that it’s more of an entertainment show than a typical fishing show.

Good comparison above with the Detectorists........the fishing is almost incidental really (although it’s obvious Whitehouse loves it and is pretty good, whilst Mortimer is properly useless [emoji23][emoji23])

That’s might view on Paul Whitehouse. A natural comic genius, an infectious sense of humour.
