Mortimer & Whitehouse: Gone Fishing: The Comedy Classic
£7.40£10.40 (-29%)
Two comedy greats talk life, friendship and the joys of fishing…
Bob Mortimer and Paul Whitehouse have been friends for 30 years, but when life intervened, what was once a joyous and spontaneous friendship dwindled to the odd phone call or occasional catch up. Then, Glory Be! They were both diagnosed with heart disease and realised that time is short. They’d better spend it fishing…
So they dusted off their kits, chucked on their waders and ventured into the achingly beautiful British countryside to fish, rediscover the joys of their friendship and ruminate on some of life’s most profound questions, such as: How did we get so old? Where are all the fish? What are your favourite pocket meats? What should we do if we find a corpse?
Following the success of the BBC’s Mortimer & Whitehouse: Gone Fishing series, this wonderful book by two lifelong friends is a love letter to the joys of angling, the thrill of the catch and the virtue of having a right daft laff with your mates. On the fish, the equipment, the food, and the locations, Gone Fishing is the perfect book for fans of Bob Mortimer, Paul Whitehouse and for anyone who wants to read a brilliantly written and endlessly funny joint memoir on life, friendship and joys of fishing.

Bought for a gift so haven’t read myself. It was enjoyed. Quite a lot about fishing. More than the show but still enjoyed

Was a great read
by Amazon Customer
I would have liked the book cover to be as illustrated especially as its a hard back. The plastic bag cover was torn exposing the book and some of the pages were squashed back. Unfortunately it was a present for the day of delivery or I would have sent it back.

Loved reading Gone fishing, I’m a big fan of the TV series, so was good to get some insight into their thoughts and adventures.
I would love to bump into them on the riverside one day as I think we share similar thoughts and experiences. Thanks both.
